Henry flew 44 trips over Nazi germany and enemy territory with the Pathfind Group. On the fateful 44th trip four planes were detailed to bomb Munster. After several unsuccessful attempts they pulled out to assess the damage. They were caught by a Nazi fighter, the plane's fuel tank was set alight and the plane blew up in 5 or 6 seconds. Henry managed to get one chute strap on and was the only member of the crew of 7 to survive. He was taken prisoner and remained one until 22/4/1945 when they were liberated by the Russians.
Henry's Military Citation reads as follows:
Honours and Awards: Distinguished Flying Medal
No. 417677 Flight Sergeant Henry Stanley Tiller
Flight Sergeant Tiller has completed many successful operational sorties, seven of these being against Berlin. In January 1944, he was mid-upper gunner in an aircraft detailed for an attack on Magdeburg. While making the bombing run the aircraft was attacked by a Messerschmid 109 but Flight Sergeant Tiller's accurate shooting and excellent directions enabled his captain to frustrate the attacker. This airman is a very efficient air gunner whose fine fighting spirit and courage have made him a valuable asset to the squadron.

Henry was a very prominent sportsman in his youth, excelling at cricket, football and later, bowls. Like so many Malle farmers he endured hard times during the depression years when poor prices and poor seasons went hand in hand. Sometimes much of the crop had to be cut for hay just to feed hungry horses and often they went to the shops in Pinnaroo with a pittance in the purse. However, he held on, to pass a thriving, prosperous farm to his sons.
In later years Henry became President of the School Committee, Pinaroo Agricultural Society, Pinnaroo South Football Club and Pinnaroo Bowling Club. He was also a J.P. He now lives with Stella in retirement in Pinnaroo. (The Tucker Family in Australia. 1992) | Tiller, Henry James (I3232)

Her grandmother (Harriett Lemon) promised that if Martha named the baby after her she would give the child a brand new dress. Thus Myrtle was endowed with her grandmother's name. She grew up on the farm at Hoyleton with the family, and attended the Hoyleton School. From a very early age, it seemed that Myrtle was put on this earth to help other people. Whenever a need arose.. there was Myrtle Tucker. she stayed at home to care for her aging parents, even though she was attracted to a young man in the district, one Albert Shrubsole, who was working for the local farmers John Charles Tucker and his son-in-law Ted Redpath. Bert Shrubsole's grandparents had arrived in the new colony of South Australia on the same ship as Myrtle's grandparents, having both sailed on the Eliza which arrived in 1849.
It is assumed that Myrtle (together with her mother, Martha Tucker, nee Lemon) shifted into Balaklava to live in 1911, as she had offered to care for her nephew, Wilfred Clarke, while his parents (Joseph and Eliza Clarke) and younger sister had sailed to England to visit relatives and to partake in the coronation of George V and Queen Mary celebrations. It was a typically unselfish offer for Myrtle to make, to shift closer to a school so that the young boy of 6 years would be saved a lot of travel to start his education.
Living at Woodlands on a farm which was called "Belair Farm" was Myrtle's brother, six years older than her, William Edmond Tucker and his wife lived in the farmhouse and had two boys, Arthur and Frank Tucker. Eva became very sick, after accidentally swallowing a bone which lodged in her lung. She had also just given birth to their eldest daughter, Doris, but after about 3 months of trying to manage the house and three children, she was unable to cope, and so her parents (Rev. Thomas and Elizabeth Adcock) came and took the baby Doris to care for her until Eva regained her health. Unfortunately this did not happen and her condition slowly got worse. About 1912/13, Myrtle decided to move into the Woodlands home of her Brother, taking Martha with her of course, and proceeded to care for the whole family; Will, Eva, Arthur, Frank and Martha. She kept house and tended to the ailing Eva, and then in 1914 when Will and Eva's youngest child, Mavis, arrived, she cared for the baby as well. Myrtle and Martha continued to live at Woodlands for several more years, but tragically in April 1917 Eva died. The family stayed at "Belair Farm" for several more years, with Myrtle at the helm, caring for them all.
