Gerald Richard Deagen, John D. Wilton, Nor

man R. Strachan, James Victor White, John

Thomas Dunn and Ralph Dean Moore were each

fined 10, in default ten days' detention at

Queenscliff for disciplinary offences.

Mr. Read Murphy: This act is the crown of

the Education Act, and is an excellent adjunct

to it. The one develops the mind and the other

the body. You lads must realise that it is for no

one's good so much as for your own.

Essendon Gazette 22 July 1915

 

Private Ralph Moore writes to his parents from Heliopolis, under date
14/6/l5, as follow:-

"We have done nothing but look at strange sights since we left Mt. Sinai, in the Red Sea. The Suez Canal is guarded night and day by British soldiers. I have been in hospital, suffering from pneumonia; but at time of writing have recovered. We only drill in the mornings and evenings here, on account of the great heat."

 

Private Moore sends a copy of the paper published on board, which contains some very interesting matter, including a message from Lieut.-Col. R. A.  Crouch, C.0., 22nd Battalion, which reads as follows:—"'The editor has asked me to write a few lines in the first issue of the "Odyssey," and I gladly accept the opportunity, as I welcome its issue as another link in unity in the good comradeship of the 22nd.  Our corps is a war corps only; and raised for a special purpose, as were the great troops of Oliver Cromwell. It is in  remembering his words that I feel our Battalion motto is incomplete. His words to his troops -the greatest  and most successful England ever raised——were: "Trust in God and keep your powder dry." This was a great lead, as no man ever made good in this life or the next unless he had the fear of God in his heart. So I add to our Battalion motto ‘Fear God only.' The Angel of the Lord encampeth around them that fear Him, and life delivereth them. And so, my soldiers and comrades, I ask you to remember that whenever we sing V.O.T.B.G., we mean ‘Fear God only, and wipe out the Germans'. With this inspiration in our hearts, and with solemn determination to do our best to  serve our God, our Country, and our Battalion, we will, whether we live or  die, succeed."


The good-bye messages from the Governor-General (Sir Ronald Munro Ferguson), and Sir John Madden are published, and as the troopship sailed through the Heads, Queenscliff signalled "Good luck; many victories, safe return." There are reports of concerts and promotions, and a deal of  information is included in the ship’s newspaper.

In Memoriam

 

MOORE.-In loving memory of our dear son and
brother, Ralph Deane, stretcher bearer, 6th Field
Ambulance, killed in action, Passchendaele, Ridge.
September 27, 1917. 
His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him, that nature might stand up,    
And say to all the world. This was a man! 
-(Inserted by mother, father, and family. Mt.
Alexander road, Moonee Ponds.)

MOORE.-In sad and loving memory of my dear
brother, Ralph Deane, stretcher-bearer, killed in
action, September,27, 1917.
What pleasant hours, we once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still:
But they have left an aching void
This world can never fill.

Ascotvale.)
