Family 1 : Alma BATES
[152] JAMES ARTHUR BATES
23 March 1894 - 7 June 1967
James Arthur was the first child of Thomas and Una Mary (nee
Roser) BATES. He was born at Gouldsville, near Singleton in the N.S.W.
Hunter Valley, near the Putty Road (this road connects Singleton
to Sydney) Registration No.30685. He was baptised on 15 April
1894 at St. Philips Church of England, Warkworth, Parish of
Whittingham, County of Northumberalnd, By Reverend E.Huband-Smith.
The occupation of his father was given as a Farmer of Bulga, N.S.W.
He attended the local Bulga School and was an good student having
very good handwriting. As there were numerous James' in the Bates
family he was better known by his second name ARTHUR.
On leaving school he obtained work in the local area, and with
his early wages he installed a "Fresh Water" tank on
his parent's "OAKLEIGH" home. This was a first for his
parents, as their water was carried from the dam.... which was
reported to be of the "purest" water! He also paid for
the installation of wooden floors for the front two rooms of the
homestead. "OAKLEIGH" was a 45 acre portion of what was
originally his Grandfather Thomas BATES (1/12/1841 - 3/1/1914)
property called "OAKVALE" consisting of 270 acres
opposite "NORTH CHARLTON" at Bulga.
His major interest included the game of Cricket and was part of
the "Bates Cricket Team", which was actually the Bulga
Cricket Team but every palyer, including the Umpires were Bates
or relatives of the Bates. After the second World War the Bates'
Cricket Team was challanged by the Singleton "A" Grade
team, the Bates' were lead to Victory by Arthur's younger brother
Bill, who had just returned from being released as a P.O.W. .
In 1914 the First World War broke out and as one had to be 21
years of age to be posted overseas, Arthur had to wait a while, (although
some presume that he put his age up to enlist). He officially
enlisted 7 August, 1915 at Newcastle N.S.W. Regimental Number
1678. He was then 21 years, 4 months. Height 5 feet 7 1/4 inches
(1681mm) Weight 150lbs. Chest measurement was 32 inches and
expanded to 35 1/2 inches. Fair complexion, blue eyes, Light
brown hair. Denomination; Church of England. He went into camp at
Newcastle on Saturday 21 August 1915 and on the 2 September he
was posted to Holsworthy Camp and then onto Liverpool Camp 5
October 1915.
His final leave commenced Thursday 18 November 1915 and returned
to Liverpool Army Camp 23 November 1915. He was already keeping
company with a Grazier's daughter from Howes Valley, Mary Jane
Gibbs, and the information of his leave came from her Birthday
Booklet kept by their daughter Barbara Florence. He was posted to
2nd Reinforcement Company, 30th Battalion, Australian Infantry
Forces, 1 December 1915 in Liverpool, Sydney. N.S.W.
The unit embarked from Sydney on the transport "Berrima"
on Friday 17 December 1915 and he was taken on strength 13th
Battalion A.I.F. 4 March 1916 and posted to 4th Sanitary Section
at "Tel-el-kebir, Egypt". On the 2 June 1916 the ship
landed them at Egypt and the Battalion proceeded to join the
"British Expeditionary Forces" from Alexandria, Egypt
by the Troop Ship "Ivana". Disembarking at "Marsailles,
France" on 8 June 1916.
Arthur was accidentally wounded to the head in France 8 September
1916, Mary Jane Gibbs' book shows this as occuring 7 August 1916,
whilst he was guarding Transport Wagons. The Commanding Officer
13 Battalion, Lt.Col. J.M.A. Durral states that the soldier was
on duty at the time of the incident and was in no way to blame.
He was sent to hospital sick "in the field" 10
September 1916. On 13 September 1916 he was shipped from Boulogne
and admitted to Ontario Military Hospital, Orphington, Kent,
England 14 September, discharged 16 October for furlough and to
report to Perham Downs 31 October 1916.
On 16 November 1916 he was admitted to Brigade Hospital suffering
from V.D. and transferred to Bulford Hospital, V.D. Ward on the
10 December 1916 until 13 February 1917 for some 90 days in
quarantine.
On the 22 March 1917 Mary Jane recieved a photograph of him in
his uniform. He was taken on strength 61st Battalion A.I.F. 23
March 1917 from 13th Battalion and on 29 April he was transfered
back to 13th Battalion to proceed overseas to France via
Folkestore ex Infantry Draft, Perham Downs to reinforce 13th
Battalion which he rejoined 15 May 1917.