About 1923, Will decided to sell"Belair Farm" and try his luck on another property near Lameroo, a place called "Beau Vale". Will's children attended the primary school there and were able to be near their father because Myrtle had taken her mother and followed Will to care, once again, for the family.
While living near Lameroo, it is understood that Will met and Married Ethel Tucker (no relation, from Blyth South Australia). The newly married couple moved to a property at Halidon, then after a disastrous land deal with another man they moved to Coorong, near Meningie. Clarence Tucker was born in 1924, and when Will and Ethel moved to Coorong, Myrtle shifted again to Meningie, so the older children could be near their father. The fleas at Meningie were in plague proportions, and children were sometimes made to sleep in the dray, in an effort to protect them from the blood-sucking insects.
By 1924/25 Martha's health was starting to fail, and as Arthur and Frank Tucker (Will's sons) had left school and were making their own way in life, Myrtle decided to take her mother back to the little house at Kybunga. This was the first home of the Tuckers at Kybunga, superceded by a larger, more convenient dwelling when Inman and Mary settled on the farm and had their family.
Myrtle had kept her promise to care for her aged parents, and thus was at last able to marry her sweetheart, Albert Shrubsole. Accounts of the event are included below.
Hoyleton April 19th A Kitchen Evening
The relatives and friends of Miss Myrtle Tucker, of Hoyleton, tendered her a kitchen evening on Friday night, April 16th, in view of her approaching marriage with Mr Bert Shrubsole. Items were rendered by Misses McSkimming, McCabe and H. Redpath. Mr J Clarke handed over to Miss Tucker the many useful kitchen articles presented by her many friends and wished her all future happiness. Miss Tucker suitably responded. Dancing and Games were followed by a supper......
A Rainbow Wedding: Shrubsole - Tucker
A very pretty wedding was celebrated in the Woodlands Methodist Church on Wednesday April 21st when Myrtle, youngest daughter of the late Mr and Mrs Wm Tucker, of Hoyleton, was married to Bert, eldest son of Mr W Shrubsole, of Halbury. The Rev W.O. Harris of Balaklava officiated and Miss Mary Clarke, niece of the bride, presided at the organ. The church was prettily decorated by friends of the bride with fern, and lemon, lavender and pale blue streamers, and from a bridal arch was suspended a large wedding bell, and on either side of the arch were the bride and groom's initials. The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her uncle (Mr John Tucker) looked charming in a frock of white marocain, daintily trimmed with silver lace. Her court train, suspended from the shoulders, was embroidered with silver horse shoes and true lovers' knots at the corners. The bridal veil, which was embroidered, was worn cap fashion, with the orthodox wreath of orange blossoms. She carried a dainty bouquet of white Flowers with satin streamers. The first bridesmaid, miss Mary Coulls, of Adelaide, (niece of the bride), was frocked in lemon crepe de chine, trimmed with rosettes and flowers. She wore a silver headband. The flower girl, Mavis Tucker, (niece of the bride) was in a pale blue frock of crepe de chine. She carried a basket filled with fern and flowers. Mr Stan Shrubsole (brother of the bridegroom) was best man and Mr Frank Tucker (nephew of the bride) was groomsman. During the signing of the register a solo 'Because' was rendered by Miss Hazel Redpath. A lucky horseshoe was hung on the bride's arm by her little niece, Phyllis Banks. The bridegroom's gift to the 1st bridesmaid was a camera and to the 2nd a signet ring. The reception was held in the Kybunga Hall which had been decorated in rainbow colours by friends of the bride and bridegroom. 80 guests sat down to the wedding breakfast. The Rev W.0. Harris proposed the toast to the bride and groom, to which the bridegroom responded. Later the happy couple left for Balaklava, en route for Kangaroo Island, where the honeymoon will be spent. The bride's travelling dress was of grey crepe de chine, with hat to match. The bride and groom received many very useful gifts including several cheques.
