WW1 STORIES Ernest Chapman Whinfield Archibald Ernest Whinfield was born at Pannoobamawm, the son of James and Elizabeth Archibald. He attended the Bamawm State School. It appears that in February 1916, Ernest tried to enlist but required his parents’ signatures as he was only 20 years old, even though at 6’2” and 11 stone 8 pounds, he would have been an imposing figure. So on 3rd March Ernest returned with a letter signed by both parents - and his brother Harold James - enlisting as a Private, regimental number 503. His brother, Lance Cor-poral Harold James, enlisted with the regimental number 504. Both were allocated to the 38th Battalion which was formed on 1st March 1916 at the Bendigo Racecourse. Ernest embarked on HMAT A54 Runic on 20 June 1916 from Melbourne. Whilst at sea he contracted measles. After more training in England he was sent to France on the 22 November then to the trenches on 1 December. On 5 December Ernest was killed in action at Houplines, France. He is buried at the Cite Bonjean Military Cemtery, Armentieres.

Joseph Hector Percy Chappel Joseph Hector Percy Chappel would have recently read the horrific news of the ANZAC forces of Gallipoli when he decided to enlist for service on 24 July 1915, regimental number 7936. Percy [senior] was born November 1894 near Wanurp, the son of Edwin and Annie Chappel, later of Bamawm. Percy trained at Castlemaine before being transferred to artillery training at Essendon with the 6th Field Artillery Brigade as a Gunner. Upon arrival in Egypt he joined the 3rd

Field Ambulance for dental duties during February 1916. Soon after he was listed as a driver with the 21st Howitzer Brigade and the 101st Battery. He was then posted to the No. 2 ASH before going back to the 101st Howtizer Battery.

On 1 April 1916 Percy arrived in Marseilles, France to join the European battle which was well underway. In July 1917 he was able to take six weeks leave before rejoining the action. Less than two months later, on 20 October 1917, Percy was killed in action and buried at The Huts Cemetery, Belguim.

Elvas Elliott Jenkins It appears Elvas Jenkins never actually lived in the Lockington district, however, his father, Capt. J Jenkins, was on the Closer Settlement Board and would have had contact with the new settlers of the Bamawm district. Elvas was born at Ararat and became a printer with McCarron, Bird & Co where he worked for seven years. In 1914 he started

training in the Methodist ministry at Queens College, Melbourne. Arriving at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 with the 2nd Field Company Engineers, he soon received a temporary promotion. According to an inscription in Elvas’ bible carried at Gallipoli, a bullet lodged in the bible he was carrying which may have saved his life. The Bible Society’s Museum has the bible which belonged to Elvas with the bullet still in it. Surviving Gallipoli, Elvas was sent to the Western Front where he joined the 1st Pioneer Battalion. On his final mission he was given a Brigadier’s car to do a reconnaissance mission with Capt. Bardin inspecting trenches. While in a trench comparing notes with Bardin on the evening of 19 July 1916, Elvas was hit with fire from a sniper. He was wounded in the neck and shoulder which Bardin attended to before taking him to the medical station to be treated. Unfortunately, Elvas died of his wounds just hours later. He is buried at the Dantzig Alley Cemetery near Albert, France. A stain glass window at Queens College Chapel is dedicated to Elvas. Elvas also appears on honour rolls at Bamawm and the former Pine Grove memorial.

10 FAMOUS COWS TO INSPIRE YOU CONTINUED

by s.e. smith, April 1, 2013 www.care2.com/causes/10-famous-cows-to-inspire-you 7. Maudine Ormsby Maudine Ormsby was elected Homecoming Queen at Ohio State University in 1926 despite not being enrolled as a student, thanks to irregularities in the election process. The most irregular situation about the election, though, was the identity of the winner: Maudine was a cow. And yes, she was crowned and attended the homecoming parade, although she declined to step out for the dance; instead, runnerup Rosalind Morrison Snapp hoofed it on the dance floor. 8. Hi Cow This steer is a friendly and gracious host to anyone who pops by his pasture, but that’s not what saved him from the freezer. Instead, it’s the startling and distinctive marking on his side, which clearly reads “hi.” With a sign like that, it’s easy to argue a clear case for mercy. 9. The Cow That Jumped Over the Moon One of the most famous cows in history sadly has no name; in “Hey Diddle Diddle,” a rhyme from Mother Goose, this cow jumps over the moon, no mean feat. Along with the other characters in this classic nursery rhyme, the cow may have no name, but she’s still embedded in the minds of millions of English-speaking children who heard all about her in their formative years.

