DEFENCE FORCES

Published 07/02/2024
The Australia Defence Force consists of three services: the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
People from Rosewood and its surrounding communities have served for decades in various conflicts, from the Boer War as part of the Imperial Army through World Wars I and II to the present day. When on the battlefield, no matter where, their hometown was likely uppermost in their thoughts. Like other nearby country towns, Rosewood has a War Memorial to commemorate those who died as a result of their service. Honour boards within these towns also acknowledge the community’s deep commitment to the military forces.

RAAF
The RAAF Base Amberley is only 13.5 kms from Rosewood. It is the Air Force’s largest base employing over 5,000 people.
Photo below: Aerial View of RAAF Amberley on 2nd September 1947 – Eric Douglas collection (These were the days when the route from Ipswich to Toowoomba was through One Mile and the Amberley Airbase, across the runway X and onwards to Toowoomba.)

In April 1952 it was decided that the road to Toowoomba had to be diverted to keep traffic clear of Amberley air base. At that time road traffic was stopped by boom gates during aircraft takeoffs from the runway. Amberley’s main runway cut across the main road from Ipswich to Rosewood and Toowoomba.
Both the runway crossing and the Three Mile bridge, which had been described as a “death trap,” would be eliminated from the main Ipswich-Toowoomba road by having a by-pass road. More importantly, a bomber base would be provided with the construction of a new jet runway. The runway would be 8,000 feet (2.4km) long compared with the existing 6,000 feet (1.8km) strip. Work was to start before June.
Jet plane re-equipping of Amberley’s No. 82 Wing had already begun. The Wing’s two bomber squadrons would benefit from the addition of Canberra twin-jets, the first of which had arrived. The Wing was expected to be re-equipped within three years.
The new road would be about 4½ miles (7.24km) long and would skirt the bases’s southern perimeter. (Later named the Redex Road). Several bridges had to be built. (Heading from Ipswich along Old Toowoomba Road, a right hand turn was made at Sewell’s Road. After skirting the perimeter of the base, a left hand turn was made into Hansen’s Road, which merged into the Amberley Haigslea Road, finally connecting to the Ipswich-Rosewood Road.)
Tenders were called for construction of the road. The Commonwealth Government agreed to bear most of the cost.
The project was expected to take 18 months to complete at a cost of £1,250,000. When the strip was finished, a cross-section would reveal these layers: 23 inches of soil, 13 inches of loam, 10 inches of gravel, all capped by a bitumen seal.
By October, heavy earth-moving plant worth more than £100,000 was at work constructing Queensland’s biggest airstrip, and the first airstrip equiped for jet planes.
A grader working 70ft.(21.3m) from an R.A.A.F. magazine burst into flames early one morning. An Air Force crash tender had the fire under control with the aid of a foam extinguisher by the time the Ipswich Fire Brigade arrived.
In February 1953, conduit pipes were being laid under the runways, through which cables would he drawn later to serve the aerodrome and telephone subscribers beyond that point. The conduits were of a special standard, capable of withstanding extra heavy loads, and sufficient pipes were being laid to cope with development in the area for many years. It was expected that the project would take about four weeks to complete, and would cost approximately £3,000.
In May, a bulldozer, which was being used to obtain material for the new Amberley runway, uncovered human bones at a depth of about 3 ft. at Daley’s slaughter house paddock at Churchill. The bones were thought to be parts of more than one skeleton. The police were advised of the discovery and later took possession of the bones. The paddock was said to have been the site of an Aboriginal camp many years prior.
Dayal Singh Constructions Pty. Ltd were chosen to construct the £500,000 jet runway.
Queensland’s first jet-plane airstrip was commissioned on Friday, 2nd October 1953. A Lincoln bomber roared off the finished 1½ mile runway at 4p.m. Canberra jet bombers would use the strip when the other half-mile (0.8km) was finished in approx. 6 months time.
In February 1954, the Leichhardt and Amberley Progress Association requested that the by-pass road around the new Amberley airstrip be bituminised. The Council Works Committee’s recommendation stated the estimated cost was £8,000 and it was unable to accede to their request. The council’s reply also stated that it realised great inconvenience was caused to service personnel and others who were forced to make the long bus trip, but Council could only undertake to carry out periodical maintenance work on the road.

