Title A name given to the resource Babington, William Charles Hume - The Life of Description An account of the resource William Charles Hume Babington was born in March 1870 in the home of his parents, Daniel and Ellen Buckley (nee Sherry) in Townsend Street, Albury. In later years William adopted his step-grandfather’s name of Babington. Babington is the name he was married under and his children were given. William’s mother, Ellen, died in childbirth in January 1874, she was 39 years old, and William was only four years old at this time. In 1882, William’s father Daniel placed his son, then aged 12, with the Culnane family at Morven. It was not unusual in those times to be sent out to work from that age. Both the Buckley and Culnane families had a lot to do with horses. It appears that William had been sent there as an apprentice, working in the stables. William’s occupation when he was older was a jockey and groom. William continued his schooling at Morven until he turned 14 years old. William rode in many local races he travelled the circuit around Victoria and in the late 1800’s he won the Mooney Valley Cup. William was a kind and compassionate man. My mother, Judy Babington, said she loved to watch her father working with horses. His gentle hands, calm manner and voice were very soothing to a nervous or sick horse. William married Mary Ann Ada Holder at Germanton (Holbrook) on 17th September 1912. William had a perfect set of teeth, though he never used a tooth brush or tooth paste. He cleaned his teeth by chewing charcoal, then rinsing his mouth with water. He did this twice a day. William was a good jockey, and like all jockey’s he had to keep his weight down. The method the jockey’s used in those early days was to make up their own sauna by piling up a huge mound of horse manure out in the hot sun. Inside its depths, the manure fermented, generating scalding heat. Riders dug holes in the surface and burrowed in, burying themselves up to the neck in the manure for extended periods. William was an asthmatic, his wife Mary, always believed it was caused by the many years of losing weight by this method. William Babington died in his home at Morven on 31st July 1930 - he was 60 years old. William’s coffin was carried from his home at Morven to the Culcairn cemetery in an open black carriage pulled by four Blood-Black Clydesdales.

Title A name given to the resource Babington, William Hume 'Bill' 1917-2013 Description An account of the resource Bill Babington and Jack Bates were great mates. They both went to the Morven Public school together and every Anzac day Jack travelled down to Culcairn to march with his old mate Bill. Jack died in 2009 at Canberra. Bill Babington fought at Tobruk and El Alamein: 'We had a thousand artillery guns firing. You couldn't hear someone talk, there was that much noise going on. There was continuous bombing and shelling' Bill Babington was a gunner and due to the amount of constant noise he lost a good deal of his hearing. "British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was not a popular man when Australian troops saw him in North Africa in 1942. They saw how Churchill walked past the diggers during his visit. Churchill marched through us and our officer said:'three cheers for Winston Churchill' and there wasn't one that said hooray". The disenchantment was based on the Australians learning of the bombing of Darwin and being more concerned about that than continuing to fight for the British Empire in North Africa. Nevertheless, the diggers went through the second battle of El Alamein in late 1942. The Second Battle of El Alamein took place over 13 days from 23 October – 4 November 1942 and the Allies' victory marked a major turning point in the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War. This second article was written for the local paper ‘The Chronicle’ also on Anzac Day in the late 1990’s. This is the Bust that was referred to in the newspaper article on Bill Babington and Jack Bates Anzac Day 2007. After Cyril Brown passed away the Bust was passed over to Bill Babington.

