The Battle of Graspan

Midshipman Cymberline Alonso Edric Huddart 

[From: Sydney Mail, 13 January 1900, p. 89.]

During the Battle of Graspan, the first Australian to fall in the Boer War was Midshipman Cymberline Alonso Edric Huddart.  

Born in 1881, the son of James Huddart, of Eastbourne. The family moved to Ballarat. From here in 1895, at the age of 14, Huddart entered service with the Royal Navy and entered the "Britannia". During training he was selected as one of the two Chief Captains of Cadets. Huddart did very well during his training and his seniority was such that on passing out in June 1897, he joined the "St. George” on the Cape Station as midshipman.

Huddart remained on the "St. George” until the return to Britain  at the conclusion of Admiral Rawson’s tour of the Cape. When in Britain, Huddart was transferred to the "Doris".

At the outbreak of the Boer War and the resulting siege at Kimberly, a naval brigade commanded by Captain Prothero was formed as part of the Kimberley Relief Force. Huddart was selected as Prothero's acting Aide de Camp. 

At Graspan, according to the despatch of  Lieutenant General Lord Methuen, 26 November 1899, Huddart is stated to have

"behaved magnificently and still advanced aftet he had been twice wounded, until he was finally struck down mortally wounded."

The wounds he received that day at Graspan, 25 November 1899 proved to be mortal and died the same night at the Enslin hospital. The following day, Huddart was buried close to the hospital.

The events and circumstances surrounding his death was of such interest that even Queen Victoria ordered a copy of Huddart's picture with details of his service and his last hours. At the end of the war, Huddart was one of six Boer War recipients of the Conspicuous Service Cross, receiving that award posthumously on 2 July 1901.

Diaries of AIF Servicemen

Bert Schramm

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.

Merivale Street

Queensland, 24 March 1919

Merivale Street, a violent clash fought on 24 March 1919 between police and returned AIF soldiers in South Brisbane, Queensland, was the most serious of the so-called 'Red Flag Riots'. The previous afternoon some 400 leftists had staged a peaceful march to protest the continued enforcement of restrictions under the War Precautions Act. Nearly all those involved had carried red flags in defiance of the law, provoking several minor scuffles with returned men. Alarmed by this demonstration, a large crowd of mainly ex-soldiers (some in uniform) broke up the usual Sunday evening gathering of radicals at North Quay before setting off at 7.30 p.m. for the Russian Hall in Merivale Street - the base of the Russian Workers' Association. When the mob approached, three shots were fired from the building before the police arrived and forced the crowd to disperse.

Enraged by the resistance shown by the `Bolsheviks', and incited by unknown agitators, the next night another crowd estimated to number up to 8,000 again marched on Merivale Street. This time, however, the hall was cordoned off by 40 police armed with rifles and bayonets, personally directed by the police commissioner, Frederick Urquhart. In the ensuing clash over 100 men received bayonet wounds, including Urquhart himself who was stabbed in the shoulder when forced backwards onto the bayonet of one of his own men. Fourteen policemen were hurt - two receiving bullet wounds (including a mounted trooper shot twice in the back) - and three police horses were shot, one of these being killed. Nineteen of the injured were serious enough to require their removal in ambulances.

Advertisement of the meeting for Friday, 28 March 1919.

[Brisbane Courier, 27 March 1919, p. 2.]

In anticipation of further trouble, the next day the state government ordered the closure of all city hotels. Another meeting of returned soldiers that night attracted an attendance of over 12,000, after which several hundred men smashed the office windows of the Daily Standard newspaper which had criticised them. A meeting the next night drew 7,000 but was free from further violence, enabling a return to normal by 28 March.

The Casualties:

THE COMMISIONER OF POLICE (MR. URQUHART).

Severe bayonet wound in the the shoulder. First aid treatment was rendered at the Mater Misericordiae Public Hospital, and he returned to the scene of the disturbance. Subsequently it was found that the wound required further attention, and he was returned to a private hospital.
