When in 1914 what came to be called the Great War broke out, men of our families, mine and Greg’s, enlisted and fought for their country. This happened again in the war that followed the war to end all wars.

Taken together their determination to serve had a measurable affect on the shape of the conflict and its outcome, of course, but in each case their personal decision also had deep private consequences for their friends and family. Mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, children, girlfriends, mates, and acquaintances all became willing or unwilling partners in a man’s choice to join up, and one way or another they all suffered for it.

At the very least the father, son, husband, brother, or friend was taken from their lives for a long time, and it very soon became clear that the person finally returned to them, if he returned, might now be a sad maimed and crippled shell of the young man who had gone away.

Both Greg’s grandfathers fought in WWI. Both were wounded and returned to ordinary life more or less incapacitated, a burden to themselves and their families. Greg’s paternal grandfather Cecil lost a brother, a half-brother, and a cousin. His maternal grandfather Arthur Sullivan came back wounded and ‘shell-shocked’, to use the euphemism of the day.

Greg’s father signed on in WW2 and was sent to New Guinea. He didn’t like to talk about it.

All four of my great grandfathers fought in WWI. All were wounded or became ill. Both my grandfathers fought in WW2.

WW1 and 2 participation our family

Family tree chart showing the men of our family who fought in WW1: all eligible men of our family in that generation fought and all of them were wounded or ill as a result. Men highlighted in grey: Peter, Geoff and Hans fought in WW2.

Greg’s paternal grandfather Cecil Young (1898 – 1975) fought along with the following relatives.

  • John Percy Young 1896 – 1918 brother
  • George Edward Tunks 1894 – 1983 cousin
  • Leslie Charles Fish 1895 – 1988 cousin
  • William Alfred Fish 1890 – 1917 cousin
  • Leslie Leister 1894 – 1916 half-brother
  • Ernest James Young 1878 – 1942 uncle

Greg’s grandmother Elizabeth Cross had two brothers and a cousin fighting.

  • Frederick Beswick Cross 1893 – 1959 brother
  • George Murray Cross 1890 – 1962 brother
  • William Stanley Plowright 1893 – 1917 cousin

Greg’s maternal grandfather, Arthur Sullivan (1891 – 1975) fought. Also fighting were a brother and brother-in-law.

  • Henry Sullivan 1894 – 1969 brother
  • Edward Blakeley Clark 1879 – 1947 brother-in-law

The brothers of Greg’s maternal grandmother, Stella Esther Gilbart Sullivan née Dawson (1894 – 1975) were all too young to enlist and her sisters did not marry until after the war. Her husband fought. An uncle was killed in action and a cousin of her mother’s also fought.

  • Stanley Gilbart Edwards 1889 – 1917 uncle
  • Francis Walter Roy Rawe 1889 – 1969 cousin of mother

On my side of the family my father’s paternal grandfather, Constantine Trent Champion de Crespigny (1882 – 1952), fought as did three of his brothers, one of whom was killed. There were also several maternal cousins who fought, however because his mother had died when he was young, I am not sure that he would have known these cousins well.

  • Francis George Travers Champion_de_Crespigny 1892 – 1968 brother
  • Hugh Vivian Champion_de_Crespigny 1897 – 1969 brother
  • Philip Champion_de_Crespigny 1879 – 1918 brother
  • Arthur Philip Chauncy 1897 – 1954 cousin
  • Auschar Philip Lamothe Chauncy 1888 – 1937 cousin
  • Clement Lamothe Chauncy 1893 – 1917 cousin

My father’s paternal grandmother was Beatrix de Crespigny née Hughes. Her husband fought as did two of her brothers; the other brother had been rejected on medical grounds. One brother was killed. One of her cousins also died. Two cousins of her father’s also fought.

