Lest we forget: the names of those who served their country as listed on the Woy Woy Memorial wall

Lest We Forget

The Names of Those Who Served Their Country

on the Woy Woy Memorial Wall

Dr Richard G. Van Wirdum

It is the soldier, not the minister, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped

by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Introduction

The purpose of this project is to record the names on the headstones on the memorial walls in

the Woy Woy Memorial Park and to research personal backgrounds of each name through

official records. The information on the headstones will be written in bold and the personal

information will be taken from the papers of the individual military files. The names show

details of those who came from Australia, New Zealand, the British Isles, Canada, United

States, Netherlands, Free French and others who were members of the Woy Woy and Hardy’s

Bay R.S.L. They are the names of men and woman who served their country in times of

conflict and cover the army, navy, air force, mercantile marine and mercantile navy. The

Australian records are taken from the attestation papers held by the National Archive of

Australia and the embarkation and gallantry medals are taken from the War Memorial in

Canberra. Records from other countries are found on the websites of military files that are

kept in archives of the country they represented.

In the aftermath of WW1, many communities mourning the loss of so many young men and

women turned their minds to permanent memorials to the fallen. In 1922 the Trustees of the

Cox Estate in Woy Woy worked a land exchange whereby they would give a rectangular

block of land about a thousand feet (1,000) feet long by six hundred (600) feet wide along the

waterfront, for a narrow strip of land along Brickwharf Road. On Anzac Day 1925 Brigadier-

General Alex Jobson D.S.O., unveiled the war memorial. It was not officially dedicated until

19th October 1932, when Sir Phillip Game, Governor of New South Wales proclaimed it

Soldier’s Memorial Park

In connextion with this official dedication, a group of Woy Woy Sub-Branch R.S.L.

members, with the assistance of Woy Woy Shire Council, had created something quite

marvellous. The Gosford Times of October 20, 1932 gives the following description, as cited,

of the Park, which was designed by L. H. Webber, Woy Woy Shire Engineer.

The memorial park is laid out in the form of a huge Commonwealth flag being nearly 400 feet long and 130 feet wide. The Union Jack is defined by red granite paths and flower beds; the seven stars are flower beds edged in stone. Superimposed on the Union Jack is a raised Victoria Cross upon which stands the memorial obelisk, a captured cannon and, in the centre, a stone 'altar of sacrifice' which forms the base of the flagstaff. Bordering the park on two sides are rows of native trees, each bearing the name of a soldier killed in action. The entrance gate is in the form of a 1914-15 star supported by massive stone pillars upon which it is intended to place bronze plaques bearing the names of various battle fronts. Each pillar will be capped with a stone bearing the words Lest we forget.

The first Anzac dawn service in the Woy Woy district was held here in 1960, with 150 people

in attendance. In 1974 a wall was erected, containing the headstones of nearly 1,000 locals.

More recently another wall was erected to commemorate the fallen of more recent conflicts.1

The names on the memorial walls are as follows.

At a Collecting Post (Bellewaarde) East of Ypres about 12 noon on 21-10-17 during very heavy shell fire, these two men saw two soldiers who were moving along about 100 years away on the road apparently hit. They immediately took a stretcher and ran down to the men while shells were bursting around them the whole time. When they arrived at the spot where the men were lying they found that they were both dead. Their prompt and spontaneous act show great courage and set a most excellent example to their fellow bearer at the Post. I recommend “immediate award.”

In most conspicious bravery and devotion to duty during the capture at PERONE on September 1st, 1918 by the 14th Australian Infantry Brigade. Although twice blown up and buried by heavy shell fire before the attack commenced he gallantly remained on duty. He replaced a comrade killed by his side and throughout more then 24

hours he carried with his squad scores of wounded to safety from ------ and ------.

The fine conduct of this N.C.O. in remaining on duty throughout was a most inspiring example to other exhausted squads.

death May 20, 1974. He was born in Rocky Creek Station, New South Wales and enlisted on

June 13, 1916 as a 22 year old single Drover. His mother was Catherine McLaughlin of

Delungra Post Office, New South Wales. He embarked from Sydney on October 17, 1918 on

board HMAT A30 Borda.

The following was his citation for the Military Medal as cited.

For conspicious gallantry and devotion to duties during operations against enemy positions South of the SOMME East of HAMEL on 8th

August, 1918.

Private McLAUGHLIN was a Battalion runner. The advance was greatly hampered by a dense fog, which combined with the heavy artillery bombardment of both our own guns and the enemy’s, rendered any onservations of the developmenst of the attack on ACCROCHE WOOD impossible.

This man was sent forward as part of a reconnsissance patrol to locate the extent of the advance of the Companies and their positions. With the aid of a compass he succeded in locating the positions of the Companies and then went forward through the wood and ascertained the positions of the most advanced troops of the Brigade. By this time the enemy had concentrated a very heavy artillery bombardment on ACCROCHE WOOD, but having obtained the information he was determined to deliver it, and in spite of the grave personal danger again returned through the wood and informed the Battalion Commander as to the forward information. This information was of vital assistance to Brigade Headquarters who were then able to free reserves which had been kept in readiness to assist in the capture of ACCROCHE WOOD if necessary.

This heroic action greatly impressed his comrades who considered it impossible for anyone to return through the wood under the enemy’s heavy artillery bombardment.
