652	Extract of a Letter sent by Frederick William Bell to his parents, Printed in "The West Australian Mercury" newspaper of 21st October 1901. dated 10th August and says: that since his last letter: "The contingent have had a tough time, but are recompensed by the results of same, taking in all 50 prisoners, innumerable waggons, cattle, horses and sheep; also mealie and foodstuff. This morning we left Ermelo after spending yesterday there in collecting the inhabitants who were the Boers' best friends. We fought a pretty severe rear-guard action coming away; as we evacuated, the enemy again going in and following us to this camp, the strength of the commando being 800. Many handsome buildings we were compelled to burn, and last night was unique in my experience. Imagine a dozen houses at least in blaze at one time; and again our column camped on the outskirts, having huge bonfire concerts, with instruments looted from the adjacent houses, including at least five pianos among the different regiments, everybody enjoying the scene and life, and merriment prevailing on all sides. Such a sight is not easily forgotten and, no doubt, the night of 10-8-1901 will live a long time in our memories. A few nights since we had the good fortune to bag 25 prisoners. Marching all night we surrounded a farm just as dawn was breaking. We fixed bayonets and charged with a yell, with the result of capturing without a shot. Some trouble was experienced in getting them out of the houses, but a few men with cold steel worked wonders. They were, indeed, a motley lot and, strange to say, amongst them were some old enemies of ours whom we had previously met at Brakpan. We identified them by saddlery, wearing apparel etc., etc., taken from the killed at that place. One man was also wearing a ring our men recognised as belonging to a dead comrade. Our prisoner tried very hard to hide himself in the roof; it was funny to see him poked out of hiding with a bayonet. In this capture, as Tommy would say, we "got our own back". We are now on route to Carolina and, on arrival there expect a good mail. In regard to letters lately captured at Reits, I can place very little reliance on them. The prisoners taken assure us that Botha has not the least intention of giving up. This trek we have been in a lot of the same country as when with Kitchener. The third night out we secured 18 prisoners in the same manner as before mentioned. This portion of the Transvaal is now one burnt out and blackened mass. The want of grass is beginning to tell on the Boers' cattle and horses; those captured by us are, many of them, in poor condition. Only this morning we shot over 50 wild ones driven in by us and found to be useless. A few words in reference to the contingent. The men have now thoroughly settled down to the work and are beginning to understand the wily burgher and his many varied and own peculiar ways of fighting; they have not had, as predicted in the first, a huge picnic. Hard work and plenty of fighting have been the general thing, intermingling with severe night marches in the biting cold. There are few things more fatiguing or trying than the latter. How entirely different everything now is when compared with the general advance of eighteen months ago, unless actually experienced, very few can form any idea of what a prolonged and severe campaign like this really means. Country, one devastated burnt and blackened mass; home and belongings consigned to the flames, as each column winds along; cattle, sheep and livestock either destroyed or driven in; families given short notice to leave their all and come along after watching the destruction of homes they have known since childhood. I am not, in the least, an admirer of the Boer or his ways, but, taking all these things into consideration, I cannot censure him for killing as many of us as possible. What would Englishmen, or Australians, do under the same conditions as our enemies but fight to the last? Blood is thicker than water. Even so, we cannot but admire the Dutch women for their loyalty, self-sacrifice and devotion they have shown to the men fighting against us; now alas, for them, a forlorn cause. Small skirmishes are now the order of the day. The Boers are now broken up into small parties. Nevertheless, hey cause us plenty of hard work, with minimum risk to themselves; knowing every nook and corner as they do, it is a simple matter for them to evade us. Night work appears the only way of surprising them as, owing to the intensely cold weather, they are compelled to take shelter in some of the farms. Snipe, snipe, snipe from ridge to ridge, and so the rear-guard usually gets it. Guerilla war-fare is now the correct term. From information gleaned from recent prisoners bagged, this struggle seems no nearer termination than it was twelve months ago. The man who changeth not is the Australian soldier. He goes his way happy in the possession of loot and a good horse, and although, perhaps, the weight of a little pig or, perchance a duck on the saddle tells on his mount, he fights none the worse for it. The latest scheme has been collecting kaffirs; the spectacle of a regiment of niggers of all ages and descriptions, from the picaninny to the aged gin with not enough clothing amongst them to make a decent dishcloth, is indeed funny. So they do their daily march in rear of the convoy, carrying