During part of the course of his military service with the AIF, 2823 Private Herbert Leslie Schramm, a farmer from White's River, near Tumby Bay on the Eyre Peninsular, 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 1918 breakout 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.

Due to the time zone differences, the declaration of war by Britain against Germany, while officially recorded as 4 August 1914, in terms of Australia, did not happen until Wednesday, 5 August 1915. For the The Toowoomba Chronicle, this happened on Wednesday, 5 August 1915.

Apart from being a major regional agricultural centre, the Toowoomba region supported extensive military training facilities. The Militia formations throughout the region included: Toowoomba, 11th Australian Infantry Regiment,  Headquarters and "A" Company (part); Toowoomba, 3rd Australian Light Horse Regiment,  Headquarters,  Machine Gun Section,  and "A" Squadron (part); Darling Downs Rifle Club; Oakey Rifle Club; Gatton, 11th Australian Infantry Regiment,  "D" Company (part); Gatton, Qld: 2nd Australian Light Horse Regiment,  "C" Squadron (part); Gatton Rifle Club; Laidley, 11th Australian Infantry Regiment,  "D" Company (part); Laidley, Qld: 2nd Australian Light Horse Regiment,  "C" Squadron (part); Laidley Rifle Club; Clifton, 39th Australian Infantry Regiment,  "D" Company (part); Clifton, 3rd Australian Light Horse Regiment,  "C" Squadron (part); Clifton Rifle Club; Allora, 11th Australian Infantry Regiment,  "B" Company (part); Allora, 3rd Australian Light Horse Regiment,  "B" Squadron (part); Allora Rifle Club; Dalby, 11th Australian Infantry Regiment,  "A" Company (part); Dalby Rifle Club; and, Crow's Nest Rifle Club.

Toowoomba was a regional centre which boasted of a daily newspaper  called The Toowoomba Chronicle which was priced at 1d [1 pence or in 2008 AUD, $1.70] per edition. The newspaper was circulated around the Toowoomba region including the locations and towns of Toowoomba, Oakey, Goombungee, Grapetree, Gatton, Laidly, Clifton, Allora, Millmerran, Dalby, and Crows Nest.

The area around the Toowoomba region is composed mainly of undulating pastures puctuated by stunning mountain ranges. The region presents a diverse landscape of agriculture mixed with wilderness. Toowoomba was the primary city in the region offering key services to sheep grazing activities and farming. The following two pages are indicative of the life experienced in the Toowoomba region when the Great War was declared.

The history revealed by a newspaper

A newspaper is a historical snapshot of a particular area on the day the newspaper was published. They contain a wealth of information which can be extracted and used according to the individual taste. The above extracts give an example of the depth of information contained within a simple rural newspaper. Every story contains many more stories, each layered upon each other like onion peels. As one peels away one skin, more appear to reveal a vibrant community brimming with history.