Flight Lieutenant Noel Warwick Anthony
b.1950 Brisbane, Queensland d. 1980 Kinloss, Scotland
Service number: O120505 Royal Australian Air Force
Noel Anthony was the son of Trevor and Hazel Anthony, who ran the Rosewood Bakery at 66 John Street in the late 1950’s/early 1960’s. Noel was enrolled at the Rosewood State School in 1959. He joined the R.A.A.F., and he was sent on an exchange posting to R.A.F. Kinloss, on the Moray Firth in the north east of Scotland.

Pictured above: Flying Officer Noel Anthony at the controls of a Royal Australian Air Force ‘Orion’ during exercises off New Zealand in 1977.
On 17th November 1980, while in Kinloss, Noel was the pilot of a Nimrod aircraft when it was involved in an accident, resulting in the total destruction of the aircraft, and the escape without serious injury of 18 of those aboard, but at the cost of his own life and that of his co-pilot Stephen Belcher.
It was Warrant Officer Paul Dowdle, who bought Noel Anthony to my attention.
I was fortunate to do an exchange posting to RAF Kinloss in 1992 and that’s when I joined the dots with Noel and the Rosewood connection. I actually met some of the survivors from the crash who were still serving and they all spoke of Noel in such glowing terms.
Noel is a true example of heroism and his actions and skill as a pilot saved 18 lives in the fateful accident he was involved in. For his bravery and flying skill he was posthumously awarded an Air Force Cross by the Queen in 1982. Noel is about as close as you can come to being a hero and his story is largely untold in Rosewood. – Paul Dowdle.
Read Noel’s citation here. Honours and Awards The London Gazette 8th June 1982
There is a memorial to Noel and his co-pilot Stephen Belcher at an aviation museum “Morayvia” nearby to the Kinloss Barracks. Paul Dowdle kindly provided me with some photos of one of his visits to the memorial.

RSL
A sub-branch of the Returned Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Imperial League (R.S.S.A.I.L.A.) was formed in Rosewood on the night of 30th January 1920, at a meeting of returned soldiers in the Shire Hall. In 1965, the RSSAILA’s name was changed to the Returned Services League of Australia (RSLA). In 1990, the name was changed to the Returned & Services League of Australia (RSL).
On 23rd February 1938, a women’s auxiliary of the Rosewood sub branch of the R.S.S.A.I.L.A. was formed. Mrs. J. B. Sloane was president, Mrs N. Coote was secretary, and Mrs. E. J. Battle was treasurer. Mr. J. B. Sloane (President of the League sub-branch) expressed pleasure at the ladies’ splendid response to the invitation and said the branch would welcome their help if an auxiliary corps could be formed. At the request of the President, Mr. E. J. Battle outlined the work of the League generally, and especially referred to the establishment of the Memorial Home at Montrose for “burnt out” Diggers. Rosewood sub-branch’s minimum quota to the estimated cost of maintaining the home was £10, and they needed the assistance of the ladies in raising those funds, or more, if they wished to be on a par with towns of similar size.

