Profile They were all young men. Around one quarter were born in England. At least half were married. They mainly served in the army as privates. Most attended public (government) schools. They all came from Tea Tree Gully and surrounding districts. Teachers note: Whilst this sample of Tea Tree Gully soldiers is too small to draw conclusions it does provide some useful insights for students. It is worth noting that around 30% of the original Anzacs were born in Great Britain. Whilst single men were initially preferred as recruits, many soldiers, who served overseas during World War I, were married. Most of those who served in World War I were privates. This is the lowest rank in the army and therefore represented the largest number of soldiers who lost their lives. The level of education of these men reflects contemporary standards with most having only attended primary school. The entry standards for age for World War I recruits were 18-35 in August 1914 and these were changed to 18-45 in April 1917. The average age of 28 is therefore probably close to the mean age of World War I recruits. This small group does provide some basic clues as to the types of men who enlisted throughout Australia during World War I. (12) With what business, that is still operating just west of the Tea Tree Gully War Memorial, do you think Edward Lawrence Angove was associated? Hint: Look at the occupation on the Roll of Honour record. Angoves Winery – He was Vigneron according to his “Roll of Honour” record. Teachers note: This information appears on his Roll of Honour details. Students may guess this from knowing the name and location of Angove’s winery. He was skilled winemaker who was being groomed to take over the Angove family winery. (13) Complete the table below about three of the Tea Tree Gully soldiers whose names you recorded in Question (6) and who lost their lives during World War II. By accessing the Australian War Memorial website at www.awm.gov.au > Biographical Databases > Roll of Honour Enter each soldier’s surname, select ‘Second World War 1939 –1945’ and then ‘click’ on search. The details you require will appear in the Circular Information, which forms part of the “Roll of Honour” records. Once the table is completed summarise the information to build a profile of the soldiers from the Tea Tree Gully area who lost their lives during World War II. 43

They were all born in the Tea Tree Gully/Adelaide area. Two out of three were married. They lost their lives in North Africa (1) and New Guinea (2) They died between the years 1941 – 43. Teachers note: Whilst this is too small a group to draw conclusions it is the case that most men serving in the Australian Army during World War II were relatively young with an average age of 26. This is approximately the average age of the three soldiers from Tea Tree Gully. Australian soldiers served in two major theatres during World War II, namely the Middle East which included North Africa from 1940 –1942 and the South West Pacific which included New Guinea from 1941 – 1945. The soldiers from Tea Tree Gully were involved in some of the pivotal campaigns in these two major theatres. In fact the locations of the deaths of these men correlates with some of the hardest fought and best known battles in Australian military history. Their involvement illustrates to students the local contribution and impact on small communities of these major battles and campaigns during World War II. (14) Summarise the World War II battles or campaigns in which these three servicemen lost their lives by searching the internet under the words “Rats of Tobruk” for L.J Dillon, Kokoda Track or Trail for P.F Newman and Finschhafen or Huon Peninsula for J.R Tregeagle. Leslie James Dillon was a “Rat of Tobruk’ and lost his life during the famous siege of the Libyan port which lasted from May to December 1941. 44