Myrtle and Bert lived in a small pug and pine dwelling on the property of John Charles Tucker, near the home of Ted and Mary Redpath. Sadly Bert died after only three months of marriage, his heart weakened by rheumatic fever as a young man. Myrtle gave up the tiny home she and Bert had shared, and gave her prized possession, the Jersey cow called "Brownie" to her older sister Eliza Clarke.
Eventually about 1928, John Charles Tucker (brother of Myrtle's father) decided to retire to the city and purchased a house in Prospect. Myrtle was offered the position as housekeeper and carer. Lovingly and conscientiously she cared for her uncle, continued to care for Mavis, and always welcomed and cared for any of the family who needed accommodation.
She was a devout Christian, attended the Prospect Church of Christ, and faithfully followed the teachings of her Lord. Sometimes she was able to take a short holiday from caring for the folk at Prospect, and would invariably travel to Kybunga, and Zulu Farm, to help her sister Eliza on the farm. Her help in this regard was especially appreciated during the time after Alfred Clark's first wife Clara (nee Field) died, as Eliza was endeavouring to keep things running smoothly at Zulu Farm, and also care for the four remaining children at Clarunga; Isla, Ralph, Marion and Gwen.
Sometimes she was able to take a short holiday interstate with other members of the family on a Christian Curch witness. In October 1935, Myrtle, together with Eliza Clarke, Marj and Arthur Adcock, Mary Clarke, Mary Redpath and Mavis Tucker travelled to see the Jenolan Caves.
Win Sulley remembers Auntie Myrtle: " In retrospect I think as a young teenager I viewed Auntie Myrtle through a sentimental haze. The delaying of her marriage to care for her parents, her husband's death when they had only been married three months, and her subsequent caring for her brother Will's children all had a sadness to it that bordered on the romantic. In actual fact she was down to earth and a genuinely caring person. My first memories of here were when she lived at Prospect keeping house for her Uncle John. Other vivid memories of here were when Grandma Clarke (her sister) was ill at our place (Croydon). Auntie Myrtole came, slept on a cot in Grandma's room, and helped Daisy with the nursing and cared for us all. Later memories still, were of the small financial fights she faithfully sent to me in Japan. I knew it spelt sacrifice for her and was precious both to me and I am sure to her Lord, whom she loved and served all her life. Indeed I would venture to say that her religious faith was the basis of her unselfish life."
As well as her caring and unselfish outlook on life, she was embued with a delightful sense of humour. The "little" children from Allenby Gardens would eagerly anticipate a visit to prospect to see Auntie Myrtle. When tales were told to delight Myrtle, she would throw her hands in the air, and with a wicked grin on her face, declare, "Hallelujah!" After the death of Myrtle's Uncle John, she continued to live in the house at Prospect, but only in one half, renting the other half to a Miss Gregor. Mavis Terrace (nee Tucker) lovingly cared for her Aunt until her death in 1973.
70th Birthday at Prospect
Friends and relatives of Mrs M Shrubsole arranged the birthday party held in honour of her 70th birthday in the Church of Christ Assembly Hall Prospect on October 3rd. It will be remembered that Mrs Shrubsole lived for many years in the Woodlands district before moving to Adelaide following the death of her husband Mr Bert Shrubsole. Two of Mrs Shrubsole's sisters, Mesdames F.W. Bakes and T. Day contributed to the programme with several duets and there also were games and dancing. At supper congratulations were offered from those present, and the guest of honour cut the lovely cake, while the assembled gathered sang "happy birthday". Mrs Shrubsole, who received a nice lot of gifts, responded to the expressions of best wishes and offered her sincere thanks for such a wonderful gathering.
Finally at the age of 84 years, and after a lifetime of service to her lord and to others, Myrtle relinquished her earthly life. She died peacefully in her sleep, the effect of a heart attack, and was buried in the Kybunga cemetery next to her husband. Although she never had any children of her own, the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of her brothers and sisters mourned the sad loss of their Aunt, but rejoiced in the knowledge that she had been part of their lives.