Queensland Invalids. Return of 41. Enthusiastic Welcome.
The return to Brisbane on Saturday night of forty-one Queensland invalids from South Africa occasioned tremendous enthusiasm in Brisbane. The welcome given to the first invalids to return will not for many a day be forgotten, and to that occasion an important page of Queensland history will be devoted. It will be a page luminous, not only with deeds of heroism, but bright also with the ready recognition by a grateful people of the practical patriotism of the war broken soldiers, who had borne wounds, suffered disease-aye, and faced even death itself-uncomplainingly, for their country’s sake. It was meant that thus we should welcome to Queensland the first to return from the struggle in which this country has figured so prominently and so nobly. Since that time our heroes have been coming home in units and in twos and threes, and if the welcoming crowd has diminished in numbers, this circumstance must not be ascribed to lack of appreciation. It is looked upon as a matter of course that our men should bear themselves bravely: and everybody knows that all over the Empire the term Queenslander is synonymous with hero. But complacent satisfaction with the fulfilment of popular expectations blazed out on Saturday night into intense enthusiasm. The return of forty-one brave soldiers demanded a demonstration of a character extraordinary.
WELCOMED BY THE WAY.
At every stopping place on route to Brisbane the invalids were heartily cheered. At Toowoomba, where the train (from Sydney) opportunely arrived at dinner time, the Mayor, aldermen, and a large crowd of prominent citizens assembled on the platform, and the soldiers were entertained at dinner, where his worship presided, and in graceful terms welcomed home the invalids. At Gatton and Laidley a considerable proportion of the population turned out to do honour to those to whom it was due. These two townships had a special interest in the occasion, as two of the soldiers — Privates Pitt and Fielding belonged to the district. At Ipswich, too, the platform was crowded, and as the train steamed in enthusiastic cheers were given for the brave follows. A number of relatives impatient again to behold those whose fortunes they had watched with interest and with suspense, journeyed up the line, and the greetings of long parted dear ones were pathetic yet withal joyful. At Toowoomba Sergeant-Major Walker, of the Army Medical Corps, met the invalids, who were very grateful for his attention to their comfort during the wearying train journey. With one exception, the condition of the troops will be all right after a night’s rest. At Rosewood Sergeant-Major Church boarded the train and conveyed to the men instructions from headquarters. The whole of the troops came on to Brisbane. They were in a cheerful mood, and with joke and song made the long journey light.The soldiers are of a particularly fine stamp, heroes of that splendid physique which appeals so powerfully to the popular mind — men who who yet young in life have many times been face to face with death, and have learned not to fear his grim visage. Some cheering took place at the Roma street station, where a number of persons congregated to welcome the men. But
AT THE CENTRAL STATION the scene was one that will live long in the memory of beholders. As the train emerged from the tunnel those aboard heard the hoarse cheering from thousands of throats. As early as 10 o’clock people began to wind their way to the Central railway station, and by half-past 10 o’clock there were several thousand present. The carriage way to the station was crammed, and hundreds of people assembled on the Edward street over bridge and the stops leading to the platform, and the platforms on each side of the line were crowded. The lower end of the Sandgate platform was roped off, and relatives and persons provided with complimentary tickets were allowed inside the ropes. The Headquarters Band took up a position within the enclosure, and pending the arrival of the train played several selections. The mail train was more than an hour late, but this had not the effect of decreasing the size of the crowd. Among those present were Lieutenant-colonel J. Flewell Smith, Lieutenant-colonel Irving, P.V.O., Lieutenant-colonel Dr. Thomson, P.M.O., Captain Fraser, Captain Hesketh, Mr. J. H. Forrest, and Police Inspectors Douglas and White. Subinspector Maloney had charge of a detachment of police, who were assisted in the maintenance of order by a detachment of men from the Queensland Regiment of the Royal Australian Artillery. The arrival of the train was greeted with mighty cheers, and as these died away the strains of tho memory-rousing melody “Home, Sweet Home,” were heard. Singularly impressive was the scene. The electric lights of the station throw a glare on a crowd such as in Brisbane is seen but seldom. At every point of vantage human figures could be seen. Flushed and excited faces looked down from the giddy heights of ladders and scaffolding placed there for the use of the builders of the new station. Every space was filled. Every foothold, safe or unsafe, high or low, was utilised. And the cheering spoke eloquently of the enthusiastic toolings of the multitude. Mr. J. H. Forrest, who had charge of the arrangements of welcome, had wisely planned that the reception should not, on Saturday night, include anything in the way of toast-drinking, and most of the men were driven to different hotels in the city, while those whose friends reside in Brisbane were conveyed to their homes, where doubtless they fought their battles o’er again to approving relatives. As the different cabs moved from the station great cheers rent the air, and a large proportion of the crowd, anxious to lose nothing, followed the conveyances for a considerable distance, cheering en route.