their worldly belongings with them. One of the most striking features of the campaign is the necessary destruction of yoke oxen, horses, mules etc. These poor dumb brutes are forced along until they drop from sheer exhaustion, being then shot and left to rot. When I tell you I have seen as many as twenty oxen drop on one march, you will form some idea of the number required; horses even in greater proportion are destroyed. Good old John Bull is ever ready with a fresh one; his purse strings are being pulled severely, however.Something out of the ordinary I witnessed the other evening. We had collected a number of Dutch women and children. It being Sunday night in camp, they asked permission to sing hymns. On being granted them, and after going through well known "Sankey's", assisted by our own Tommies, they sang "Where is my wandering boy tonight?", first in their own tongue and then in ours. This last would have been quite as successful as the former, only our fellows would be original and substitute the word "girl" in lieu of "boy", which caused the ladies, after singing the Dutch National Anthem, to retire, and so the proceedings ended with "God Save the King" from the lusty throats of three or four hundred Britishers. probably you are wondering where the Boers' supplies are coming from and how he exists. 'Tis a simple matter, for every farm there are at least two kaffir kraals; until quite recently these have been left intact by us, notwithstanding they all contained large supplies of mealies, millet etc. As the Boer believes in Might before Right, the consequence is that the kaffir has to part with his stock. We are the sufferers. In addition to this, his cattle are unmolested, with the result of the Boer coming behind and helping himself. There are supplies hidden in the country to keep them for many months to come. We are continually bringing to light such things. A favourite place for hiding different articles is their graveyards, shaping the earth so as to resemble a newly made grave. We make some very fair finds in these places; also in the rocks and on the banks of steams we dig up loot of all descriptions. A rather amusing incident occurred prior to leaving Ermalo. I was behind with a small post. It appears that two privates remained in town after the column had moved out, with the result of the Boers coming in on top of them. As they only had one horse, they tossed a coin as to who would remain behind, whilst the other took his chance of running the gauntlet. The man who decided to ride for it had a bad time, for as he approached me I gave my men the order for volleys, never dreaming he was one of our own men, as I knew the enemy to be in the town. By his waving and shouting I saw something was amiss, and let him approach. Fortunately he was not hit, only scared. The man who was compelled to remain was wounded and taken prisoner, being subsequently released, and arriving at camp the same evening. Both belonged to the Scottish Horse."	Bell, Frederick William (I7966)

664	For some reason, which is unknown, John William Potts did not use his first Christian name of John and before his marriage, was known as William Potts. So I will use the brackets (John) to distinguish him from the first William in the family. (John) William Potts was born at Richmond New South Wales on 1 April 1850. He lived with his family in New South Wales at Richmond, Bathurst and the Mudgee District. On 10th June 1873, at the age of 23 he married Harriet Milton and they had a total of 13 children. (John) William Potts had a property at Gordon's Gully, Botobolar, near Mudgee and lived there his entire life. The property joined "Havilah", which was owned by a man call Hunter White. Gordon's Gully had beautiful natural spring water. (John) William Potts died at Mudgee on 10 March 1931 aged 81 years, a copy of his death certificate, in the name of William John Potts is attached. One could say that (John) William and Harriet Potts were part of establishing the Potts name in the Mudgee district. Properties at Botobolar, Hayes Gap and Gora, all near Mudgee were in the Potts name for over 100 years. A report in the Mudgee newspaper, reported that a gravestone dated 1888 had been found in a paddock at Botobolar with the name Potts on it.	Potts, John William (I6390)

668	Frank began school at Woodlands and attended Hoyleton, Beau Vale (out from Lameroo) and Meningie schools. His Auntie Myrtle looked after the family after the death of Frank's mother. He left school at 14, and went trapping rabbits on the Coorong. He slept under a sheet of iron next to a stone wall. During his time on the Coorong a gun discharged, hit the heel of another man's boot and ricocheted into his knee. He was admitted to the royal Adelaide Hospital but they were unable to remove all the pellets. His children well remember his great respect of firearms. Work was hard to fin; Frank at one time cracked stone on the Tailem Bend - Meningie road. The lake came up and washed away the road and although he had blisters on his hands to prove he had done the work, he remained unpaid. Frank worked with his father at Naturi, out from Tailem Bend and it was there that he met Ida when they were about 20. The greens had the farm next door. Frank worked for the James bros, at Meningie as a farm hand mustering sheep, milling cows and performing other duties. He