910 James William Thomas McCauley is the first child of Wilhelmina (Minnie) Augusta Bottcher and James William Edward McCauley. He was born on 3rd March 1915 at Glebe, New South Wales, Australia.

In 1934 at the age of 19yrs he married Amy Dorothy Goode at Kogarah, New South Wales. Dorothy and James had two children Lorraine born in 1935 and Edward born in 1938.

James enlisted in the Australian Military Forces on 9th October 1939 at Arncliffe, New South Wales. He was posted to 2/3rd Bn and was initially posted to Liverpool and then Ingleburn for his basic training.
The 2/3rd Battalion was raised at Victoria Barracks, Sydney on 24 October 1939 as part of the 16th Brigade of the 6th Australian Division. It relocated to the newly-opened Ingleburn Camp on 2 November where it conducted its basic training. On 10 January 1940, it sailed from Sydney and disembarked in Egypt on 14 February.
After further training in Palestine and Egypt, the 2/3rd took part in its first campaign - the advance against the Italians in eastern Libya - in January 1941. It was involved in the successful attacks at Bardia (3-5 January) and Tobruk (21-22 January), and remained as part of the Tobruk garrison when the advance continued. One company of the 2/3rd was also employed to garrison Derna after its capture by the 19th Brigade on 30 January. The 2/3rd left Tobruk on 7 March, ultimately bound, with the rest of the 6th Division, for Greece.
Arriving in Greece on 19 March, the 2/3rd was soon deployed north to resist the anticipated German invasion. It occupied positions at Veria on 7 April, but a succession of withdrawals by the Allies in Greece meant that the battalion did not meet the enemy in battle until 18 April - at Tempe (Pinios) Gorge. There, the 2/3rd supported the 2/2nd Battalion and blocked German movement through the gorge, allowing the unhindered withdrawal of Allied forces further south. The 2/3rd itself was forced to withdraw again by nightfall. Its activities in Greece ended with evacuation by sea from Kalamata on 27 April. The bulk of the battalion returned to Palestine, via Egypt, but one group of 141 troops subsequently fought with the 16th Brigade Composite Battalion on Crete, after the transport carrying them away from Greece was sunk.

HQ Coy, D Coy and possible B Coy of 2/3/ Inf Bn were ordered to fight rear guard action. During heavy bombing Pt M Butt and I were separated from the rest of the crowd. After more bombing we made our way and fell in with a New Zealand convoy, but owing to heavy strafing we all scattered for cover. Later on I found myself alone and surrounded and after firing all my ammunition, surrendered after burying my rifle bolt and mille bomb.
James became P.O.W. No. 8185 and was taken to Greek Barracks Larissa and stayed there for about 3 weeks. he was transferred to Salonika, working as Medical orderly in Hospital for 5 months.

912 James worked as a drover. When his wife died he could not leave the children alone as he was away so much, Aunt Ada Tiller came and stayed to make arrangements for the children to be cared for by close family members. Effie stayed with William and Thirza Tiller, Ethel was reared by Hurtle and Meta until she was ready for High School and then she stayed with Perce and Floss Cavanagh, Thirza with William and Mary Veitch, Harry with Patrick and Ellen Cavanagh, Hurlte with Richard Tiller and William with Stan Tiller.
Stafford played football for Port Lincoln before his marriage. After he married they went to Coonalpyn, "Carooma" was possibly the name of the house. The farmland was virgin scrub and had to be cleared. Effie recalls being told that the night she was born at the William Tiller house in Balaklava, it was very, very wet night and Archibald Tiller had to go out in this to get Dr Pellow to come to the house.
The family left Balaklava when Effie was about four years old, and went to Salisbury. They lived in the Farmers' Union two storey house just north of the Heinrich Flour Mill. Whilst there Stafford worked on the railway line to Long Plains. After reaching there, he gave the railways away and worked for George Ryan Petram as Drover-stockman and did general farm duties.
The House that the family lived in was between Port Wakefield and Martins Rd on Ryans Rd., a four bed roomed cottage. There was no bathroom and they had to wash outside. In winter, the old tin bath was taken inside and water was heated on the stove. Sometimes with high tides, the se water would run back into low-lying creeks but did not affect the well area. The well used for the house was about three yards from the back of the house. When William Tiller visited he would always ask for a billy of water to be drawn, as he considered it the best he had tasted. (extract obtained from "The Tucker Family in Australia" 1992.