WEIRD STORY.
Sergeant-major Prince was interviewed in the train between Ipswich and Brisbane. He had a weird story to tell of the ravages of disease in South Africa. The mortality was fearful, and, as a rule, death came with awful suddenness.”While lying in your bunk,” he said, ” you might be talking to the man lying near you. After a time he will not answer. You turn and look at him, and find him dead.” Each day scores of soldiers are buried, by far the most part being enteric patients. The bigger the man, the bigger seem his chances of death. A great son of Ansk would be brought into the hospital in a morning, his white face bearing a brave but pathetic smile. In the evening of the same day he would be under the sod. The cold cable flashes home “No.__ died enteric.” The disease is dreaded by men who laugh at wounds and whose trade is to die.” Not that they consider the chances of death; but they hate with all a soldier’s hatred the irksomeness of lying abed while the fighting is going on. South African doctors counsel a man who has suffered from enteric fever to do no work for six months after recovery from a severe attack. And every soldier who contracts the disease knows that for him there is to be no more fighting. The Queenslanders are loud in their appreciation of the manner in which they have been treated in all the Australian ports en route to Brisbane. Twelve of the invalids arrived in the steamer Persic, and the remainder in the Aberdeen. One of the men, Gunner Mungall, was too ill to proceed further than Sydney. He is suffering from measles and is a hospital inmate.
NAMES OF THE INVALIDS
Tho following is a list of the names of all the invalids who returned on Saturday night: Sergeant-major Price, Sergeant N. F. Walker, Sergeant George Harris, Corporal J. Conley, Corporal A. Kidd, Corporal J. E. N. Bull, and Privates G. Michael, M. de Verdon, J. M ‘Donald, R. M’Kenzie, H. Washbourne, P. J. Kavanagh, W. H. Stewart, J. Greyson, J. Cathcart, A. W. Dodd, R. F. Thomas, W. Rossiter, J. H. Hitchcock, W. Cammach, G. J. Iszlaub, R. S. Pitt, E. V. Fielding, R. Smith, J. Banks, P. Riddell, J. Ross, T. R. Maxwell, J. Locke, M. Egan, H. M’Neven, D. M’lntosh, J. J. Dodson, G. Waterton, H. G. Fordham, O. H. Phillips, W. Evans, A. Wagner, B. Greenwell, T. Cobon, and W. A. M’Leish.
On Monday 20th August about 160 people assembled on board the Government steam yacht Lucinda to take part in the river outing organised by Mr. J. H. Forrest, as a welcome to the invalided Queensland soldiers who returned to Brisbane on Saturday night.
All of the recently arrived men were present, and in addition were Sergeant-major Simpson, Gunner Williams, and Privates Rose, Strong, and Johnson, who had returned not long before. The Lucinda was gaily decked with flags and the Royal Artillery Band on board played enlivening selections which attracted a good deal of attention as she steamed down the river. Passing the gunboats Gayundah and Karrakatta, there was the customary saluting of flags, and at the Queensland Meat Export and Agency Company’s works the hands assembled on the wharf and gave hearty cheers. A run was made as far as Lytton, where the anchor was lowered and luncheon was served.
When asked about being in action, it was stated that one of the best days the Queenslanders had was at “the Waterworks.” There they fought the enemy all day, while being shelled with one of the British guns captured a few days before. “Our great want was horses,” said a strong and stoutly built Rockhampton private. “I knocked up 12 myself, and at the end was riding a Basuto pony, which I valued at as much as £100.”
All of the men declared they were sorry they had to come back. Many of them were emphatic in saying they were very fit to report for duty but the doctors would not let them go to the front.
That night, the Theatre Royal in Brisbane was packed to capacity when the soldiers were the guests of the management. The theatre was decorated with flags, and the returned soldiers, almost all of whom were present, occupied reserved seats in the dress circle, and were received heartily by the audience as they arrived in batches.
List of ANZAC Heroes
ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. On the 25th of April 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula. These soldiers became known as Anzacs.
