Marengo and the First World War 1916
In 2015 Murringo Ma ers traced the history of those soldiers from the Marengo area who served on the
Gallipoli peninsula from the landings on 25 April 1915 to the final withdrawal overnight on the 19/20
December 1915. A er the ini al withdrawal to Mudros on the island of Lemnos, the Anzac troops were
transported back to Egypt and spent the next three months integra ng reinforcements into their
depleted ba alions, crea ng new ba alions by spli ng the original 16, undergoing training, and were
then deployed to defend the Suez Canal against probable Turkish a acks during the cooler months when
the Sinai desert wells would support a Turkish advance. But this peaceful existence was not to last.
The Australian light horse regiments were formed into a force which would stay in the Sinai and Pales ne
and would eventually defeat the Turks in that area in 1918, whilst making a name for themselves in the
famous charge at Beersheba. The rest sailed for France in the last week of March. A er landing at
Marseilles and following a long, 50 hour, train journey north, by Anzac Day 1916 they were occupying part
of the extended trench system in northern France known as the Western Front facing their new enemy,
the German army. 1916 was to be the year of the Ba le of the Somme. It would bring the first death in
ba le amongst the Marengo volunteers.
Pozieres village was the focus of the Australia deployment on the Western Front and in late July 1916 the
Australians were part of a general allied a ack along this trench line. It was a hard won fight for li le
ground gained in the last week of July, which brought greater casual es than ever experienced on
Gallipoli by the Anzacs. The scale of ar llery bombardments on both sides were unprecedented and the
frontal a acks caused many casual es. For example, the 1st Pioneer Ba alion suffered the following
casual es in the period from 23 to 27 July: 2 officers and 20 other ranks killed in ac on; 5 officers and 130
other ranks wounded in ac on, and 19 other ranks missing in ac on.
William James Foots (SRN 3750) was part of that ba alion. He had enlisted at Cootamundra on 20 August
1915, and was allocated to the 12th reinforcements of the 4th Infantry Ba alion. A er basic training at
Holsworthy camp he sailed from Sydney on 30 December 1915, arriving at Alexandria, Egypt on 7 January
1916 amongst many other reinforcements for the depleted Anzac forces from Gallipoli. He sailed for
France, arriving at Marseilles on 3 April 1916. On 20 May 1916 he was posted to the 1st Pioneer Ba alion.
Pioneer ba alions worked in close support of the infantry in an a ack and dug and repaired
communica on trenches and dugouts and carried out other minor engineering works, including drainage
and road building.
Foots was reported missing in the period from 22 to 27 July and following a court of inquiry in 1919,
reported in the Red Cross files held at the Australian War Memorial, in which evidence was taken from
another soldier, it was determined he had been killed on 25 July 1916. However the loca on of the event
is clearly wrong, as it iden fies the area around Ypres, not Pozieres. Strangely, the evidence was provided
by Lance Corporal J.W.K. Mitchell, who,
although being a member f the 1st Pioneer
Ba alion was s ll in Australia un l 24 August
1916 a er enlis ng on 27 May 1916. He
arrived in England on 12 October 1916 and
was soon in hospital, not arriving at the front
un l 1917, so he could not have witnessed the
events of the Pozieres a ack.
His family in Marengo was no fied that he was
missing in ac on between 22 and 27 July,
which was reported in the Young Witness on
1 September 1916. A le er, dated 2 February
1917, from his company commander was
published in the Young Witness on Friday, the Page 2
Marengo and the First World War 1916
1st June 1917. An extract said “It seems hard that there should be no hope of his s ll living. Through the
dark days of Pozieres, under a shell fire unprecedented during the whole war, he did his duty with calm
for tude and unwavering steadfastness, doing all that was required of him as a soldier.” The family posted an In Memoriam no ce in the Young Witness on 24 July 1917 to mark the anniversary of his death. On
24 August 1917 extracts from his diary which had been received by his family were published in the Young
Witness. His name is inscribed with those of many other soldiers who were listed as missing in ac on at
the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial in Picardie, France and who have no known grave.
The shocked and depleted Anzac troops were withdrawn from the Somme in late August and early September 1916 and moved to the Ypres area, which was regarded as being a quieter area for the necessary
reorganiza on and rebuilding. The Anzacs expected to spend the winter here, but the Allied strategy of
maintaining frontal a acks in the hope that the Germans would falter and a breakthrough could be
achieved, meant that they were moved back to the Somme to a ack in the area of Fleur. It was here the
second Marengo volunteer died.
