24.01.2022 The best part of being your president... Entering the Club yesterday afternoon, and not being able to hear individual conversations over the laughter, and getting to know the members. Like David O'Byrne MP, thanks for the beer, its lovely to know we’ve such a great representative in the area, and another friend who I’ve made at the KBRSL.

23.01.2022 On behalf of Midshipman Kerry Francis MARIEN’s family and friends I would like to make this dedication. On this day the 10th February 2021 we bow our heads and ...remember Royal Australian Navy Midshipman Kerry Francis MARIEN of The Royal Australian Navy. Kerry Francis MARIEN was born in Wyong, NSW, Australia on the 7 May 1944 son of Mr and Mrs MARIEN, Kerry attended the Marist Brothers College at Kogarah, NSW. Kerry enlisted into the RAN College, at Jervis Bay, as a Cadet Midshipman in January 1960. Kerry graduated from the College in 1963 and gained his colours for tennis. Kerry Marien was promoted to Midshipman in September 1963 and undertook training in the aircraft carriers HMAS Melbourne and HMAS Sydney in late 1963. He joined the Daring Class destroyer HMAS Voyager, for further training, in early January 1964. On the night of 10 February 1964, the HMAS Voyager was at sea, off the south coast of NSW, participating in exercising with the aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne when the two collided at approximately 21:00 that evening. HMAS Voyager was cut in half by the force of the collision. Marien, along with others, managed to get clear of the aft section of the stricken vessel and into one of Voyager’s inflatable life rafts. Midshipman Marien noticed other survivors in difficulty in the water around him and chose to re-enter the water to render assistance. The last person to see Midshipman Marien alive reported that he swam up to him and asked whether he needed any help. On replying that he did not, he saw Marien swim in the direction of the severed forward part of the ship; which it is thought he may have entered. The forward section sank soon after and Midshipman Marien was not seen again. His body was never recovered and he was one of the 82 men from Voyager listed as missing or killed that night. Sadly Midshipman Kerry Francis MARIEN was Reported Lost at Sea on the 10th February 1964 due to the sinking of the HMAS Voyager. Midshipman Kerry MARIEN’s finally resting place is Lost at Sea. Midshipman MARIEN is remembered on the HMAS VOYAGER Memorial at Jervis Bay. Midshipman MARIEN is remembered on the HMAS VOYAGER Honour Roll at Kangaroo Point. Midshipman MARIEN is remembered on the HMAS VOYAGER Memorial at Kings Park Western Australia. May you forever live on in our hearts and memories Kerry you will never be forgotten. Lest We Forget

11.01.2022 #OTD: General Monash knighted in the field On the 12th of August 1918, Lieutenant General John Monash was knighted on the battlefield by King George V. Monas...h was invested as a Knight Commander of the Bath for his services in 1918, particularly for the role he played in organising the offensive launched on the 8th of August at the Battle of Amiens. The Battle of Amiens marked the blackest day for the German army, and undeniably led to their downfall 100 days later. Using a massed force of 580 tanks and armoured cars, the Australians advanced rapidly and demonstrated the superiority of combined arms. The Australians would advance some 10km deep across a 24km front during the first day alone. In just over three hours, the Australians overran the enemy front lines, capturing 29,144 prisoners, 338 guns, and liberating 116 towns. Described by Field Marshal Montgomery as ‘the best general on the western front in Europe’, General Sir John Monash is undoubtedly one of if not the most famous Australian commander in history. Edit: An earlier version of this post referenced this event as "the first time a British monarch had honoured a commander in such a way in 200 years". Although a number of sources repeat this claim, I have decided to remove it as a few people have mentioned other distinguished individuals who appear to have also earned this distinction. Personally, I don't think that whether or not he was the first person in 200 years to have been honoured this way diminishes in any way from his achievements, so I'm just going to remove the line instead. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you spot an error, please send me a message.

