203 OBITUARY.
Mrs. Christina BUCHANAN.
The death occurred on Saturday night of Mrs. Christina Buchanan, a very old and respected resident of the Mount Gambier district. She was the relict of the late Mr. Duncan Buchanan, whom she married in 1857. She has been in failing health for some time, and her death was not altogether unexpected. She was a daughter of the late Mr. Peter McArthur, a pioneer farmer of this district. She came to Australia and landed in Portland with her parents in 1852, then at the age of 13 years. The place of her birth was the Island of Mull, Argylshire, Scotland. She was 84 years of age at the time of her death, and was thus a colonist of 71 years. Mrs. Buchanan a few years ago built a fine house on the Bay-road, and then left the farm in the care of her sons. She was a valued member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, and was well respected by all who knew her. A family of four sons and five daughters survive: Messrs. John, Peter, Archibald, and Walter Buchanan, and Mesdames H. H. Barrett, H. Gaillard, R. H. McFarlane, R. H. Charlick, and Miss M. Buchanan.
The funeral took place yesterday, when the Rev. J. H. Hull officiated at the graveside. Mr. A. J. McCallum had charge of the arrangements.

205 OBITUARY.
The death of another old colonist, Mr. William Leaity Morris, of Edwardstown, is reported. Mr. Morris was born in the Parish of Gulvall, near Penzance, Cornwall, in 1807, and thus had reached the ripe old age of 90 years. He and his wife (who has been dead about nine years), with three sons and two daughters, arrived the colony in 1847 in the ship Cressy. They lived in Adelaide for a short time, and then removed to Magill.
Mr. Morris worked at his trade as a wheelwright in the employ of the late Mr. Adamson for a time, and subsequently, after purchasing land in King William-street south, he commenced business there on his own account. It was while carrying on this business that he became so widely known, especially as a waggon builder. After taking the first prize for the first colonial-built waggon in connection with the Agricultural Society's shows his vehicles were much sought after by farmers and carriers of the colony, and the good name he then earned as a tradesman was maintained up to the time of his retirement from business, about 12 years ago.
Mr. Morris never took part in public affairs, being of a retiring disposition, but he was admired by all who came in contact with him for his sterling business integrity and uprightness of character. Four sons and three daughters with their families of 50 grandchildren and 42 great grandchildren survive him.

206 OBITUARY.
The late Mr. Alfred Ocean Chambers, who died at his residence, Teresa street, Norwood, last week, was well known in Adelaide. He was an old colonist, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life on the goldfields and in the bush in Victoria before he settled in this state, nearly 40 years ago.
The deceased gentleman was born, as his second baptismal name suggests, at sea, in 1841. His father, the late Mr. John Chambers, was a schoolmaster, and was on his way to Hobart when his fourth son was born. He settled in Tasmania with his family. He was one of the pioneer temperance advocates in Australia, having signed the pledge in 1832. The late Mr. A. O. Chambers left Tasmania in 1852, and went to Victoria. He at once proceeded to the goldfields, and remained there for about eight years in the capacity of storekeeper's assistant.
In 1865 he came to South Australia, and was employed by Messrs. Harris, Scarfe, & Co. for two years, but was thrown out of work by the commercial depression occasioned by the drought in 1866 and 1867. While he was waiting for an opportunity to secure another situation he conceived the idea of constructing a "commonsense washing machine." He had not had any previous experience as a carpenter, but he succeeded in turning out useful machines, which immediately became popular. He began business as a manufacturer on his own account, and carried on the enterprise for 20 years with success. During that time he perfected several useful mechanical inventions. In 1887 he joined the public service as relieving officer for the city in connection with the Destitute Asylum. He was prominent in literary society work, a foremost member of the baptist Church, and was a lay preacher for a number of years. He was a persistent advocate of total abstinence, and it is said that he was instrumental in securing more than 1,000 pledges. He took an active interest in all kinds of philanthropic work, and the last letter which he wrote to The Register, published on October 12, 1903, was in connection with an appeal he had previously made for monetary assistance for an unfortunate man whom he had befriended.
Mr. Chambers's family consisted of five sons and six daughters.

