MACK, Miller
Service No. 2949
Private 50th Battalion, 7th Reinforcements, 10th Battalion Miller Mack was born at Point McLeay, South Australia in 1894, his parents were John Mack and Margaret 'Pinkie' Mack (nee Karpany) He worked as a labourer prior to enlisting at Adelaide on 23 August 1916. After initial training at Mitcham Camp, he sailed to England , leaving Adelaide on the 'Afric' on 6 November 1916, and arriving at Plymouth, Devon on 9 January 1917. Miller was sick during the voyage, and spent some time in the ship's hospital. |
|
After disembarking in England, Miller and his comrades were sent to the 13th Training Battalion at Codford in Wiltshire for further training in trench warfare. During his four months training, Miller spent several weeks in hospital with colds and influenza. In May 1917 he boarded a ship for France and after moving through the various depots, was taken on strength of the 50th Battalion at Buire, northern France. A few days later, the battalion boarded a train at Albert, and were transported to Flanders in Belgium.
Miller was evacuated to hospital in early July 1917, still suffering from a persistent cough which he just couldn't shake. He was admitted to hospital in England on 17 July with severe bronchial pneumonia, and by September had lost nearly 20 kilograms in weight and been diagnosed with tuberculosis. In late September he was shipped back to Australia to be discharged as medically unfit, but needed hospitalisation at Torrens Park and then at the Nunyara Sanatorium at Belair prior to being discharged in May 1918. He returned to Point McLeay in November 1918, but was very unwell. He was admitted to the Bedford Park Sanatorium for returned soldiers with tuberculosis, where he died on 3 September 1919, almost exactly two years after his diagnosis with the disease. He was buried the following day at the West Terrace Cemetery, just outside Light Oval which had already been set aside for the AIF Cemetery. His funeral costs were paid by the Army.
In January 1920, Mr Mat Kropinyeri wrote to The Register newspaper asking for donations to build a memorial for Miller at the cemetery, as his grave had no headstone. At that time, he was the only Aboriginal returned soldier buried in West Terrace cemetery. In response, a donation of several pounds was received by The Register from the patients at the Bedford Park Sanatorium. They wrote that he had a "kindly and manly nature, he endeared himself to us all, and when he 'went west' we felt we had lost a dinkum pal. Those of us who knew him in camp and abroad can testify to his sterling qualities as a soldier and a man."

In the end though, it was the Office of Australian War Graves that placed a marker on his otherwise unmarked grave.

DEATH OF S.A. EXPLORER
Brilliant Career Of Dr. C. T. Madigan
Dr. Cecil Thomas Madigan scientist, explorer and lecturer in geology at the University of Adelaide died yesterday in the Daws Road Military Hospital. He had never properly recovered from an illness he suffered on Kangaroo Island a year ago which forced him to return to hospital last week Dr. Madigan, who was 57, left a widow, three sons (Messrs. D. C. R. T. and M. R. Madigan) , and two daughters (Misses N. W. and R. W.Madigan). Dr. Madigan was a member of the Mawson Antarctic expedition in 1911-14. His great interest in the centre of Australia took him there on many expeditions. Best known of these was his crossing with a party of scientists, of the Simpson Desert in 1939. He was a brilliant scholar, of commanding appearance and great charm of manner and his extensive travels and wide interest in sport and community activities gave him many friends. He was born at Renmark on October 15, 1889, and was educated at Adelaide and Oxford Universities. Dr. Madigan was the Rhodes Scholar for South Australia in 1910 and took his MA degree in 1919. In 1922 he was appointed lecturer in geology at the University of Adelaide. In 1932 he gained the BE degree. Two years later Oxford University awarded him the DSc degree for his original work in geology, geography and meteorology. His most important geological work was done in Central Australia, to which he made six excursions—five as leader.
Air Expedition
He regarded the RAAF reconnaisance in 1929, the first time planes were used for such a purpose in Australia, as his most interesting expedition. He attacked, vigorously, theories that Central Australia was a "land of hidden wealth" and of "great untapped resources." He asserted that nothing like a million people could be placed in what he classed as arid regions--about as fertile as Arabia. The objectives of the Legacy Club found in him an ardent supporter, and he was elected president in 1935. Believing that European countries were leaving Australia behind, physically, he played an important part in the activities of the National Co-ordinating Council for Physical Fitness, on which he was appointed South Australian representative in 1939. The Boy Scout movement was another of Dr. Madigan's many interests and in 1934 he was appointed Chief Commissioner in this State. With a rank of lieutenant- colonel, he was called up early in World War II., his first duty being to found the Australian schools of military engineering, in which 300 young officers of the AIF were trained. Subsequently he entered the headquarters of the New South Wales Lines of Communication Area, where his main task was to report on the water resources of the State. Colleague's Tribute"With the passing of Dr. Madigan, this State has lost an able scientist, an indefatigable explorer, a good soldier and a clear-minded patriotic citizen." said the Professor of Geology at the University of Adelaide (Sir Douglas Mawson) last night. "In his student days he exhibited unusual mental ability and stood high in the fields of athletics. "When a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, he joined our Australian Antartric expedition in 1911-14. On that adventure he proved to be a very able and loyal comrade, achieving a notable record as sledge leader."His winter sledging journey across the ice plateau of Daly Land constitutes a world record for travel in the face of extremely adverse weather conditions.'" said Sir Douglas Mawson. "Later, when my own sledging party was overdue owing to a crevasse disaster which cost the lives of my two companions, Cecil Madigan was chosen by Capt. Davis of the relieving vessel Aurora to take charge for a second year of our mainland base, and there to make a search for our missing party."So he proved himself to be a very able leader in the Antarctic and later sustained and enhanced his good reputation in the capacity of captain in the Royal Engineers in the first World War, and later as a geologist in the Sudan. Finally, on his return to South Australia, for years he most ably filled the post of senior lecturer in geology at the University. "We shall miss his cheerful personality at the University, and citizens will no longer be able to admire his athletic figure striding through the streets of Adelaide"

Six days after his last promotion he was awarded the Military Cross for gallant conduct in action near Zonnebeke, Belgium. "He set such a splendid example, 'runs the official record,' of dash and determination to his men during an attack, that they carried all opposition before them. His fearlessness and contempt of danger had a marked effect on the success of the operations.'" In the course of this engagement (the Battle of Menin Road) Lieutenant Maegraigh was severely wounded. He was consequently invalided home and received his discharge from the AIF on 23rd May 1918. Bank of New South Wales Honour Roll |
