NALEY, Gordon Charles
Service No. 1310
Private 16th Battalion H. Company Gordon Charles Naley was the son of William Naley, the station manager of Mundrabilla Station, near Eucla WA, and a Mirning woman whose name is not known. He was born at Mundrabilla Station on 20 January 1884, and was adopted by the wife of one of the station owners, Stuart McGill On 17 September 1914, less than seven weeks after the outbreak of war, he enlisted at Morphettville, South Australia under the alias of Charles Gordon Naley , embarking from Melbourne, Victoria, on board HMAT A40 Ceramic on 22 December 1914 Around 29 May 1915, Gordon Naley was found to be dangerously ill with enteric fever (typhoid) which was becoming common on Gallipoli due to the extremely unsanitary conditions. He was evacuated from Gallipoli aboard the 'Soudan' and admitted to the Infanta Hospital on Malta where he spent the next three months. He was only pronounced out of danger on 10 September 1915 whilst being evacuated to England aboard the 'Italia'. He was admitted to the Military Hospital at Fulham in south-west England on 15 September 1915 where he remained for nine more months. |
|
It was not until June 1916 that Gordon was sent to the 4th Training Battalion on Salisbury Plain to train prior to re-joining his battalion, which had only recently arrived in France from Egypt. He finally returned to the 16th Battalion on 19 August 1916, more than a year after he fell ill on Gallipoli. On 9 January 1917, Gordon was hospitalised in France with the mumps but rejoined the battalion in mid-February. On 11 April 1917, the 16th Battalion was involved in an attack on the Hindenburg Line at Bullecourt. Gordon Naley was wounded in the left hip and captured. He was initially interned as a prisoner of war at the large prisoner of war camp at Limburg in south-western Germany, then later at Gardelegan, in central Germany. He was repatriated via Leith in Scotland, and arrived in London on 8 January 1919. Two weeks later he married Cecilia Karsh at the United Methodist Church, Fulham. He reported to AIF Headquarters on 10 February 1919, but other than a short stint in hospital in late March, he was granted leave until 4 June when he and Cecilia embarked on the 'Bremen'. During this time he corrected his name on Army records to Gordon Charles Naley. The couple disembarked in Adelaide on 23 July and Gordon was discharged on 21 September 1919.
Sadly, Gordon died at Myrtle Bank on 28 August 1928 aged 44 and was buried in the AIF Cemetery, West Terrace, Adelaide. It is believed that he may have been suffering complications from being gassed during the war.
Both of his sons Edgar and Kenneth served in the Second World War. His grandson Mark Naley was a successful Australian Rules footballer for South Adelaide in the SANFL and Carlton in the VFL, and played at full forward in the 1987 Carlton premiership winning team. Mark returned to South Adelaide in 1991 and was awarded the Magarey Medal that year.
Gordon Charles Naley's name does not appear on any war memorial in South Australia, but will be included on the Register of Aboriginal Veterans of South Australia.