also worked as a drover for them. droving sheep in a covered wagon between Meningie, Strathalbyn and Langhorne's Creek, or wherever there was feed for the sheep. It was while he was at James' that he married Ida. They stayed there until after their three children were born; then because wages were too low, they moved to Halidon on to Arthur's farm as he was away at the war. (Frank was rejected volunteer) They Lived in the Oakes House. It was from there, after only a few months, that they moved to Coomandook in 1943 on to the farm of Les Brown who had retired to the city. Here he worked for wages and then shares. Later he bought a farm also owned by the Browns on the other side of the road. In the early days at Coomandook, Frank trapped rabbits. When he had trapped out all his property he went to the neighbours. He used a horse and junker; the rabbits were taken from the traps, put into bags, taken to the pick-up point, then killed, gutted and hung in pairs on a stick between two suitable trees with a Hessian bag drapped over them. Th rabbity later collected them and left the money in a tobacco tin. frank worked hard and had great pride in his farm. He was very conscious about keeping noxious weeds off his farm. There is a certificate for 1950/51 season to say he won third prize in the Barley Crop Competition. Graham and Dorothy worked on the farm until Graham went to the city to find work and Dorothy stayed on as his main helper until her marriage in 1970. In 1973 Frank and Ida achieved their goal of building their own house on their own land. Frank enjoyed playing cricket and played full-back in football and won trophies for the most unselfish player. The Masonic Lodge was an important part of his life. He became Master of the Tailem Bend Lodge in 1963 and when he moved to Murray Bridge he was an almoner for that district. probably Frank's greatest joy in his retirement in Murray Bridge was driving for Meals on Wheels. He also kept fowls and vegetable garden and gave away most of the produce. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)	Tucker, Frank Edmond (I3868)

681	Frederick Charles Gaden Lowe enlisted in the 10th reinforcements to the 6th Australian Light Horse Regiment on 7th September 1915 at Liverpool New South Wales. By this time both his parents had died and he listed his Grandmother Susan Gaden as his next of kin. Her address at this time was listed as 300 Valley Red Wahronga Sydney New South Wales. His age on enlistment was 26 yrs 9 months. His description at the time of his enlistment was aged 26yrs 9mths, height 5 ft 11 inches, weight 136 lbs, chest measurement 33 1/2 inches, complexion dark, eyes blue, hair fair, Religious denomination Church of England. He was approved medically fit and appointed to the 10th Reinforcements of 6th Light Horse Regiment on 22 September 1915. The 6th Light Horse along with the 5th and 7th light horse Regiments made up the 2nd Light Horse Brigade. Frederick along with the rest of the 10th Reinforcements of the 6th Light Horse embarked on transports and sailed from Sydney on 12 October 1915. He arrived in Maadi, Cairo, Egypt on 27 December 1915. Private Frederick Lowe along with the 10th Reinforcements joined the 6th Light Horse Regiment in Cairo Egypt. The 2nd Light Horse Brigade became part of the ANZAC Mounted Division and, in April 1916, joined the forces defending the Suez Canal from a Turkish advance across the Sinai Desert. It fought at the battle of Romani on 4 August, at Katia the following day, and participated in the pursuit that followed the Turks retreat back across the desert. The regiment spent late 1916 and early 1917 engaged on patrol work until the British advance into Palestine stalled before the Turkish bastion of Gaza. It was involved in the two abortive battles to capture Gaza directly (27 March and 19 April) and then the operation that ultimately led to its fall the wide outflanking move via Beersheba that began on 31 October. With the fall of Gaza on 7 November 1917, the Turkish position in southern Palestine collapsed. The 6th participated in the pursuit that followed and led to the capture of Jerusalem in December. The focus of British operations then moved to the Jordan Valley. In early 1918 the 6th was involved in the Amman (24 & 27 February) and Es Salt (30 April & 4 May) raids, both of which were tactical failures but helped to convince the Turks that the next offensive would be launched across the Jordan. Instead, the offensive was launched along the coast in September 1918, with the 6th taking part in a subsidiary effort east of the Jordan. It was part of the force that captured Amman on 25 September, which proved to be its last major engagement of the war; Turkey surrendered on 30 October 1918. The 6th Light Horse was employed one last time to assist in putting down the Egyptian revolt of early 1919, and sailed for home on 28 June. Battle of Romani 04 August 1916 - 05 August 1916 The battle of Romani, fought between 3 and 5 August 1916, finally put a stop to the Turkish threat to the Suez canal and marked the beginning of the British forces' drive out of Egypt and into Palestine. The British defences were sited admist a series of towering sand dunes, 35 kilometres east of the canal, which the Turks tried to outflank to the south early on 4 August. Initially, only the 1st Light Horse Brigade was in position