On 17 October 1917 he was Seriously Wounded by Shell Gas, legend
has it that during conflict near "Ypres, Belgium" he
was both badly wounded and gassed... laying for 2 to 3 days,
unattended in "No Man's Land"!! His casualty form
simply states that he was gassed in Belgium, but there is no
mention of him being left in "No Man's Land". He was
some ten days later, embarked on HS "Panama" ex France
to England 27 October 1917 and admitted to 3rd Southern General
Hospital, Oxford, England on 30 October 1917. Mary Jane recieved
information to this effect from Arthur's father Thomas Bates.
On the 19 November, he was transfered to 3rd Auxiliary Hospital
Gas Poisoned Unit from which he was subsequently discharged on
the 23 November 1917 for furlough and to report to No.3 Com.
Depot, Hurdcott, 7 December 1917. He was transfered from No.3 to
No.4 Com. Depot and then to No.2 Com. Depot, Weymouth on 18
January 1918. Arthur was never to loose his "cough"
from being gassed, his injuries must have been severe as on 31
January 1918 he was shipped out embarking per "A8" on
"H.M.A.T. Osterley" from England to Australia, arriving
in Sydney 13 April 1918. The reason given was "Change.
Disordered Heart Action".
He was subsequently discharged from the "Australian Imperial
Forces" in consequence of "Medical Unfitness" on
21 June 1918.
James Arthur BATES qualified and received the following medals:-
1914/15 Star, British War Medal No.28576 and Victory Medal No.28183,
these were dispatched to him 23 March 1923. Two of these medals
are currently in the possesion of his and Alma's son James Arthur
Alexander BATES, and when last seen were devoid of their ribbons
and kept in a tin. These medals need to have new ribbons attached
to them so that they can be worn by a direct decendent at annual
ANZAC Day Celebrations.
His friends in the Singleton District also presented him with a
rememberance medalion, this medalion has the Rising Sun
Australian Commonwealth Imperial Forces emblem set upon a cross
on the front side whilst the reverse has the inscription "Presented
to Pte. J.A. Bates, From his Singleton Chums On his return from
Active Service Abroad 5.6.18, 2 1/2 yrs service. This medalion is
in the care of Barry Witt, Grandson and son of Marie Witt (nee
Bates), Arthur and Mary Jane's third daughter.
Arthur returned to his parent's "Oakleigh" home at the
cross-roads of the Bulga to Singleton Road and the Warkworth to
Broke Road, near Singleton in the N.S.W. Hunter Valley and
married Mary Jane Gibbs from Howes Valley on the 18 December 1918
at the Methodist Church, Singleton. They were both 24 years of
age. The Certificate of Marriage shows that he was a Coal Miner,
living at Caswell, via Singleton. N.S.W. His bride Mary Jane is
shown as being a Domestic Duties of Putty, via Singleton. N.S.W.
Her father George Henry Gibbs was a Grazier and her mother was
Catherine (Harris) of Putty, via Singleton. (Putty is a small
hamlet situated midway along the Singleton to Windsor Road). On
her Marriage Certificate she misspelt her signature on the back
as Mary Jane Gibs. Arthur's parents were Thomas Bates, Station
Manager, and his mother was Una Mary (Roser) of Bulga via
Singleton. The witnesses on the certificate are Frederick Tacon (his
sister Nellie May's Husband) and his other sister Kathleen Mary
Bates.
Following their marriage they lived and worked on a Dairy Farm
along the Broke Road. They were share farmers on this farm. It
was here that their family, Mildred, Florence, Marie, Ettie and
Joyce were born. There was some conjecture regarding the
ownership and disposal of the Dairy Farm with some thinking that
Arthur may have sold the property from underneath Mary Jane and
her daughters. This is incorrect as the family was as poor as
could be and never owned any property whatsoever and they only
worked the farm on a shared basis for the owner. Although it is
true that he did leave them destitute with only a horse and a
buggy.
His daughter Marie Irene remembers that when her mother came home
from hospital after the birth of Joyce, it was a Saturday, and as
this was the day that Cricket was played by the Bates Family,
Arthur left Mary Jane, by herself, to milk the cows for the
afternoon milking (and they used to milk by hand in those days)
so that he did not miss out on his sport.