Her outstanding characteristic was her interest in people, neighbors congregated at her house, family, friends and acquaintances alike. As a young girl, she worked for Mr Cheeseman, North Terrace, Adelaide as a dental nurse, her husband had migrated from Wales and had a t first worked on farms around the Kybunga area, accepting also labouring jobs in the building of the Clarke family home called "Clarunga". He enlisted in the Army on 3/9/1914, aged 21 1/2, although he told the army he was 22 1/2. As a member of the 12th Infantry (army no.688) he took part in the landing at Gallipoli. After his discharge he and Daisy married and went to live at Scott's Creek, on an orchard, under a resettlement programme. During the Depression, this property was lost, and the Sullys moved to live at Croydon where Fred gained employment with the Highways Dept. Painting signs for motorists. Daisy was very family-oriented, and brought up her three children in a loving, close=knit Christian home. She always welcomed her nieces and nephews, brothers and sister to stay, often giving them accommodation at very short notice, and often late at night. Daisy also cared for her own mother during her final illness, and was the pivot round which the wider family kept in touch with each other. Her Christian faith was very important to her. She was a member firstly of the Hindmarsh Church of Christ, and on returning from Scott's Creek to Croydon, she joined the Croydon Church of Christ, and was for many years a Sunday School teacher. Nieces and nephew (some of whom boarded with her or school or work) absolutely adored her. Both Fred and Daisy encouraged their sons and grandchildren in sporting activities, like cricket and more often, football, and as both their sons played football for the West Torrens Football Club, they were fanatical supporters.

History - original Bunbury Public Cemetery
Bunbury Cemetery was gazetted on 27 August 1847. Although the lot had been set aside during Assistant Surveyor H M Ommaney’s 1841 survey, it was not allocated a dedicated lot number and was simply known as the ‘Burial Ground’. A later map, drawn by Mitchell and Taylor in 1863, referred to it as ‘the Old Burial Ground’. Located on the western side of what was named ‘The Russell Esplanade’, the site took up a large area between Simmons Street (as it was named in the first survey, now Symmons Street) and Wellington Street, and extended towards Rocky Point.
The original Bunbury Cemetery was officially used between 1847 and 1925 as a Protestant Cemetery vested with the Church of England. Health concerns and impending overcrowding prompted the Church to transfer control of the cemetery to the Bunbury Council, who later voted to close the cemetery and open a larger one on the ‘outskirts’ of town (now part of suburbia) in 1914.
Council campaigned for all graves and headstones to be relocated to the new cemetery (off Forrest Avenue) but all costs were to be borne by relatives. However the harsh economic times, followed by World War I, made it impossible for many to achieve this. The headstones remained at Prinsep Street throughout the 1940s, and Council made a concerted effort for all remains to be cleared from the old cemetery in the 1950s. The majority, but not all, were relocated at this time and in 1985, Council addressed the issue of the remaining graves. By this time, the remaining headstones had been vandalised and Council moved them to the new cemetery.
The headstones from the Original Bunbury Cemetery are now located in rows of ‘pioneer headstones’, placed side by side on an elevated embankment, at the new Bunbury Cemetery.
The old Bunbury Cemetery is now public open space named ‘Pioneer Park’ in recognition of its former use as a burial ground for many of Bunbury’s first settlers. A timber plaque near the Wellington Street entrance reminds visitors of the earlier use. There is now also a commemorative structure which includes a list of names of people believed to have been buried at the site | Bell, Arthur Wesley Lionel (I178)

Hurtle Joined the 50th Battalion on 7th Aug 1917 and was immediately thrown into action. The 50th Battalion was part of the the Third Battle of Ypres which commenced in July 1917 and lasted until the 10 November 1917, They fought in the Battle of Polygon Wood between 26 September to 3 October 1917. On 10 October 1917 they were ordered to take up positions near Zonnebeke, Belgium. They experienced moderate hostile artillery with heavy bursts during the day. The weather was very wet and the ground very muddy. On 13th October 1917 the company was ordered to the front and to take up positions at Broodseinde Ridge. The Commanding Officers entry in the war diary for the 15th of October 1917 States "Scattered Shelling by enemy during day. Mid Afternoon enemy began shelling 150 yards in front of our line. At 8 pm a patrol from our line worked forward about 800 yards without encountering enemy. Enemy was then shelling about 1100 yards forward of our line and his flares were going up 1500 yards from us. Enemy apparently has fallen back from the ground in front of us to Kelberg Ridge 2000 yards east of our line. Enemy shelled Broodseinde Ridge continuously during night. Winds above normal, ground drying. A & B coy relieved by C & D Copy 9:30pm. casualties: Killed Officers 1 Other Ranks 42, Wounded Officers 1 Other Ranks 99, Sick Other Ranks 29, Total Casualties during tour Officers 2 Other Ranks 170.