to meet the Turkish attack. Heavily outnumbered it was forced to fall back but as the day progressed both mounted and infantry reinforcements steadily arrived, allowing the position to be stabilized around a massive dune known as Mount Royston, after the charismatic light horse officer Lieutenant Colonel "Galloping Jack" Royston. The position was held throughout the night and before dawn the next morning the 1st and 2nd Light Horse Brigades advanced on foot with the bayonet. Turkish resistance collapsed at this point, and large numbers of prisoners were taken. At 6.30 am fresh troops of the 3rd Light Brigade were turned loose in pursuit of the retreating Turks. Frederick was promoted to Lance Corporal on 21st January 1917. The first battle of Gaza took place on 26 March 1917. Two British infantry divisions were to attack it from the south while the mounted troops of the Desert Column, which included Frederick Low and the Australian 2nd Brigade, would attack from the flanks and north. When the attack was launched the infantry made slow progress but the mounted troops succeeded in capturing high ground to the north of the city and advancing into it. Concerned by the lack of progress made by the infantry, and fearing the water supplies vital for the mounted troops would not be captured that night, Lieutenant General Dobell, the British officer commanding the operation, ordered a withdrawal at dusk. The next morning, after realising his mistake, Dobell attempted to resume the battle with the infantry, but with the troops exhausted and the Turks having received reinforcements, the attack floundered. Frederick Lowe and the 2nd Light Horse Brigade were once again in the second battle of Gaza which took place three weeks later, beginning on 17 April 1917. In the interim the Turks had extended and improved their defences. Dobell launched another frontal assault on the Turkish defences, which was supported by six tanks and gas shells. The tanks and the gas were both dismal failures and the attacking forces could make little headway against well-sited Turkish redoubts. After three days of fighting the attack was called off, having not gained any significant ground. Frederick was promoted to Corporal on 5th November 1917 Just prior to the 3rd Battle of Gaza which he and the 6th Light Horse regiment took no part in. First Amman Raid 22 March 1918 - 30 March 1918 The first "raid" on Amman was mounted between 22 and 30 March 1918 by the British 60th Infantry Division, the ANZAC Mounted Division, which inclued Corporal Frederick Lowe and the Australian 6th Light Horse Regiment, and the Imperial Camel Brigade with the intention of inflicting casualties on Turkish forces and severing railway communications with Damascus. The force crossed the Jordan River on 22 March and, despite difficult conditions, the village of Es Salt was occupied by the evening of the 25 March. The attack on Amman itself commenced on the morning of 27 March with the 2nd Light Horse Brigade, the New Zealand Mounted Rifles and the cameleers providing the attacking force. Fierce fighting continued for two days. The force effected serious damage on the railway but Turkish resistance was so strong that British forces withdrew on 30 March. All elements of the raiding force had recrossed the Jordan by 2 April. Corporal Frederick Lowe was promoted to Sargeant during this battle as a replacement for a Sargeant of the 6th Light Horse Regiment who was killed in action. Es Salt Raid 30 April 1918 - 03 May 1918 Es Salt, a village in Palestine 23 km west of Amman, was the scene of heavy fighting between 30 April and 3 May 1918. The fighting occurred as part of the second "raid" mounted east of the Jordan River by General Sir Edmund Allenby's Egyptian Expeditionary Force. The actual raiding troops - the Australian Mounted (which included Sargeant Frederick Lowe and the 6th Light Horse Regiment), ANZAC Mounted, and British 60th Infantry Divisions, and the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade - were commanded by Lieutenant General Sir Harry Chauvel and their aim was to secure a launching point for operations against the key railway junction at Deraa. The operation progressed well initially with Es Salt being seized by the evening of 30 April. Increasingly determined Turkish resistance, including counter-attacks that threatened the flanks and rear of the advanced elements of the raiding force, eventually forced a withdrawal back to the Jordan on 3 May 1918. The raid failed in its objectives but did serve a purpose in that it encouraged Turkish commanders to believe Allenby's next major effort would be launched across the Jordan, when in fact it would be launched along the coastal plain. Second Amman On 25 September 1918 British forces occupied the city of Amman. After the breakthrough of the British along the coastal plain in the battle of Megiddo, the Turkish forces to the east of the Jordan River had continued to defend their positions. By 22 September, however, elements had begun to withdraw to Amman, with the intention of retreating north to Damascus. The ANZAC Mounted Division (including Sargeant Frederick Lowe and the Australian 6th Light Horse Regiment)chased them east, but a Turkish rearguard managed to hold back the Division long enough for the main body of Turks to get away, leaving only 2,360 Turks to become prisoners. After