  • Cedric Stuart Castlereagh Hughes 1893 – 1953 brother
  • Vyvyan Westbury Hughes 1888 – 1916 brother
  • Selwyn Goldstein 1873 – 1917 cousin
  • Cyril Hughes 1875 – 1916 cousin of father
  • Harry Wynne Hughes 1870 – 1945 cousin of father

My father’s maternal grandfather, Arthur Murray Cudmore (1870 -1951) fought. He had quite a few cousins and a nephew fighting.

  • Arthur Sexton Cudmore 1897 – 1972 cousin
  • Collier Robert Cudmore 1885 – 1971 cousin
  • Ernest Osmond Cudmore 1894 – 1924 cousin
  • Francis Alexander Cudmore 1892 – 1956 cousin
  • John Cudmore Sprod 1879 – 1923 cousin
  • Milo Massey Cudmore 1888 – 1916 cousin
  • Frederick Cudmore Andrews 1895 – 1975 nephew

My father’s maternal grandmother was Kathleen Cudmore formerly Cavenagh-Mainwaring née Cavenagh. Her husband fought as did two of her brothers; the other brother was rejected. Her brothers-in-law also fought.

  • James Gordon Cavenagh-Mainwaring 1865 – 1938 brother
  • Wentworth Rowland Cavenagh-Mainwaring 1869 – 1933 brother
  • Owen Francis Gillett 1863 – 1938 brother-in-law
  • Thompson Horatio Millett 1870 – 1920 brother-in-law
  • William Edward Blackwood Magee 1886 – 1981 brother-in-law

Both of my mother’s grandfathers served in the German army and were wounded.

  • Fritz Hermann Boltz 1879 – 1954
  • Emil Wilhelm Manock 1883 – 1966

101 years after the armistice was signed on 11 November 1918 we remember those who fought and those who died in the war.

With next Sunday Armistice Day it seems appropriate to recall that today is the hundredth anniversary of the death of one of our family’s WW1 soldiers, Jack Young, brother of my husband’s grandfather.

Jack – John Percival Young – enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces on 6 October 1916. On 25 August 1918, while serving with HQ 10th Brigade – taking part in the so-called Hundred Days Offensive, the Allied attacks that brought the war to an end – he was wounded in a mustard gas attack and was admitted to a Line of Communications hospital. Three days later he was invalided to England, sent to Beaufort Hospital near Bristol.

He was discharged from Beaufort after a month, but within a few weeks he was back in hospital, the 3rd Auxiliary Hospital Dartford.

On 9 November 1918, two days before the war ended, Jack died of influenza and pneumonia. He is buried at Brookwood Military Cemetery.

Remembering Cecil Young and all the men who served in World War 1 including those who didn’t survive.

Cecil was only 17 1/2 when he enlisted.

Cecil (1898-1975) was my husband Greg’s grandfather

Anne's Family History

Cecil was the grandson of one of the earlier miners of the Avoca district.  He served in World War 1.

George Young, a miner, had arrived at the Lamplough Rush near Avoca in about 1859 with a wife and two young children.  A third child had been born and died at Beechworth.  John had been born in 1856 at Dunolly and Alice in January 1859 at White Hills near Maryborough.  Twins Charlotte and Harriet were born in July 1861 at Lamplough. Although the rush was moving on, perhaps the burden of four young children including new born twins persuaded George and his wife Caroline to settle.  George took up a small portion of land and continued to mine at Lamplough.  He and his wife had thirteen children.  She died in 1879 at the age of 43 leaving 8 children, the two youngest being one and three years old.  It…

Remembering my grandfather at Tobruk

Yesterday my daughter gave me a coin commemorating Australia’s role in withstanding the siege of Tobruk. I have previously written about Richard Geoffrey Champion de Crespigny known as Geoff de Crespigny (1907 – 1966), my grandfather, who served in the Australian Army as a doctor and was at Tobruk, during the North African campaign, from January to October 1941.

His diaries from the time he was in Tobruk have been transcribed by my father. Entries from May 1941 are from a period when my grandfather was supervising evacuation of the wounded by sea.

