March 7, 1919 A private cable message announces the death in Paris of Madame BUCHARD, wife of Admiral Henry BUCHARD, who a few years ago commanded the French Squadron in the Pacific. Deceased was a Victorian, the only daughter of Mrs Hector WILSON (formally of "Vectis" Station, and now resident in Paris), who is a sister of Mr Pierre BELLEW, of Melbourne. Private Jack WHITTINGHAM arrived at Edenhope Friday night, 21st Feb., and although it was after midnight when he reached his home (having come home from Goroke after the arrival of the train) a large crowd assembled and gave him a right royal reception. Private WHITTINGHAM has nearly four years service to his credit, and although he looks well, his left arm has been very severely injured. The Soldier's Welcome Home committee will tender Private WHITTINGHAM a social a little later on. Several other Edenhope men are expected within the next few weeks. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/
March 7, 1919 Before leaving Natimuk Mr G. ANTONY handed the books in connection with the hospital Sunday effort to Mr J. CROSS, who, now that the influenza embargo has been lifted, has convened a meeting for Monday evening next to make arrangements for the annual Sunday celebration in aid of the hospital. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance. Private Norman McDONALD, of Edenhope, who was attached to the Flying Corps, in Mesopotamia, whose brother John was killed at the war, and Private J.D. SCHUMANN, who has seen three years of service, returned by Tuesdays train. Daryl Crabtree Gladstone Qld www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/goroke/
March 7 1919 Mr D.J. CRABTREE jnr, of Booroopki was on Tuesday last successfully operated on for appendicitis in the Horsham hospital. Mr Les GEORGE, of Quantong, who has been away for three years as a munition worker, returned to this district last week. Mr George BAILEY, an old resident of Goroke, whose health would not permit of him continuing an active life, and who has handed his property over to his son, proposes to live at Portland for a while.

Hi Daryl, As far as I can remember, the Hamilton Historical Society homepage contained pretty well the same information as parts of the South West Victoria's War Heritage site (at least as far as Hamilton interests lay) - not sure. Check their new site - http://home.vicnet.net.au/~hamhist - and you can email them from there if needs be.

The Sandford War Memorial (near Casterton, south-west Victoria) has been refurbished and will be reconsecrated in a ceremony at 1:30pm, Saturday, 8th November, 2003. Afternoon tea will then be provided by the Sandford Hall Committee. It is hoped that relatives of the servicemen whose names are on the memorial will be able to attend. A list of names from both WW1 & WW2 listed on the Sandford Memorial can be viewed on the web at: http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/sandford/ Regards Daryl Povey http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/digby/

Joan Beaumont Dean of Arts Deakin University Dear Joan It is with regret that we received the news listed in the email below of the decommissioning of the South West Victoria's War History web site which was hosted by your faculty. I received this notification after enquiring to the IT Manager regarding its non-functioning for a number of weeks. We would be very interested to know the reasons for the loss of this valuable local history information site for south western Victoria. Is the information lost or is it being transferred to some other body to host in the future? I write a number of web sites related to south west history, eg Ballarat Genealogical Society http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/ South West Victorian History http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au/digby/ which illustrate my interest and involvement in the area of local history in south west Victoria. It is to be hoped that a Faculty of Arts at a local University would be interested in promoting the study of local history through the hosting of such web sites. I have left the correspondence relating to this issue attached to the bottom of this email.