We were playing rugby in Morven, N.S.W. the day that war was declared, it was that same Sunday that four team mates and a spectator decided to join. Eric and Trot McKinley, Mervyn Brown, Jack Bates and myself all travelled to Albury the very next day to sign up. I told my brother Dan that he had to stay home and look after mum. We were called up to pass a medical at Caulfield, and then sent on to the Geelong Show Ground for training. As members of the artillery we had no guns to train with, only a sketch carved into the ground. After a month of training in Geelong we were granted leave to visit home. On our way home the train approached Little River, a station between Geelong and Melbourne. After stopping, the train shunted backwards and for some unknown reason Eric and Trot jumped off, expecting it to stop on it’s way back past. The train came back past the station but didn’t stop, we were about two hundred yards down the track and had two absent passengers so I jumped to my feet and pulled the chain, we came to a holt and Eric and Trot ran like hell to get back on. No questions were asked as to who stopped the train. It was a free trip from Geelong to Albury and in those days we had to change trains in N.S.W. and buy a ticket. We never bought any tickets, so when the conductor came around and asked us where we were headed, Sydney was our reply, he told us we would have to get off at the next stop, Culcairn. It was nice to be home. After going back to Geelong where we camped for three months, we were sent to Puckapunyal where we left for overseas. Although we all signed up together, we were put into different units, Eric, Trot and Mervyn went into the 6th division, Jack the 7th and I was in the 9th division. We sailed on the same boat ‘The Morotania’, on which I was sick all the way from Melbourne to Fremantle. We stayed in Fremantle for two days, and I was glad to be on dry land again, it was here that someone told me that sea sickness was mind over matter. With this in mind, we boarded the boat and I entered in a boxing tournament. I had five fights and made the final, at this point I started to think I was pretty good, although, I was obviously not as good as I thought, meeting a sailor in the final and being beaten on points. I received a swan fountain pen as the runner’s up prize, the sailor getting both a pen and pencil. My unit, the 2/12 Australian Field Regiment was the only Australian Field Artillery Regiment to serve in the siege of Tobruk. We entered Tobruk on May 17th 1941. The regiment was to arm itself with what guns could be found within the perimeter, regardless of origin or quality. My first gun was an Italian 75 mm, we had to learn all over again from degrees to millimetres, I became a gunlayer which was worth six shillings per day, opposed to five shillings. I was in Tobruk for quite some time, and one day we received some reinforcements, one of which told me that he had met my brother and he was coming to see me. This was the first I knew of Dan being in the army. I assumed that he was at home looking after mum like I told him to. But just as I had been told, Dan arrived that Sunday to tell me he was in the 23rd Battalion (Albury’s Own) . Straight away I put a claim in for Dan to join my unit, but this could not happen until we came out of action. We remained in action under siege until relieved in late September 1941, a spell at Hill 95 and then the regiment moved on to Qastina and eventually Syria, by this time my brother Dan had joined up with us. We were doing garrison duties in Lebanon and Syria when word was going around that we were going home. The Syrians seemed to know more than we did, they were crying and saying good bye, we learned later that they were right. Now we were headed back into the thick of things, in the desert the Eighth army had surrendered Tobruk to the Germans, and Rommel was driving the allied forces back towards Alexandria, Cairo and the Suex. To assist in halting the German advance, fresh units of the ninth division including the 2/12 regiment were ordered to move secretly but with great speed to EL Alamein. There were funny sides to the story though, I remember going through Cairo where paper boys conned gunners into buying ancient newspapers which looked as good as new, they got the money before you got your paper. Many little towns between Cairo and Alexandria had Nazi flags draped across the windows of houses, they thought the Germans could not be stopped. The 2/12 Field Regiment had been engaged in the EL Alamein for one hundred and twenty days, from July 9th to November 5th 1942, we had Christmas at Qastina. The 9th division had a grand parade reviewed by General Sir Harold Alexander. After more than two years in the Middle East, the 2/12 Field Regiment set sail for Australia aboard the HMTS Lie De France with three weeks home leave. In the first week of August 1943 the Regiment moved to Milne Bay where the rain seemed never ending and one month was spent practising assault landings with various aircrafts. The 2/12 was chosen to support the ninth division in a operation with the seventh division to secure the town of Lae. The landing was made on September 4th and Lae was captured on September 16th. The next landing was made with one brigade, again supported by the 2/12. The Finchafen campaign was much tougher than Lae. Sattelberg was next where the artillery played a big role where I also contracted malaria and spent a few days in hospital. The New Guinea campaign was over for the 9th division and the Regiment returned to Australia on March 12th 1944, for our second three week home leave. Following our return we spent a lot of time in Ravenshoe, after the campaign at EL Alamein I had a lot of trouble with my hearing and was made B class. I was discharged on the 6th of August 1945 after serving in every campaign in the 9th division excluding Borneo. By Bill Babington, 2000.

With reference to Daniel Boon’s case, the ‘Wagga Wagga Advertiser’ says: - On Friday evening Mr Leary saw Mr Robertson, who said he had never known a case where a recommendation of a jury to mercy had not been observed by the Executive in sparing the life of a prisoner. This led Mr Leary to believe that Boon’s life would be spared, but the decision of the Executive is now uncertain as the recommendation of the jury appeared to be founded on the fact that Boon was drunk when the offence was committed. Owing to the illness of the Minister of Justice, no meeting of the Executive took place on Friday. It will be seen by our telegraph news that Boon has since been ordered for execution by the Executive. – Ed.

Daniel Boon was executed this morning at the gaol. He was attended on the scaffold by the Rev. D. Hermingway and Rev. M. Dwyer. He had embraced the Roman Catholic faith on Saturday last. There were only a few persons present besides the officials of the gaol. The culprit spoke a few words of general contribution for his offence and said he hoped everyone would forgive him, for he had forgiven those who had done anything against him. The body was removed for internment in the afternoon, and a number of friends followed it to the grave: Associate Press telegram The Public Executioner – Gundagai, Thursday. – The public executioner on his return from Wagga Wagga this morning was arrested for protection and brought before Mr. W. Love, P.M. The accused stated that it was worry and anxiety to screen himself that caused the disturbance. His nerves were not strong enough for his profession, and he intended to give it up. It required strong nerves to hang a man, and if he continued at it, it would drive him mad. He would rather lost £200 than the row should have happened. The magistrate dismissed the case as he appeared to be all right. – Telegram to Evening News.