10. Pauline Wayne Think a White House vegetable garden is impressive? Many prior residents of the White House also maintained some livestock on the premises, like Pauline Wayne, who supplied President Taft with milk from 1910-1913 when previous First Cow Mooley Wooly wasn’t up to the task anymore. Pauline was allowed to freely roam the White House grounds and became a common sight and press favorite; notably, she was the last official White House cow, although we think that tradition should be revived!

“The Udder Page”

A lady from the city and her travelling companion were riding the train through the countryside when she noticed some cowsS.

"What a cute bunch of cows!" she remarked. "Not a bunch, herd", her friend replied. "Heard of what?" "Herd of cows." "Of course I've heard of cows." "No, a cow herd." "What do I care what a cow heard. I have no secrets to keep from a cow!"

DIANA PUBLISHES HER SECOND

BOOK Former Lockington school teacher and Tennyson resident, Diana Crumpler,

recently published her second book titled ‘PROSTITUTING SCIENCE, The Pyschologisation of MCS, CFS and EHS for political gain’. It describes her personal story of multiple chemical sensitivity, and provides evidence that MCS, EHS, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are real and related conditions. Diana suggests mechanisms that can account for them, and the huge impact of chemical exposures on society and their link to conditions like Alzheimer’s, allergies, autism, birth and fertility problems, pointing out how and why our society has closed its ears to this truth. Husband, Bernie, will display the book which will be for sale for $29.95. (Postage costs an extra $7.50). Diana’s first book, ‘Chemical Crisis, One woman’s story. Humanity’s future?’, will also be available for sale at the rally, costing $20.00. Just ask Bernie

The event will be held within the school grounds with all grade levels participating. This is a lead up event before the Echuca Cross Country on May 1st. We are holding a fundraiser in conjunction with the LCS Cross Country. This is a chance for students to raise some money for the school’s sporting department and earn some great prizes for themselves at the same time. Students who raise $10 or more in donations will be entitled to a prize of their choice. Students do not need to seek spon-sorship if they choose not to. Once the fundraiser is complete, please cut out the ‘how to claim your prize section’ on the sponsorship form and return along with your monies to the school office or your teacher on or before the April 24th. Please be sure to fill out your prize request. The individual prizes will be delivered shortly after. We also wel-come parents and family members to attend the Cross Country event to help cheer on the students. Good luck and thank you for considering our fundraising event. The first 3 students in each age group will be invited to participate in the Interschool Cross Coun-try to be held in Echuca on the 1st May.

CAN YOU HELP WITH A PHOTO? Margaret Williamson of Pyramid Hill & District Historical Society Inc. is seeking a photo relating to the

following event. If you can would you please forward to: The Secretary, PO Box 83, Pyramid Hill, 3575, or [email protected]. (The Locky News would be interested too, so please send us a copy too. Any accompanying names would be appreciated.)

“Pyramid Hill Advertiser - February 1 1939 Pyramid Pipe Band assisted at a big gathering held at Rochester last night organised by the Bamawm Caledonian Society. February 8 1939 Pyramid Pipe Band fulfilled an engagement at Rochester last Monday week, and mustered 7 pipers and 4 drummers under Drum major McGillivray. Prior to parading the streets the band, accompanied by Chief Malcolm McGillivray, Mr. Thos. Ritchie, president of Royal Caledonian Society, Melbourne and past president of the Victorian Scottish Union, Mr. James, secretary of V S U, and Mr. Maxwell, president of Thistle Club Melbourne, made a pilgrimage to the grave of the late Mr. Donald McIvor in Rochester cemetery. Chief McGillivray made reference to the many sterling qualities of the late gentleman, who was one of the main movers in establishing the Pyramid Caledonian Society over 20 years ago. Being a true Scot, a lover of Scottish games, music and literature, and a staunch member of the Scottish Church, the Chief said it was this that prompted the Scots present to make the pilgrimage. Mr. Ritchie made reference to his early association with the late Mr. McIvor on the council of Victoria Scottish Union Pipe - Major Angus Blow played The Lament "Flowers of the Forest." The gathering at the graveside was most impressive, all being in Highland costume. Among their number was Piper D. F. McIvor, Gladfield, a son of deceased.”

