"At a mile distant their thousand hooves were stuttering thunder, coming at a rate that frightened a man - they were an awe inspiring sight, galloping through the red haze - knee to knee and horse to horse - the dying sun glinting on bayonet points..." Trooper Ion Idriess

Beveridge Letter, 21 October 1915

 

Beveridge Post Card from Gallipoli, 21 October 1915

 

Here are the contents from the Post Card.

 

Gallipoli 21st Oct 1915

Your last letter dated May 29th 1915

Dear Lois,

Many thanks for your two letters yesterday. I also received one from you about ten days before that have received about a sozen letters during the last ten days all from you, Blairgowrie & K. Consider I'm doing well, hope it continues, I am keeping well + getting along nicely. Hope the two children are well. Give them both a kiss for me. Suppose the boy can nearly crawl now. Owen is still in Egypt I think. When he comes over he will very likely be pretty near me. Saw him in Egypt several times. I think I told you or perhaps it was mother. Love from your loving brother,

Alwynne.

 

This post card was discovered as presented below without any furhter detail.

Tracking down the author required a bit of detective work as is required on all disparate pieces of evidence. The only identifying information on the post card was that on the post card - Alwynne, the brother of Mrs Hogg of Epping. He was at Gallipoli and a person Owen is also mentioned.

Through research, it is now possible to put a name to the author of the post card letter. The man has been identified as 842 Private Alwynne Steel BEVERIDGE, a 25 year old Grazier from Epping, New South Wales. He enlisted on 13 April 1915 and was allotted to the 12th Australian Light Horse Regiment, AIF, 2nd Reinforcements, embarked from Sydney, New South Wales on board HMAT A51 Chilka 7 June 1915; and at the conclusion of the war Returned to Australia, 20 July 1919.

The Postcard was sent on the day he arrived at Gallipoli. Lois is Mrs Lois Hogg whose husband Herbert had a brother Owen Stanley Byames Hogg who was a Captain and a dentist and remained in Cairo with that unit.

The following entries are extracted and transcribed from the 9th Light Horse Regiment War Diary, the originals of which are held by the Australian War Memorial. There are 366 entries on this site. Each day has entries as they occurred from 1914 to 1919. In addition to the 9th Light Horse Regiment War Diary, when appropriate, entries from the 3rd Light Horse Brigade War Diary and other regiments with the Brigade will also appear. Entries from the unit history, Darley, TH, With the Ninth Light Horse in the Great War, Adelaide, Hassell Press, 1924 will also appear from time to time. The aim is to give the broadest context to the story and allow the reader to follow the day to day activities of the regiment. If a relative happened to have served in the regiment during the Great War, then this provides a general framework in which the individual story may be told.

Bert Schramm

 

2823 Private Herbert Leslie SCHRAMM, a 22 year old Farmer from Whites River, South Australia. He enlisted on 17 February 1916; and at the conclusion of the war Returned to Australia, 10 July 1919.

During part of the course of his military service with the AIF, Bert Schramm kept a diary of his life. Bert was not a man of letters so this diary was produced with great effort on his behalf. Bert made a promise to his sweetheart, Lucy Solley, that he would do so after he received the blank pocket notebook wherein these entries are found. As a Brigade Scout since September 1918, he took a lead part in the September Offensive by the Allied forces in Palestine. Bert's diary entries are placed alongside those of the 9th Light Horse Regiment to which he belonged and to the 3rd Light Horse Brigade to which the 9th LHR was attached. On this basis we can follow Bert in the context of his formation.