207 OBITUARY.
The Late Mr. Duncan BUCHANAN.
- One of the oldest residents of the district passed away on Thursday, Jan. 30 (says the South-Eastern Star of February 1), when Mr. Duncan Buchanan, farmer, died at his residence, Gambier East.
Mr. Buchanan was born at Glendaruel, Argyleshire, Scotland, on May 26, 1819, and when scarcely twenty years of age he showed he was possessed of an adventurous spirit by emigrating to Soutb America, where he engaged in pastoral pursuits near Buenos Aries and Monte Video. He found the Spanish laws and customs, however, very unjust to English people : Indeed, to every nationality but Spanish. For fourteen years he endured them, and then left the country without even disposing of all his property. He returned to Scotland, but after so long a residence in a warmer region, found the rigorous climate of the old land too much for him, and having spent a year there, sailed for Australia.
That was about 1856. He went direct to the South-East, where his first occupation was that of a stockkeeper for the late Mr. Neil Black. Mr. Buchanan had become an accomplished horseman in South America, and was able to perform feats at Mr. Black's cattle station that few, if any, even in those pioneer days, could rival. He could, for instance, lasso horses or cattle when riding at full gallop, or riding barebacked at full speed lean over and pick up a stock-whip from the ground. No fences that his steed could take daunted him, and the way in whioh he could at high speed thread his way through the dense forests ot that day was wonderful. After a two years' stay at Neil Black's, Mr. Buchanan married a daughter of Mr. P. MacArthur, sen., and took up the farm in Gambier East, about two miles south-east of the town, on which he remained till his death. For some years Mr. A. MacArthur, his brother-ln-Iaw, was a partner with him in the farm. The deceased gentleman leaves a widow, five sons, and an equal number of daughters. Two of the latter are married, one to Mr. H. H. Barrett. J.P., and the other to Mr. H. Gaillard. Mr. Buchanan, who was a member of the Mount Gambier Presbyterian Church, was much respected by all with whom he was acquainted, or who had business dealings with him, his conduct being at all times courteous and unassailable in its honesty.

209 Obituary:
Mr. Fred Meincke, who has been associated with him in the carrying trade, was born on the old lightship. When the railway authorities were building the bridge over the Light to carry the railway to Kapunda, Mr. Meincke was sent up as interpreter for the gangs of German workmen employed, and the result was that he settled in Kapunda as carrier for the railway. Excepting for one term as Councillor for West Ward Mr. Meincke did not enter much into the public life of the town, but he was of a charitable disposition and no-one ever appealed to him in vain. He was a subscribing member of Lodge of Light for 43 years, and was a past master of the lodge. His second son (Mr. Julius Meincke) is at present the immediate past master of the lodge. In addition to the widow, there survive six children?Mrs. Evan James and Miss Edith Meincke (Kapunda), Mr. Fred Meincke (Kapunda), Mr. Julius Meincke (Anlaby), Mrs. F.

Gruesome Discovery - Wife Found Dead
Adelaide Tuesday.
Mrs Edith Lillian Stead, aged 42 years, was found dead in her bath yesterday evening. Her husband returned from work and entered the home, at Knoxville, and called to his wife several times. Receiving no answer, he made a search and ultimately made the gruesome discovery. His wife apparently had been dead for several hours. Medical advice was procured, but life was pronounced extinct.

214 Obituary:
Mr Louis Meincke, widely known for the last half century as railway and general carrier at Kapunda, died on Monday evening. While talking with the stationnmster on Friday evening at the railway station Mr. Meincke was stricken with illness, which proved to be a rupture of a blood vessel on the brain.
He was conveyed to his home in a cab belonging to another old Kapundain, Mr. Ben Warrick, with whom over a long series of years there had been good personal and business relations. His advanced age, 79 years, told against any recovery, and he passed away quietly just three days, to the hour, after the seizure. The deceased was born at Schleswig, Germany, on October 7, 1835. He went to sea from the port of Hamburg, and arrived by sailing vessel at Port Adelaide.
He joined the pilot service there and his eldest son, Mr. Fred Meincke, who has been associated with him in the carrying trade, was born on the old lightship. When the railway authorities were building the bridge over the Light to carry the railway to Kapunda Mr. Meincke was sent up as interpreter for the gangs of German workmen employed, and the result was that he settled in Kapunda as carrier for the railway. Excepting for one term as councillor for west Ward Mr. Meincke did not enter much into the public life of the town, but he was of a charitable disposition and no one ever appealed to him in vain. He was a subscribing member of the Lodge of Light for 43 years and was a past master of the lodge. His son, Mr. Julius Meincke, is at present the immediate past master of the lodge.
In addition to the widow there survive six children (Mrs. Evan James, Miss Edith of Kapunda, Mr. Fred of Kapunda, Mr. Julius of Kapunda, Mrs. F. Groth of Broken Hill, and Mrs. Hambly of Mile End), 27 grandchildren, and six great grandchildren.

