These photocopies tell the story of the initial tasking for the Australian Survey Corps to assist with the surveying for the Snowy River Diversion Surveys that was to become one of the largest National Developments within Australia "The Snowy River Hydro Electric Scheme". The role that the Australian Survey Corps would perform for National Development Projects was just being developed with the post WWII capability and manpower. The initial Surveys conducted by the Australian Survey Corps were significant in preliminary planning that allowed the project to proceed. These directives were written by Colonel L. Fitzgerald, OBE in July 1946 who was Director of the Australian Survey Corps from June 1942 – January 1960 where he directed The LHQ Cartographic Coy (Bendigo) to Photogrammetrically plot detail of the Kosciusko 1 Mile sheet area and for 5 Fd Survey Coy (Chatswood, Sydney) to establish horizontal and vertical control. It also required the Deputy Assistant Director of Military Survey, Eastern Command, at Victoria Barracks in Sydney to liaise with the NSW Lands Dept for existing control. Both the DAD of Military Survey Lt. Col. HPG Clews and the OC Major H.F. Eggeling were to go onto serve with the Snowy Mountains Authority (SMA) both significantly contributing to the success of the project. This extract is from the book “The Major” Lt. Col. Hugh Powell Gough Clews by Noel R Gough which can be found on the Survey Corps web site "rasvy.org.au/History" "When the war ended 2nd Field Survey Coy was broken up. Clews had already been promoted to the position of Deputy Assistant Director of Military Survey, Eastern Command, at Victoria Barracks in Sydney. Late in 1945, I (John Cavill) was posted to 5 Fd Svy Coy at Chatswood in Sydney, under the command of Major H.F. Eggeling: the same Major "Bert" Eggeling who was to become, in 1949, the Chief Surveyor and creator of the Survey Branch of the Snowy Mountains Authority. Clews joined the SMA in January 1950; I (John Cavill) followed in April the same year. It is unfortunate that, because of some confusion over the title "Major", a myth has grown up (outside Snowy circles) that Clews was in charge of all the surveys on the Snowy. The existence of that myth does great injustice to the other "Major"; the one that designed, set up and ran the branch through the most difficult first four years of its existence: Major Bert Eggeling." Both "Majors" contributed significantly but in different ways, Clews conducted much of the extremly difficult field surveys.Two x A4 Photocopies of original typed pages of text, stapled top LH corner.Whilst the photocopy is unclear the document appears to be signed by Colonel L.

Ill, p.151non-fictionPeter Firkins has produced a heroic figure comparable in courage and selflessness to that of the legendary 'Weary' Dunlop, and whose story should be known by all Australians in the same way. What a wonderful epitaph to a man born into a humble Yass family at the end of the nineteenth century who, by his own determination and intellect, won a scholarship for his secondary education at St Patrick's College, Goulburn and an Exhibition to study medicine at Sydney University. Almost by pure chance he pursued his medical career in an outpost of the British Empire then known as British North Borneo to become Principal Medical Officer at the time of the Japanese occupation during World War II. The Japanese allowed the civilian medical staff to remain at their posts with the status of 'simple confinement' while at the same time the bewildered local people looked to someone for leadership in their new and unaccustomed circumstances.Aided by his wonderful wife Celia he was imperceptibly drawn into the key role of organising the underground movement among loyal native and giving support to the Australian Prisoners of War transferred to Borneo from Singapore. In 1943 he was exposed to the Japanese, arrested and terribly tortured. Donated by Major General M.P.J. O'Brien, July 2018.