11.01.2022 It’s Thursday so that only means one thing......

11.01.2022 Anzac day at the Club is shaping up nicely; a public commemoration then a gunfire breakfast at the Club. After the great, but private display that was 2020. Personally I think it fantastic and I'm humbled as an an Australian and Ex Serviceman, that despite the year that 2020 was, still, so many people lit up the dawn, thank you for honoring the great men and women that have sacrificed everything for our country. This year though, if you choose, we can do it in a more public w...ay, at the beach, with our family's and our friends. The Sub Branch have assisted with the purchase of a second BBQ to cater for breakfast post the Dawn Service, Mel, team, thank you! We hope we need the extra grill plate. All proceeds from the day will go the the Sub Branch to assist with the excellent, and vital work they do in supporting our veteran community. We've also been supported by, Pure Foods, PFD, Woolworths, Coles and both local Banjos, this could not happen without your support. Thank you!!!! The Volunteers, thank you, you are the life and soul of the Club. Tony, our Paton, the driving force behind the organisation of this day, thank you, you're the best! Hope to see you there, come and say hello. Yours Aye, Jeremy Hammond LEUT, RAN (RTD) President KBRSL Club Inc. Pure Foods, PFD Food Services, Woolworths, Coles, @Banjos.

11.01.2022 Dear Members of the Kingston Beach RSL Club. Many of you now may have seen the Sub-Branch newsletter. The Sub-Branch committee have let their preference for a move to the Golf Club known, loud and clear. The Golf Club suits the Sub Branch, they need a home, and someone to run a club to benefit them and their members.... Our Club, as Tim mentioned in his last Newsletter, has no business to run at the Golf Club and a move there will see the demise of the Club, quite simply your Board would serve no purpose. I for one would rather remain at Beach Road and have complete control over its successes and failures. We (The RSLs) have a more limited say of the goings on at the Golf Club. The new owners and the presumptive Board elect have plans, big plans that will benefit all our members. The Sub-Branch in their newsletter had a call to arms, I ask the same of all the members of the CLUB. If you are UNABLE to make the AGM, email mysefl or the secretary [email protected] with your name and state your preference. Don’t delay, we need this decision ratified at the AGM so everyone can finally move forward, however that may look. A. The board signs a lease and remains at Beach Road, or B. The Board support the Sub Branch to the tune of $200,000 in their required refurbishments at the Golf Club, and then the board will close down. The pros and cons of both have been discussed at length, but if you require more information, contact Jeremy Hammond 0417159040 or [email protected] Alternatively, please come to the AGM and make your voice heard. Jeremy

07.01.2022 #OTD Aerial Battle over Rabaul On the 20th of January 1942, Wirraways from 24 Squadron RAAF achieved immortal fame during a heroic battle against Japanese Ze...ros which were attacking Rabaul. Significantly outclassed and outnumbered, the Australians nonetheless put up a brave fight and met the enemy in the skies above Rabaul. On January 20, a coastwatcher on a nearby island reported seeing a flight of 22 enemy planes headed for Rabaul from the north. Another coastwatcher observed 33 more planes approaching from the west. Another 50 bombers and fighters remained undetected and were coming in from the east. These were launched by the aircraft carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku, both veterans of the attack on Pearl Harbor. At the time, two Wirraways were in the air on standard patrol. The six others were scrambled while ground control still believed there was a single flight of 22 Japanese planes approaching. It was assumed that most of these would be bombers with a few escorting fighters. The Australians were outnumbered by more than 10 to one. Despite this, the Wirraways still launched and closed with the Japanese over Rabaul. Three Australian planes were shot down, and two others crash-landed as a result of enemy fire. One other plane landed with part of its tail shot away. Just one emerged undamaged. No Zeros were hit. Six members of the squadron were killed and five wounded or injured that day, the worst but most gallant in Wirraway history. Only three aircraft stationed at Rabaul, one Hudson and two Wirraways, remained undamaged. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you spot an error, please send me a message.