223 Obituary: MR. D. S. KEIGHTLEY
Mr D. S. Keightley, 66, of Angaston, died yesterday morning after a long illness, and final tributes will be paid with a feeling that he will live on in the many things of community value he so unselfishly helped to create.
Born in the district, he was allied with Mr Ohlmeyer in his younger days, and then acquired and built up his Angaston business with the unfailing help of Mrs Keightley, formerly Miss Florence Sleader, who devotedly nursed him during his long illness.
He was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1921, and around that time did splendid work toward establishment of the District Hospital, of which he was chairman at time of the officiol opening in 1921. After 21 years in office, he retired in 1942, and was presented with an illuminated address. The Institute, too, profited by his help and vision, for he was one of the founders of the Pictures in 1914, and was Institute president from 1922 till 1924.
He was first secretary of the bowling club long before the greens were laid, and went on to win a top place among trophy winners. Later he became president, and growth of the club was akin to that of the Institute during his able leadership. He was a Past Master of Barossa Masonic Lodge, and the scope of his community interest reached also to the young people to whom he lent valuable guidance in the days when debating and constructive thinking were vital elements.
D.S.K. has passed on, but it can be said of him that the path he trod bears the fragrance of affection and appreciation for the inspiration and good he wrought. Left with Mrs Keightley are two sons: Ronald, Adelaide; and Graham, Angaston. The funeral takes place today.

319 Sourced from Laurence Tilley, Facebook. Ray was part of this offensive, as a member of an Engineer Company. Accessed 5 October 2020.
Hell in the tropics; Jungle covered hills and swamps of Labuan Island.
'The Battle of Labuan Island'. Elements from one of Australia's finest Divisions the 9th against Imperial Japanese forces on the island of Labuan off Borneo during June 1945. It formed part of the Australian invasion of North Borneo, and was initiated by the Allied forces as part of a plan to capture the Brunei Bay area and build a base for the British Pacific Fleet. The Islands airstrips would be built into a base. Supply and command centers would be constructed all to support future offensives.
Personal for the offensive would come from the Australian 9th Divisions 24 Brigade, and the 20th Brigade. The main combat units would be the 2/28th and 2/43rd Battalions, the 2/32nd Battalion was assigned as a reserve force, along with the 2/11th Commando Squadron, the 2/12th Field Regiment, the 2/9th Amoured Regiment, (equipped with Matilda Tanks and 'Frog' flame thrower Matilda tanks, the 2/2nd Machine Gun Battalion, and a range of engineer, signals and logistics units.
The RAAF and USAF and the United States Navy and the Royal Australian Navy had performed limited bombardment of the Island since May 3rd in preparation for the invasion.
The convoy carrying the 9th Division left Morotai on 4 June and experienced another form of hell from cramped conditions aboard the transport ships, the heat and high humidity making conditions unbearable. The convoy reached Brunei Bay before dawn on 10 June. The main body of the convoy anchored off Labuan.
A heavy bombardment of the beach by cruisers, destroyers, and rocket ships was carried out prior to the landing.
the Australian came ashore unopposed.
The landings on Brunei Beach began on June the 10th, 1945.
The elements of the 24th Brigade, two battalions, 2/28th and the 2/43rd (approx 750 men) hit the beach. The 2/28th from the west, and 2/43rd from the East.
The 2/32nd Battalion and the 2/11th Commando Squadron were left embarked as reserves.
The 2/28th were given the objective of securing the town and the high ground at Victoria hill, and flagstaff hill respectively.
Before they could reach their objective, the 2/28th fought a savage battle at a canal (28 metres wide by 1.5 metres deep) the canal was guarded by a machine gun bunker, on clearing that after heavy fighting they continued on their way to their objective. they fought their way to an area of the hills the troops named 'the Pocket". The main terrain features within the Pocket were three jungle covered areas of high ground named Lushington Ridge, Norman Ridge and Lyon Ridge. The entire area was literally covered in mine fields, booby traps and machine gun bunkers. A a large swamp prohibited movements making it difficult to move the 2/11th forward. The resistance in the hills was so strong, Tanks and "Frog"flame thrower Matilda tanks were moved forward, Artillery, the (2/12th infantry unloaded 200 tons of 25 pounder ammo onto the Pocket whilst heavy machine gun units were moved forward. The main Japanese Garrison had dug in here.
The Japanese opened up with all they had, and they had a lot, so much that the advance was halted whilst the RAAF was called in to lay a heavy bombardment on the hills.
Days of extremely savage and intense fighting took place by both C & D companies of the 2/28th Battalion, they were really amongst it,
Fighting against a well dug in and heavily supported enemy. The Pocket was finally taken on June 21 finally the whole Island was in Australian Hands.
This Infantry Battalion saw more heavy action than any others during the Campaign.
Of the more than 380 dead Japanese troops killed in the Invasion, more than 250 Japanese lay dead in the 'Pocket'; approximately 20 light and heavy machine guns were captured along with many light and heavy mortars.
In the meanwhile The 2/43rd Battalion would would capture the airfield located north of Victoria, designated "No. 1 Strip" by the Australians. By June 13th the main airport on Labuan had been taken and most of the island was in Australian hands The 2/43rd Battalion went on to take the second strip, the temporary airstrip at Timbalai on Labuan's west coast. From then on the 2/43rd patrolled the island. cleaning up pockets of resistance whilst securing the operation.
The 2/11th Commando's had come ashore during this time and captured Victoria Harbour with what they called 'light resistance'. The Commandos then moved into the town of Labuan and joined up with the 2/32nd in reserve. From June 21st the Commando Regiment would be used to patrol the Island and clean up any small pockets of resistance left. They would be involved with Topography work and other skilled work.
They would go on to kill 27 Japanese soldiers.
Again all Europeans on the Island of Labuan were executed by the Japanese. whilst labourers were starved to death in work parties
Only 11 Japanese were captured during the whole campaign on Labuan Island. I wonder why!

