Hello, I would like to use your information on a posting about Herter, his sculpture, context. I will attribute your page. I lived in Berlin in the early 1990s, and always admired Herter’s art work, as well as the Berlin Academy in general. Thank you, P Brad Parker, sculptor, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A.

Comment on First Australian Imperial Force – Mutiny on the Western Front. by Muzza

Thanks for your input. Your Grandfather was one of the lucky ones to survive. Sounds like he may have been away from the Unit training at Salisbury (lucky fellow) during the re-organisation and perhaps not affected to the same degree. The 54th Battalion was amalgamated with the 56th Battalion on 11 October forming the 54th/56th Battalion; together they were later also amalgamated with the rest of the 14th Brigade’s battalions into one unit, with the 54th/56th Battalion being disbanded on 10 April 1919.

I am adding my notes from my grandfather’s service record. When I look at the latter part of it it always seems to me that he participated in the mutiny by the 54th Battalion but when he returned home he never spoke of it. I wonder if someone with a bit more knowledge on such matters could have a look and tell me what they think. I would like to leave the story for my children and grandchildren if it is true as I find it reflects such a strong and independent spirit.
‘On enlistment Oscar Ernest Stait served with A Company Depot 54th Battalion at Bathurst, NSW from 25 Jul 1916. On 25th October 1916, Stait, along with the 7th Reinforcements of the Battalion left Sydney aboard HMAS ‘Ascianus’. They disembarked in Devonport, Tasmania on the 28th Dec 1916 and arrived in Folkestone, England on 2 Jul 1917. After a brief period of training in England they embarked from Folkestone on 3 Jul 1917 for the brief trip to France. They marched out to Le Havre on the 21st July and Oscar Stait was taken on the 54th Battalion’s strength on 12 Aug 1917. As part of the Ypres, Belgium operations the Battalion took part in the Polygon Wood offensive during 1917. In April 1918, the 54th Battalion, part of the 14th Brigade, 5th Division AIF took part in the Villers Brettonneux offensive. On 17 April 1918, the 54th Battalion was lying in readiness when the Germans unleashed a concerted gas barrage of an estimated 12000 gas shells (including mustard, “sneezing gas” and phosgene) on the villages of Villers Brettoneux and Bois l’Abbe. Stait suffered severe exposure to mustard gas and was wounded in action. He was admitted to L. of C. Hospital on the 20th April 1918. His condition did not improve and he was transferred to Edgbaston, Birmingham General Hospital on the 23rd April, arriving there on the 24th April. His condition was listed as shell gas (severe). He was again transferred to the 3rd Auxiliary Hospital in Dartford on the 15th May and returned to duty on the 21st May 1918.
On the 9th July 1918 he was transferred as Private in Command to the 5th Division Signals of the 14th Battalion and sent for a course of instruction with the 6/Seas Engineering Brigade. On the 28th September 1918 he was charged with being out of Bounds in Salisbury and docked 7 days pay. He was then transferred to the reinforcements of the 56th Battalion on the 26th September 1918. He was again transferred to the 3rd Battalion on the 10th October and the 53rd Battalion on the 22nd November 1918. On the 23 November he was charges with being AWOL and lost 7 days pay.
He was discharged from the A.I.F. on 9th June 1919, ex ‘Kashmir’ T.P.E.

Comment on LBJ reveals GI Mutiny and more on MacArthur’s Hubris by Roy

LBJ’s trip to Townesville is famouns for the Silver Star he got out of it. Very anti LBJ biographer Robert Caro made a huge deal out of Lyndon’s unearned award and other historians have expressed amazement at how enthusiastically the local US military authorities were about LBJ’s conduct on his ride a long mission was, though I have even heard rumors that ge didn’t even do that. Quite a bit of brown nosing for such a junior congressman. This story makes me wonder if his service wasn’t the supposed combat mission, but rather cleaning up the mutiny.
