The Wharncliffe Companion to Ipswich: An A to Z of Local History

He would not return until and the family turned on quite a celebration for him at their home in Lenthall Street, Kensington Sydney. Fred Fisher is pictured bookmarked by his parents and his brother Les is in the background with girlfriend Norah Keane. Many years later a relative approached the new owner of the property to see if they could look inside the house, and there on the wall was this photo -the new owners had always left it hanging in the hall.

Les and Norah would marry and raise a family. Although Fred also married he had no children. The men would live in adjacent houses in Snape Street, Maroubra for the rest of their lives. This photo was taken in the Sydney Town Hall near the end of the war. Les and Norah are among the crowd. Image from Wikipedia commons http: Even more it was all about going to church again, and again, and again. Even as a very good child I found this all a bit overwhelming. There was the Holy Thursday celebration with washing of the feet something which has generated controversy for Pope Francis , and after Mass, the adoration of the Eucharist.

What fun…South African yellow cod…one of my favourite delicacies…not! Saturday involved confession and then the Easter Vigil Mass at midnight. This was a high Mass with white vestments and much grandeur and celebration. The Paschal candle was lit and this would be used throughout the year during church celebrations and baptisms.

Living in a sub-tropical city the change of seasons was immaterial. It was only when Easter was late that there might have been a nip in the night air as autumn approached. What was more exciting was that Lent had come to an end…alleluia! Mum told me recently that her Protestant aunt a grandmother substitute for me as mine had died , used to give me little tea cups during Lent rather than buy lollies.

I also had Easter egg cups from her which I passed on to my grandchildren a couple of years ago. What I do remember are those candy Easter eggs with frilly icing around the edge and an icing flower in the middle, something like this modern-day version. We lived in Papua New Guinea when our two older children were young and the chocolate eggs which arrived were invariably stale so we got into the habit of buying the kids something special in Swiss chocolate like a foil-wrapped chocolate orange.

My grandchildren are happy to indulge in Swiss chocolates at any time of year. Nor was it a tradition when our children were smaller — after all how to reconcile all the tie demands of church-going with camping. Besides which the weather is invariably unpredictable except in the likelihood of rain. There was the year we took ourselves off to Cairns for Easter leaving the teen and adult daughter behind.

While we were sunning ourselves and lazing in the pool, Brisbane had a cracker storm and one of our big eucalypts quietly subsided onto the roof without any damage other than bent guttering. Mr Cassmob remembers our first Easter together when we drove out along Milne Bay to the mission at Ladava for Easter Saturday Mass and saw the moon rise over the bay.

On our first trip to Europe we were in Florence for Easter and were delightedly surprised by the traditional celebration that occurs there , Scoppio del Carro. Rather than try to explain this complex process and its symbolism why not read this article? The owner of the pension arranged for her husband to stay up to let us in after midnight Mass which was kind of her.

There were two interesting events in the midst of the service, at least to us. Firstly people just wandered around through the Duomo cathedral during the Mass, and secondly when it came time for the Bishop to pour out water from the pitcher, it was completely empty — much flurrying as an acolyte had to rush off and fill it up. One of my all time family favourites. On our second trip to Europe with darling daughters 1 and 2, we were in Lucerne for Easter.

It was also spectacular because overnight on the Thursday or Friday, there was a huge snowfall which got even heavier later on. The girls got to make their first snowmen and have a mini-snowfight. On Easter Sunday we headed off by train on the next stage of our journey. I particularly love a photo I have of the two munchkins in Interlaken taken while we waited for the next train.

And yes, despite warnings, they did of course go off into the snow and get their shoes wet even though we had an overnight train trip ahead of us. We met up with DD3 and partner and gadded around, taking our chances with Italian traffic. One day we visited the lovely village of Montepulciano where we saw the delicious Easter treats in the window of Caffe Poliziano. Easter Mass was celebrated in grand style with a cluster of clergy and a huge crowd of people.

Afterwards we had booked Easter lunch — about five courses, all huge. Easter Mass in Assisi with a massive outdoor congregation and al fresco Mass. No Easter eggs were bought as the smallest people had reached their quota of sugar-hit and as family were off on a bush adventure we had a quiet day catching up on blogs etc. I think I missed the Easter celebration gene. The Italians do Easter treats more glamorously than anyone.

Postcard dated 12 December Postcard sent 22 December An ironic legacy Thomas Cutting died from bronchitis at his home at Uraidla, South Australia, on 1 September at the age of eighty, leaving six children, three from each of his two marriages.

In he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant his decorations including both the Iron Cross and the Knight's Cross.

He took an active part in the German Spring Offensive of His inconsolable mother wrote a severe letter to her German cousins so closing the door on over half a century of correspondence between the German and Australian sides of the family.

Cutting's age is given as 16yrs 8mths 5days which accords precisely with his date of birth in the Playford Baptism register but there are other references to his being commissioned on 9 January.

Now, had the greater part of the income for timber licences, as we, I think, had a right to expect, and our due share of the rate collected amongst us, been judiciously expended in the formation and in the repair of our roads, we should with respect thereto, I feel confident, have been more pleasantly situated, and have had little reason to give utterance to complaints that are but too well founded Singlular Lives, University of Iowa Press, , Alfred James Cummins 43rd Battalion was a grandson of Thomas Cutting and descended from his second marriage.