the Second Amman Raid, Sargeant Frederick Lowe was accepted as an Officer Cadet and underwent training at 6th Light Horse Regiment in Egypt. On the 1st January 1919 Frederick Charles Gaden Lowe was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and posted to 6th Light Horse Regiment. Egyptian Uprising 1919 March 1919 - April 1919 In early March 1919, demonstrations in Cairo, mainly by students, initiated an outburst of anti-British rioting, which within a few days spread through all the lower provinces and extended to upper Egypt. The situation was exacerbated by the local civil service's declaration of a general strike and the rapid suspension of railway and telegraph services. In the absence of a large British force in Egypt, elements of the Australian and ANZAC Mounted Divisions, which included 2nd lieutenant Frederick Lowe and the 6th Light Horse Regiment, then awaiting embarkation to Australia, were instructed to restore order. Within a month of the uprising order had been restored and principal political agitators imprisoned. The flexibility and mobility of the ANZAC forces involved were principal factors in the suppression of the rioting. During this operation, on 2nd April 1919, 2nd Lieutenant Frederick Charles Gaden Lowe was promoted to Lieutenant. Finally, on 28th June 1919, Frederick and the 6th Light Horse Regiment, after nearly 4 years in Egypt, embarked on the H.T. Madras for return to Australia. Lieutenant Frederick Charles Gaden Lowe was demobbed and discharged on 26th September 1919.	Lowe, Frederick Charles Gaden (I9354)

687	Frederick William B?ttcher was the seventh child of Wilhelm and Wilhemina B?ttcher (n. Dahn). He was born on the 20th July 1892 at 8 Campbell St, Alexandria, New South Wales, Australia. When the family lived at St Peters, there were market gardens in the area. One day the boys swam across the Cooks River to get to one of them, to pinch a water melon. When caught they were fined 5 shillings, and they got a hiding from their father Wilhelm. Frederick when a young man, had light brown hair and a mustache. He did his formal training as a cabinet maker/wood turner with George Hudson Timber Merchants and Fabricators. The connections of the Bottcher/Burcher family are doubly linked with the Foran Family. After Wilhelmina's death, Adelaide Foran came to Sydney looking for a job and was introduced to Wilhelm B?ttcher, she later married him in July 1909. Her cousin Ellen was introduced to Wilhelm's son Frederick. Frederick married Ellen Foran, the fourth child of Cornelius Foran and Mary Ann Costello and cousin of Adelaide on the 24th November 1912 in Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia. In 1913 Dorothy Ellen B?ttcher was born and in 1916 Lillian Mary Bottcher was borne. During this time they lived at 20 Foucart St Rozelle. Sometime 1916 and 1918 the family changed their name to Burcher . Their third Child Freida Wilhelmina Burcher was born in October 1918. Freida was named after Frederick's Grandmother in Germany. Frederick worked as a wood machinist, and the family lived at 30 Church St in Balmain North when little 6 months old Freida died of Gastro Muco Colitis on 13th April 1919. In 1919, Mary & Stewart Neal's daughter Annie, aged 18, came to live with them for 18 months, while Mary, Stewart and Annie's siblings moved to Goulburn. Annie was working at the tobacco factory in Kensington. One day when Frederick was shaving and getting ready to go to work in Auburn, Annie asked could she trim his Mustache. She accidentally cut too much, so he had to shave it all of. The Family also lived at Regent St Newtown, Wellington Street Chippendale and eventually moved to 50 Helena St Auburn in 1925 so as to make Frederick's travel to work easier. Lillian remembers growing up during the depression..?ll the families had it tough, used cardboard in the shoes and altered, used clothing. Walked everywhere as they couldn't afford public transport. Her father Frederick would walk from Auburn to Lakemba (after he was put off as a furniture maker/wood turner) to where Mary and Stewart Neal lived (Frederick's sister). They collected fire wood from the bush and paddocks. Cut it up with a large sawing machine, that they had made from an old Citroen Car engine. Bagged the wood and sol it for 1/6 per bag. Frederick had only a small interest in sports, he liked his work shop and the vegetable garden, which where his main form of relaxation. He was interested in music, had a good singing voice, but not trained. He liked to listen to the radio and gramophone, while Ellen enjoyed her flower garden. In the early days, Ellen took Dorothy and Lillian for holidays to Bathurst to stay with her mother. Frederick didn't see much of his brothers and sisters, except for family gatherings such as weddings and funerals, they didn't have much money for traveling and there were few telephones at that time. They were a happy family, leading a very practical life. Dorothy and Lillian being taught skills that stayed with them all their lives, they inherited their love of music and the garden from Frederick. When Dorothy and Lillian wanted to learn dancing and play the piano, Frederick bought an old English piano and fixed it up. He also made beautiful pieces of furniture, poker work. He was a good father and provider. His church was in the back, in his shed, to think (Lillian's Words).