02.01.2022 On behalf of Lieutenant Commander Henry Stoker's family and friends I would like to would like to make this dedication. On this day the 2nd February 2021 we bow... our heads and remember Royal Navy Lieutenant Commander Henry STOKER, Commander of the Australian Submarine HMAS AE2 during the First World War. Henry Hugh Gordon Dacre STOKER born 01st February 1885 in Dublin, Ireland, Henry At the age of 12, Stoker decided upon a naval career; within a few years he was accepted as a naval cadet and had embarked upon training on the Royal Navy's training ship, HMS Britannia. In 1904 Stoker was promoted to acting sub-lieutenant and began study at the Royal Naval College at Greenwich. Attracted by the prospect of extra pay, he volunteered for the submarine service but a year passed before he was accepted. At 23 he was promoted to lieutenant, given a submarine command, and later given a posting to open Britain's first submarine station at Gibraltar. Five years later, apparently pursuing a desire to play polo in Australia, Stoker applied for and received a posting to the RAN's new submarine service. In 1913 he took command of AE2. On 2 March 1914, AE2 and its sister ship, AE1, set sail for Australia, arriving in Sydney on 24 May having completed the longest submarine journey then undertaken. In August 1914 the two submarines were ordered to the Pacific to hunt for German raiders believed to be in the area. Shortly afterwards AE1 disappeared. AE2 returned to Sydney, and in late December 1914 sailed for the Middle East with the second AIF convoy. Having arrived in Egypt, Stoker was ordered to join the naval forces then gathering for an attempt to force the Dardanelles. The attempt ended in the defeat of the British and French navies on 18 March 1915, while Stoker's submarine was being repaired in Malta. The Admiralty decided submarines might succeed where surface ships had failed. Stoker and his crew sailed on the eve of the Gallipoli landings the 25th April 1915 His torrid journey, was full of risk and exposure to frequent attack, ended in the Sea of Marmora six days later when AE2 was sunk and her crew captured. Stoker and his crew spent the next three and a half years in Turkish captivity - escaping and being recaptured - while enduring solitary confinement, bizarre snatches of freedom, and endless months in prison camps. He returned to England after the war and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his deeds of 1915, although he and others felt he deserved the Victoria Cross. Although he was given other submarine commands and in December 1919 was promoted to commander, he had tired of submarines. Stoker sought transfer but when it was offered he opted instead for an acting career. He retired from the Navy in 1920 and went on to succeed as an actor, writer, and theatre director. In the Second World War, Stoker was recalled to duty, commanded a naval base, worked in public relations, and was involved in the planning for D-Day. After the war he returned to the theatre. He became the Irish croquet champion in 1962 at the age of 77. The AE2 was the only unit on the 25th April 1915 to succeed, the rest of the Navy failed and the rest of the Army failed, in a sense the AE2 was too successful and the British kept the there insane invasion plans. To this day the AE2 still lays at the bottom of the Sea of Marmara. Sadly Commander Henry STOKER died of Natural causes in London, England on the 02nd February 1966 he was 81 years of age at the time of his death May you forever live on in our hearts and memories Henry you will never be forgotten.

02.01.2022 The Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd), has been joined by the Chief of Navy, Vice Admiral Michael Noonan AO, to make an announcement in relation to the awarding of a Victoria Cross to Ordinary Seaman Edward Teddy Sheean. Background Story: https://7news.link/3ismiH8 #VictoriaCross

02.01.2022 #OTD Sinking of HMAS Patricia Cam On the 22nd of January 1943, HMAS Patricia Cam was sunk by a Japanese floatplane near the Wessel islands. Based in Darwin, ...Patricia Cam was mainly used to transport supplies to small communities, military outposts and coastwatchers during WWII. Whilst en-route to the Wessel islands, HMAS Patricia Cam was spotted by a Japanese floatplane, which proceeded to bomb the ship. The first bomb exploded on the hold, killing one sailor and causing the ship to sink within a minute. A second bomb killed another sailor and two of the passengers. The floatplane then proceeded to make several strafing runs before landing near the survivors. After failing to encourage the survivors to surrender, one of the crew was captured at gunpoint and flown to Dobo in the Aru islands where he was interrogated before being executed. This man, Reverend Leonard Kentish, was the only Australian to be captured in Australian territory. All but two of the remaining survivors escaped on a liferaft. The liferaft drifted for 15 hours before coming to an islet off Guluwuru where the survivors swam ashore. Fires lit by the survivors was spotted by natives who rendered assistance, and paddled the ship’s captain to the Marchinbar Island radar station where he successfully called for help. The survivors were rescued by HMAS Kuru on the 29th of January. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you spot an error, please send me a message.