In the Watch of Saturday we furnished some particulars relative to the late Mr. Peter MacArthur, farmer, of Greenvale, but because of the very late hour at which the news of his death was received several interesting facts were omitted. As stated, he was born in Mull, Argyleshire, Scotland, in 1806, and was thus at the time of liis death 86 years of age. On December 4,1852, he landed with his wife and family at Portland, in the ship Marmion of New York, and came at once to this district. For three or four years he was employed at Compton and elsewhere, and was one of the first who ever ploughed land in the neighbourhood, having ploughed a field for the late Dr, Wehl one or two years after his arrival. Thirty-seven years ago he started farming on his own account, having secured the block of ground which he subsequently called Greenvale. He prospered, and became one of the best-to-do agriculturists in the district. It was only a few years ago that advancing age compelled him to relinquish the pursuit, although he might, as far as circumstances were concerned, have entered upon a life of leisure many years before. As time went on his family grew up and settled down, most of them in the South-East. Mr, MacArthur was three times married, and his family in this country consisted of seven sons and five daughters, ten of whom survive him. His sons John and Neil died several years ago. At present there is no family in the Soutn-East that has so wide a connection as that of the late Mr. MacArthur, or that is so numerous. Besides his five surviving sons (Messrs. Archibald, Donald, James, Charles, and Dugald MacArthur) and five daughters (Mesdames William Sinclair, A. Buchanan, P. Sinclair, J. Smith, and R. Carrison), there are 76 grandchildren and 35 gieat grandchildren of the deceased living, making a total of 121. The deceased took no part in public affairs, but was widely respected socially and in business. His funeral on Sunday afternoon was largely attended, not withstanding that it took place in the midst of a steady rain, a fact which indicated very clearly the esteem in which he and his family were held. The Rev. R. A. Caldwell, of whose church the deceased was for many years a member, conducted the funeral service.

356 WELCOME TO MR. JOHN A. RANN
The anticipatry welcome we offered to Mr. Rann on his return home, was followed by a pleasant gathering of the members of the Port Adelaide Christy Ministrels, at Mr. Spritch's Wharf Hotel, Port Adelaide, on Tuesday night. After a very capital dinner (which reflected very great credit on the Host) over which His Worship the Mayor presided, Mr. Mussared being in the Vice-Chair, the Toast of the evening was given by the Chairman. He said Mr. Rann was the son of a respected old colonist, and had returned to the colony after his visit with new feelings of an attachment to the place. He had known the guest from boyhood, and he had taken an active interest in manly sports, and had been Secretary of a popular institution, whose object had been to aid the needy and whose mission he was he was glad to say had been most successful, though in though in fairness he must say that he thought it was mainly through the energy of the Secretary (applause.) The complement paid Mr. Rann was one which would also show the respect in which his honoured parents were held. The toast was received with musical honours. The Vice-Chairman, on behalf of the Port Christys, warmly endorsed the complement. Mr. J. A. Rann, received with cheers, very briefly expressed his gratitude to the expressions of kindness given.
He had had a pleasant trip to England, and was glad to return to South Australia. (Cheers). Several other toasts, including that of "The Host and Hostess" and "The Press," "The Ladies", &c., were honoured, and the proceedings, varied by some capital songs, ended at an early hour.
