23.01.2022 Recently volunteer ambulance officers from Tailem Bend paid a visit to Old Tailem Town Pioneer Village in Tailem Bend for some unique training. Being able to si...mulate training scenarios in the village was an invaluable learning experience for all involved. A special thanks to former ambulance volunteer and Old Tailem Town manager Peter Squires who allowed our crews to use the village after hours. See more

22.01.2022 In Memory of our Fallen Heroes The Game Of Great Deception By Peter Squires Owner of Old Tailem Town... There was excitement in the trenches on this grey Dardanelle day, Our Anzac Brigadier had just told us We are making plans to sneak away. So our game of great deception started to unfold To give us one of the greatest stories this war has ever told. We started making dummies realistic as could be, Then worked out where to place them Somewhere the Turks could easily see. Then we tied dripping jam tins to the triggers of our guns So they would fire off without us once our journey had begun. Our boots were wrapped in blankets dear, So a hundred men could steal away without a sound to hear. Three days of rations strapped to us, sixty pounds of bombs hung front and back Our ragged party lined up to creep off down the track. We knew each crevice in these long winding trenches, living in them in this past year The Brigadier's last words kept ringing in our ears The boats push off and will not put back So everyman for himself in the event of an attack We crept off together on that night at 11.45. Excitement reigned our hearts, we were glad to be alive Our silent line passed under Mule Gulley Bridge Then once upon the sap We had no time for naps Past old number two, outpost station Crept this ragged Anzac Nation We rolled out coils of barbed wire to keep those Turks at bay Then five minutes rest at division headquarters helped us on our way Our bombs were getting heavy, our limbs were getting tired. Past Mule Camp Outpost, we kept up our endless stride, Once on the long beach sap there, up to Walkers Ridge Two long silent lines came together to enter Freedom's Bridge. Then off to the boats and safety on the way to the land we love, With our past comrade's spirits hovering with us above. But the Turkish General could see them going from his shore, And for the sake of Australian and Turkish mothers, he would have them grieve no more. And the game of great deception succeeded with its play But the honour of our fellow man finally had its way> To stand and look around you and count all the things that you hold dear, For if it was not for those old soldiers we may all not be here.