The company had taken heavy casualties and was short of stretcher- Bearers. Pte Sevenson stated to the Red Cross that he heard Hemesley Marshman volunteer to fill the gap in Stretcher Bearers, as the Battalion had been badly knocked about. Hemsley, with 3 others were carrying a wounded man down the duck boards, when a shell burst near them, killing Hemsley and mortally wounding Lance Cpl Stevenson, one of the other stretcher Bearers carrying the stretcher with him. He said Marshman was killed instantaneously. The 4th Stretcher-Bearer got clear unwounded. They were near the Dressing Station when Hemsley was killed. A red cross investigation was instigated to determine where Hemsley was buried. The Chaplain 52nd Battalion stated that he buried Hemsley at Zonnebeke on 16 Oct 1917 (Map reference S1 22.c1.1) in a small soldiers cemetery, just outside the dressing station (Soda Water Factory).

Ida was the eldest of three children and grew up on a dairy farm. She did all her schooling at Monteith, walking 2.5 miles over dirt roads. In winter there were big pools of water and mud, so they took their shoes to change into when they got to school. Before the hall was built they walked the same distance to Sunday School on Sundays.
Ida remembered many happy times at dances, concerts and card evenings, strawberry fetes being the highlight after the Hall was finished. She played tennis when she was young but admitted she was not good at it. When she was 18 her parents bought a farm firstly at Naturi and then moved to Renmark, South Australia. She went to Keyneton, South Australia, where she worked as a companion to Mrs Annie Evans for three years until she married Frank.
Ida was a homemaker and having three babies in 14 months must have kept her very busy. She made all their clothes. She loved gardening and flowers and for many years did an arrangement each Sunday for the church at Coomandook. Many people could testify to having a posy from Ida, picked from her garden and lovingly arranged. While at Coomandook she taught Sunday School for many years and attended Ladies' Guild and Country Womans Association (C.W.A.) these she continued and also worked for Resthaven Auxilliary when she moved to Murray Bridge. She enjoyed visiting friends, knitting crocheting, cooking and potting plants for trading tables. She was active in all these activities as well as driving her car until 3 weeks before her hospitalization and death in Royal Adelaide Hospital, aged 79 years. | Green, Ida Mary (I3869)

In 1909, Clarices' father, Fred decided to take the children and go to Western Australia. However, it seems that young Frederick Duncan who had known no mother but his grandmother refused to leave. He lay down on the train platform and his father and two sisters had to leave without him. They travelled in the train to Melbourne and then on the ship "Dimboola" to Geraldton. On arriving in Geraldton Fred approached a man on the wharf and asked him if he would look after Clarice who was then only 8. The man went home and asked his wife who agreed. So for 10 to 12 years Clarice was brought up by the Bells. Dad Bell was a Plummer in Post Office Lane; Clarice, made the seventh child, Illma lived separately and worked in a bakehouse for the Brayshaws. Fred suffered from asthma, so left Geraldton and travelled north to find work.
Clarice remembers playing in the snow at Daysford, Victoria and being sick and frightened on the ship that brought her, her father and Illma to Geraldton Western Australia. Clarice learned to play the piano by ear. She is still alive in 1992. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992) | Wilkins, Ethel Clarice Veronica (I5548)