UNDER 17’s LBU FOOTBALL Lockington Bamawm United toughed out their first match of the season, welcoming North Bendigo to a sunshine lit ground. A convincing win for North Bendigo, the cats playing with a skeleton side and being hunted all day by a very tight orchestrated side. However, with Joel Randall again at the helm as coach, there is no doubt we will be seeing the boys go from strength to strength. This season the club welcomes 6 very talented and keen players from Echuca.Mitch Frew, Shaun Mitchell, Tom Creighton, Matt Hinks and Cathal McNauty and Nicoli Henery coming from Echuca United. Also much welcomed back to his home ground is Tim Murray. Last season’s Under 14s player Dylan Keath will also be an asset for the cats. Despite the loss it was a game with many highlights with a taste of what these boys can do. Will Harry stood out the entire game in full back, taking strong marks and us-ing his big frame to full advantage, blocking many attacks. Co Captain Joss Howlett never gave up encouraging his side the entire game, and leading by example in the ruck and forward line to take home a goal, as did Mitch Frew, playing around the middle putting one through the sticks in the third. The second and third efforts by Darcy Thompson didn’t go unnoticed at back flank, while Matt Fink showed his skill with long accurate kicks from full back. Thanks to Hayden Minnett for stepping up from the under 14's. Final score. North Bendigo 21.16.142 to LBU 2.1.13. Awards: Joss Howlett (Thomas Harry) Mitch Frew(Morans Water) Darcy Thompson (P&J Haulage) Will Harry (Pentreaths Pizza) Matt Hinks (Amped Hair). Report April 20: The boys travelled to Toolleen to take on last years u/17 premiers Mount Pleasant. With the un-veiling of the premier’s flag & better weather for footy

than the opening round the Cats came out firing with a 7 goal 1 first quarter. Right from the first bounce Joss Howlett showed his dominance winning the tap around the ground all day. Jake Ludbey opened the gates with the first goal from a free kick putting it straight through the centre. With runs coming through the centre from the likes of Mitchell, Frew, Thompson and Wild, gave the for-wards opportunities all day. There was strong marking, great crumbing & accurate goal kicking by Dylan Keath, Ricky Walsh, Jake Ludby, Tom Wild and Will Harry. The backline worked hard & their efforts paid off keeping the Blues to 1 goal 1 first quarter. With strong marks around the ground by Wild, Frew ,Howlett, Powell & the good use of their bodies, the boys put on another 4 goals & 2 points keeping the opposition to scoring just 1 goal 3 points. The second half saw Mount up their tempo but the backline stood strong with bursts of speed from Tim Murray & great defence by Matt Hinks, Tom Creighton, Corey West & Cathal McNauty. The second half saw LBU add another 6 goals & 7 points coming from Ricky Walsh, Shaun Mitchell, Matt Hinks and Jake Lugby. The tackles came hard & fast with Will Harry laying a perfect one toward the end of the game. The likes of Baker, Felmingham, Jones and Lind all running hard and being strong contributors all day. It was a terrific team effort by all the boys. Final Score: Mounts: 7.1.43 LBU: 17.9.111 GOAL KICKERS:: Ricky Walsh 4, Dylan Keath 3, Mitch Frew 3, Shaun Mitchell 2, Joss Howlett 1, Tom Wild 1, Will Harry 1, Tom Creighton 1, Jacob Ludbey 1 BEST PLAYERS : Dylan Keath, Joss Howlett, Shaun Mitchell, Will Harry, Ricky Walsh A big thankyou to Sue Thompson for writing up the game.

LOCKINGTON BOWLS CLUB Report - April 7: Activity on the greens are easing somewhat since the completion of the pennant season at Lockington. However the true emphasis is on the outstanding club competitions where some games are way behind schedule. In the 100 Up championship one game is to be

On the local tournament circuit several members have competed during the past week with no reasons to celebrate - as yet! The women will stage their annual Medley Fours tournament on Friday commencing at 10.00am. Contact Gwen Haines 5486 2492 for details.

Russell Holman, Bev Brereton, Tom Davis, Les Brereton and Alan Kauffman performed a splendid job in the running of the day. On the greens

there was no better trio than Daniel Bacon, Phillip Cunnington and rookie skipper Matthew Brereton who actually spreadeagled the field to wn the major trophies. Just short of the major spoils was the team of Andrew Cochrane, Maxine Dyson and Jeremy "Jezza" Mundie skipper. Best bowler on the day and the most exciting was Joe Hollaway by a large margin ahead of Marcus Angove. Norm Bacon figured in the process. Bec Wickman, Alan Kauffman and Rhys Woodland (s) tried valiantly but ran out of time while Matt Bongiavanni skipped a team of hopefuls to a win. Emily Bongiavanni, Russell Holman and Sam Wolfe (s) were not far off the pace. A great day had by all. LBUFNC President Joe Hollaway thanked the Bowling Club for the exciting day on the greens.