16 May
Went to the hospital for supplies and to HQ to see Cookie.1Also had a hair-cut – long overdue. Later wrote to Kathleen, and went in again to arrange for embarkation tonight on a destroyer.
At 7, Jerry dropped bombs from an unprecedented height close to the San Marco water point. It seems to be our water he is trying for these days.2We drove down just before dark, and quite by accident were made aware of a huge crater in the road made by one of the latest bombs and which would have been a death trap to our first ambulance. The Vampire was delayed3– but berthed at 1 in the morning and we started. Cramming them in we got 109 stretchers and 98 walkers away. I found to my joy that Pat Reilly was the [p.91] MO. I was delighted to meet him again, and we were able to have a short yarn. She left at 3 – and after the usual signal parley we got to bed. But not undisturbed – for there were a series of lone but noisy raiders who were taken up by a long and loud artillery bombardment.
17 May (really continuing)
I seemed to get mighty little sleep. Stayed put after B in B [breakfast in bed] and got up and had a bathe about 11. After lunch went to the hospital and fixed the evening’s arrangements, and I went to HQ later. While there about 30 planes came over and dive-bombed the other side of the harbour – without doing much, and so many people said afterwards that they had shot down a plane that it became [p.92] monotonous. Some were downed, however.
News from Egypt is rather heartening now. We have retaken Salum, and there are all sorts of rumours about Capuzzo.4
Went to the docks with the failing light. The ship turned up at 10, and we had her away by 11.30. Then fixed the signal, had a liqueur[?] with a charitable soul, and returned to bed. A pretty tricky drive in very complete darkness.
18 May
Almost a blank. Didn’t go out, and neither side did any fighting.
19 May
A number of bombs dropped early this morning just “over the wall” from us.5Went over to the beach hospital and had a long yarn with Eric Cooper which ended in my staying to lunch. A jolly good lunch too! Rest of the day quiet.
[p.93]
20 May
Once again bombs “over the wall.” We hope they realise the importance of that wall as a boundary and don’t encroach on our side!
Went to embark invalids onto Vampire, which came in at 2330. Found poor Pat [Reilly] in a state, as the intelligentsia at Alex had taken off all extra RAMC [Royal Army Medical Corps: British] personnel and all equipment. We had 61 stretchers and 98 walking wounded, and it was a great squeeze and a great shame. Also we lost all the stretchers and 200 blankets and have damn few left in Tobruk now. Pat was very well, but a bit harassed. Home about 0330.

1Colonel T P Cook had been in charge of RGCdeC’s unit in Egypt, and now commanded Lines of Communication [general civilian-style administration] in Tobruk.

 

 

2On water supply, see Walker, Middle East, p.199.

 

3HMAS Vampire, an Australian ship, was one of flotilla of destroyers operating in the Mediterranean: Jane’s Fighting Ships, p.107. There were five, the Stuart, Vampire, Vendetta, Voyager and Waterhen. Built during the First World War, and transferred to the Royal Australian Navy in 1932, they were derided by German propaganda as the “Scrap Iron Flotilla,” a title later borne as proudly as that of the Rats of Tobruk. One of their main tasks at this time was to maintain the “Tobruk ferry,” which brought new troops and supplies in from Alexandria and took the sick and wounded out.
Vampire was later among the escort of the Repulse and the Prince of Wales when they were sunk by Japanese aircraft off the coast of Malaya in December 1941. In April 1942 she was escort to the light carrier HMS Hermes when they were caught by Japanese planes in the Indian Ocean near Ceylon; both ships were sunk.

 

4This was a British attempt to relive Tobruk. Fort Capuzzo was close to Salum; both places were taken, but could not be held.

 

5Since being bombed out on 19 April, RGCdeC and his colleague Saxby had camped in Snake Gully. The “wall” was presumably a ridge along the top of the gully on one side. Lieutenant-Colonel NHW Saxby, from Sydney, was DADMS in charge of local medical administration in Tobruk town. RGCdeC was initially Deputy Assistant Director of Hygiene [DADH].
