A motor mechanic and cycle builder of Narracoorte, SA, he enlisted on 22 April 1915 and sailed with the 6th Reinforcements on 23 June 1915 aboard HMAT Borda. He was killed in action at Gallipoli on 30 September 1915, aged 19, and is commemorated on the Lone Pine Memorial, Gallipoli. This photograph is from an Australian Red Cross Wounded and Missing Enquiry Bureau file. The Bureau, which commenced operation in October 1915, sought to identify, investigate and respond to enquiries made regarding the fate of Australian personnel. It investigated the majority of personnel posted as wounded and missing on official Army lists, as well as written enquiries from concerned relatives and friends. Approximately 32,000 individual case files were opened for Australian personnel who were reported as wounded or missing during the First World War. The Bureau employed searchers to operate both at the front and in Britain. They searched official lists of wounded and missing, interviewed comrades of missing soldiers in hospitals and wrote to men on active service. Altogether 400,000 responses were sent back to those who placed enquiries with the Bureau.

The following is a copy of a letter dated July 23, 1916 found on the body of Private Thorne ….

“My Darling Mother and all at home,
We are on the eve of a very great battle, and no man of us knows whether or not he may be in this world this time tomorrow.  This may, therefore, be my last farewell here, but I know that God will support you whatever befalls.  We have no fear, and we should all be thankful to possess the assurance that our partings here are only temporary, and that we shall at last meet in a better and happier world.  Should any of your own fall, do not grieve for us, but be thankful that our rest is come, as will that for us all, sooner or later, and when we meet again our present trials will seem quite insignificant compared with the future joy.  Remember, darling mother, that our end will most likely be unconscious, and hence painless.  Should we fall, and although we have seen the awfulness of the worst part of the battlefield, we go without fear, commending our loved ones at home, who are perhaps called upon to make the great sacrifice of loved ones to God’s merciful care.  Remember His sacrifice for us.
Ever your loving son,
Reginald Samuel Thorn.

TRESTRAIL, Evelyn Claire

Picture
Sister Evelyn Claire (known as Claire) Trestrail, born at  Clare, South Australia on 10  December  1887 to Henry and Constancy (nee SMITH) TRESTRAIL.  She sailed from Australia in late 1913 for England in the company of two other nurses  Catherine Tully and Myrtle Wilson. All three ultimately joined a  party of nurses destined for Belgium under the leadership of Mrs St Clair Stobart. Iimmediately after war broke out in August. Stobart's group,  numbering 12 nurses with support staff,  sailed for Belgium on 22 September 1914,and  landing at Antwerp, where they immediately set up a  120 bed hospital in a concert  hall at Burchem, in the southern  region of the city.  Because of its  position relative to Antwerp (to the north) and the line  of the German advance (from the south), the Burchem Concert Hall was in the direct line of German artillery fire, and shells sailed over the  building with frightening regularity. Overwhelmed in the field by the German advance, Belgium's remaining military strategy became a retreat behind the ring of forts surrounding Antwerp. 

The first enemy shells fell around the hospital on 28 September; by 1 October the Belgian government had 
decided to evacuate the city two days later. British Naval Brigade reinforcements  did nothing to stall the inevitable and by 5 October the Germans had broken through the outer  defences. The city fell on 8 October.  The nurses emerged the next morning to find Antwerp  empty and burning. The Germans were arriving. The sixteen nurses and staff managed to find  motor  lorries to transport most of the wounded but by late afternoon were alone with no means of  escape themselves. The lucky arrival of three London buses carrying ammunition proved their salvation, but only because Mrs Stobart stepped into the middle of the burning street to stop them. 

The British drivers readily agreed to take them through Antwerp 'if you'll be as quick as lightning  A Belgian Army Officer agreed to take them towards the coast. The party was evacuated by the Royal Navy and arrived at Folkestone on Sunday morning, 12 October.  The team were operational again within a month, sailing from Southampton on 5 November for France, setting up in the sixteenth century Chateau Touraville in Cherbourg. 

Thereafter, Sister Trestrail worked for a number of private hospitals in the Marne district of Paris, caring
for wounded French and Belgian soldiers, having spent 1915 with the Queen Alexandra's  Imperial Military
Nursing Service (QAIMNS) unit on contract. When hostilities ceased in  November 1918, she spent three years working in England before returning to Australia in 1921. Whilst working in Queensland she met and married Sydney Percival Swan, a returned serviceman  of Albion who had served with 21 Howitzer Brigade in France. When war erupted again in 1939, she became involved in the training of women of the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD). She died in September 1960.  

Sister Trestrail had to fight to gain the recognition necessary to be granted her 1914 Star, and her British record contains comments dated 4 May 1918 stating 'Ineligible. Did  not serve on the establishment of an authorised unit of the BEF'. This attitude, however, had changed by the following year, and her receipt for her 1914 Star and clasp is dated 6 June 1919 and most unusually, was issued by the Navy. 

Claire was the eldest of five siblings, four of whom served during the First World War. Her younger brothers, John Henry and Amarald Glen, served in the Royal Flying Corps and 1 Machine Gun Battalion respectively, Amarald also being awarded a Military Medal for gallantry at Villaret. Sister Ella served as a nurse and married a returned amputee. Only Amy, born 1891, did not serve.
