WHITE, Stephen William
Corporal Stephen William White (8427) was born 18th Nov 1883, Glanville, Port Adelaide, a third generation ‘colonial’. He was the first member of his family to travel back to Europe since his great grandparents arrived in the colony of South Australia sixty six years earlier. At 31 years old, White joined the first AIF on the 13th July, 1915 that was to serve in Egypt, France and Belgium in WW1. Upon enlistment at Keswick, he states he is 30 and a ‘Bridge Carpenter’. The enrolment officer’s description: dark complexion, brown eyes, dark hair, 5ft 9in and 148lb, tattoo both forearms, single.
July 1915 was also the peak time for enlistment in the war in Australia, with three times as many enlistments as in the previous month, spurred by the news of the Gallipoli landing, the June announcement that there had been 10,000 Australian casualties, and the June call from Britain of ‘every available man wanted.’ This group who enlisted after the casualty figures were announced were known as the ‘fair dinkums’ as they knew their chances of survival. White served in the 18th Battery, 6th Field Artillery Brigade, first Australian Imperial Force. The battery first trained as the 34th Battery at Artillery Base Camp at Mitcham. They later transferred to Glen Osmond for further training where it became the 18th Battery led by Major Dean (later Colonel), and then left Adelaide on the 18th October, 1915 to join and form the 6th Field Artillery Brigade in Essendon North, Victoria. A larger group comprising Victorians and Tasmanians then formed the 6th brigade, including the 16th, 17th and 18th Batteries. The brigade left Australia on the 22nd November 1915 via Port Melbourne on the cargo passenger liner Persic. The 18th Battery 6th Field Artillery Brigade was declared to be the ‘first and only complete Field Artillery Battery to go on active service from South Australia.’ |
On 6th June 1918, White was sent back to Australia via the ship ‘Barambah’ departing from Liverpool with ‘Debility - Trench Fever’. He had a total army service of 3 years and 91 days, and service abroad was 2 years and 252 days. Though sent back with '6 months to live', White went on to live for another fifty years.
