Book excerpt: First, I'd like to acknowledge the Gunditjmara people as the traditional owners of the lands on which The Hamilton and Alexandra College sits today.Second, it is a great pleasure to write an introduction to Mr Neil MacLean's comprehensive history of our school. The Hamilton and Alexandra College has been fortunate to have a chronicler blessed with a sympathetic eye for the detail of historical events as well as the great sweep of themes writ large. We are blessed to have our story told by Neil, an inspiring schoolteacher whose commitment and dedication to College over forty-three years was loyalty personified.The contribution that the College continues to make to the Greater Hamilton community and Western District of Victoria is a great source of pride and I am confident that, as we celebrate our sesquicentennial year, the College will continue to be a force for good in our society.I trust you will enjoy reading and learning of the figures and events that have formed the basis for College's distinguished and ever-changing story over the past one hundred and fifty years.

Download or read book Fatal Charge at Gallipoli written by John Hamilton and published by Frontline Books. This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armed only with rifles, bayonets and raw courage, the men of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade left the shelter of their rocky trenches to storm The Nek, a narrow stretch of ridge held by the Ottoman Turks. The first wave of attackers were cut down almost as soon as they stood up. Those that followed knew they were going to die. Yet they too charged without question, stumbling over the bodies of their fallen comrades before they also fell.??The commander of the 10th Light Horse Regiment attempted to have the third wave cancelled, claiming that 'the whole thing was nothing but bloody murder', but he could not convince the Brigade Major.??Using the letters and diaries of those who fought and died in this famously futile action, award-winning journalist and best-selling author, John Hamilton takes the reader on a journey from the rush to recruit in August 1914 when war was declared, through the training camps to the unforgiving terrain of Gallipoli and the unbending Turkish defenders, and finally to that fateful morning and that fatal charge.??Part of a trilogy by John Hamilton, this title was first published in 2004 by Pan Macmillan Australia, only being sold in the Australian and New Zealand markets, under the title Goodbye Cobber, God Bless You: The Fatal Charge of the Light Horse, Gallipoli, August 7th, 1915.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 7th 1915, men of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade staged one of the most tragic, brave and futile charges of the First World War. Seeking to break out of the Anzac position at Gallipoli they attempted to storm an extraordinarily strong Turkish position, defended by artillery, machineguns and thousands of men, using nothing but fixed bayonets and raw courage. The first wave of Light Horsemen were killed within seconds of leaving their trench, yet over the course of the next few minutes, three more lines went over the top, across the bodies of their dead and dying comrades, only to be instantly cut down themselves. All of them knew they were about to die. None held back. It was a massacre immortalised in Peter Weir's film, Gallipoli. Just before the order was given to send the third line, Trooper Harold Rush turned to his mate standing next to him and said 'Goodbye cobber. God bless you'. These words appear on his headstone, in the little cemetery near the scene of the charge. John Hamilton's book follows the men who fought and died in this action from the recruiting frenzy of August 1914, to their training camps, to Egypt, to the peninsula itself, to that fatal morning. It is a work of meticulous research and detail, which puts flesh on the bones of long dead men and boys. We see through their eyes the excitement, fear and horror of a generation encountering the carnage of modern war for the first time. Goodbye Cobber, God Bless You is compelling, personal and painfully moving.