John James Joseph Cummins (SRN 2377) had enlisted on 26 May 1915, and was
posted to the 7th reinforcements of the 2nd Infantry Ba alion in Holsworthy army
camp. He sailed from Sydney and joined his ba alion on Gallipoli in September
1915. Some weeks later he was evacuated to England via Malta with dysentery
and influenza where he recuperated. He re-joined his unit in France in August
1916. On 29th October 1916 the 2nd Ba alion moved into the front line near
Flers. Cummins was killed by an ar llery bombardment on the 31 October 1916 in
which one other soldier was killed and 12 others were wounded. He was ini ally
buried near Guendecourt. His permanent grave is at the AIF Burial ground, Flers,
Picardie in France. His brother, Thomas Patrick Cummins (SERN 2377) enlisted on
18 July 1916 and sailed from Australia on 11 November 1916. He served with the
20th Infantry Ba alion, won a Military Medal and survived the war, returning to
Australia in August 1919.
The dreadful ba les of the Somme had claimed the lives of two of Marengo’s volunteers, but the deaths
of the majority would occur in the two remaining years of the first world war, at the ba le of Passchendale in October 1917 and in the final offensives in 1918.

Remembering One of Our Own…...
James Joseph Lowe SERN 1579 Fust AIF Gallipoli and France
When it was decided to widen the criteria for inclusion of names to be inscribed on the Murringo Cenotaph, unveiled in 2015, from the original honour roll at the Murringo Memorial Hall doors to include those
born in Marengo, but not living there at the me of their enlistment in the First AIF, several names were
added to the original list. One who was overlooked was James Joseph Lowe. His uncle, Walter Lowe, although only four months older than James, enlisted in 1916, and had made efforts during the war to join
his nephew, James, in his ba alion, the 1st (NSW) Infantry Ba alion, but these efforts were unsuccessful.
Walter’s biography has been previously wri en about in Murringo Ma ers.
James, son of James and Catherine Lowe who were living at of Bendick Murrell at the me of his enlistment on 23 November 1914, had been born in 1890 at Marengo Creek, possibly because Walter’s mother,
Elizabeth, known locally as “Granny Lowe”, was a well renowned midwife. A er comple ng his recruit
training, James embarked on 11 February 1915 amongst the third reinforcements for the 1st Ba alion,
and a er spending some me in Egypt, joined the ba alion in Gallipoli on 10 May 1915. Therefore he was
not at Gallipoli for the landing on 25 April, but arrived in me for the brutal Turkish assault on 19 May,
which produced so many casual es that an armis ce was held on 24 May for both sides to bury their
dead who lay between the trenches. At the me the 1st Ba alion was in the line at Steele’s post at the
head of Monash Valley. By 11 June 1915 he was back in Egypt, in the Army hospital in Heliopolis with
heart palpita ons. In July, whilst s ll recovering in Egypt, he came down with gastri s. These diseases reflected the level of stress and poor hygiene on the Gallipoli peninsula for all troops there. It appears he
was s ll in hospital with bronchi s in September 1915 and was finally discharged from Ras-el-Tin convalescent home on 7 October 1915.
During his three month convalescence in Egypt the 1st Ba alion had par cipated in the legendary a ack
on Lone Pine from 6 to 8 August and its hard fought defence immediately a erwards. Casual es were
heavy and many of his mates would have been killed or wounded in this ba le.
A er his return to Gallipoli from Egypt on the “Borda” on 18 October, he was wounded by shrapnel in the
right leg on 30 October 1915 when the 1st Ba alion was occupying a posi on on the south of the Anzac
line. The wound must have been slight as he re-joined his unit in the line on 3 November 1915 from the
2nd Light Horse Field Ambulance who treated him on Gallipoli. At the me of the Anzac evacua on from
Gallipoli at the end of December 1915 he was again admi ed to hospital in Egypt on 23 December with
influenza. It appears that he had been evacuated from Gallipoli to Egypt on 16 December with rheumasm.
A er recovering at the Ras-el-Tin Convalescent Home in the ancient city of Alexandria he rejoined his unit
at Tel-el-Kebir camp and later travelled to France, landing at Marseilles on 28 March 1916 travelled by
train north to the Western front, where he was wounded on 28 August 1916, but only slightly so, as he
remained on duty. On 18 February 1917 he was promoted to Lance Corporal, but wounded for a third
me the final offensives against the German army on 10 August 1918.
He returned to Australia on the “Kashmir” on 9 March 1919 and was discharged from the army as able to
“perform normal du es” on 1 July 1919.
Whilst serving he had made an allotment to Mr Ernest Farnsworth on Bendick Murrrell, who may have
been his employer at the me if his enlistment in 1914. The allotment was for three shillings, out of a
total pay of five shillings a day (and slightly more for a lance corporal!), so one hopes there was a fair bank
roll awai ng him on his return a er 4 years of hard service and seeing the world! It
had been quite a journey for the “five bob a day tourists” of the First AIF.
His service records include a le er in 1969 reques ng the issue of the Anzac badge
when he was living at Byrock, near Bourke, in New South Wales.