Arthur had a liason with an Ivy Sarah Ann Medhurst during the
latter part of the marriage, at least whilst Mary Jane was
pregnant with Joyce, as he fathered a daughter Bertha May (Betty)
to Ivy, who was born 27 March 1928, only six months and three
weeks after Joyce was born to Mary Jane. The discovery that
Arthur had been unfaithful led to the marriage breaking up. And
as this was during the Great Depression, Arthur with Ivy Medhurst
left to find work in Sydney. Mary Jane, who was reputed never to
be "very Strong", left the Dairy and moved with her
daughters to Maitland Road, Singleton. Mary Jane died 26 July
1940 and is buried at the Harris' Family Plot, which is behind
where the Howes Post Office was situated, this Post Office is now
a Bed & Breakfast. Her father George Henry Gibbs and her
Mother Catherine (Harris) are also buried there. The Post office
is now a Bed and Breakfast Accomodation House. When her daughter
Mildred Pearl passed away her ashes were placed in the grave with
her. A headstone (from pottery clay, glazed and fired, made by
Nancy Ann Halbesma another of Arthur's daughters born to Alma
Bates) has been placed on the grave with Mildred's details.
There is no official record of Ivy Medhurst's involment with
Arthur until he enlisted in the Militia Forces in Sydney 22 April
1936 (the Militia Forces was a voluntary part time Civilian
Military Force used to supplement the Regular Army). On the
Attestation Form to enlist "he gave his age as 39 years and
1 month, being born 23 March 1897, making himself three (3) years
younger than he actually was". It was on this form that the
name of "Ivy Bates" is shown as his "wife",
living at Park Road, East Hills near Sydney, N.S.W.. He was
recommended by a Private Baker to join the Militia. The Medical
Examination Form showed that he had a gunshot wound to the
forehead. He gave his address the same as that for his "wife"
Mrs. Ivy Bates.
He was inducted into the 56th Battalion until 19 July 1937 when
he was transfered to 55/53rd Battalion until his discharge on the
19 September 1938 for a total service of 2 years, 4 months and 27
days. His Army Number was then 424964.
Ivy had two more children by him a daughter Madge (Midge) born 17
November 1929 and a son James Keith born 12 November 1933 (we
will refer to him as Keith), Bertha was christened a Medhurst,
the other two children were christened as Bates. Ivy left him,
one source says it was because she could no longer put up with
the way he was treating her and Arthur returned to Singleton,
living with his sister Maude (Una Maude), who was married to Viv
Harris, and worked in "Handy-man" positions. Later Ivy
sent the children to him because she had got herself involved
with a man called Darcy Caldwell. The younger daughter, Madge,
remembers travelling from Sydney to Singleton by train without
their mother. Maude's daughter Thelma remembers that she and the
two girls shared the one bed but this was only a temporary
situation. Arthur also asked his estranged wife, Mary Jane, if
she could take the children and look after them, apparently the
three children were looked after by her for a time and maybe the
boy Keith stayed a little longer, as she already had her
daughters to look after and also she was very ill with asthma.
Arthur and Mary Jane's daughter, Marie remembers the children and
looking after Keith.
Keith spent some twelve months at the Church of England Orphanage
near the Railway Station at Lochinvar, a small hamlet North of
Maitland, where he was delivered by his Mother and his Uncle
Harold Taylor on a dark and rainy night in a truck which had roll
down side curtains instead of wind up windows. This orphanage is
no longer in existance and is now a private property. Madge was
placed in a Church of England Orphanage at Waratah, a suburb of
Newcastle, whilst Bertha was placed in the care of relatives at
Putty near Singleton possibly with her mother's reletives the
Cafe family. After some twelve months Ivy removed the children
from where they were and took them with her to Sydney where she
was working.
At a reunion of Arthur's children and their families, held the
week-end of the 25/26 May 1996 at Cessnock and Kurri Kurri in the
Hunter Valley, Madge recalls that her father Arthur was a bit of
gambler (which Bates isn't) and he used to send "Us Kids"
through some scrub to put bets on, probably with an S.P. Bookie.
He used to say, "Get going you little Bastards", and
they used to rush to place the bets. (An S.P. Bookie was an
illegal Bookmaker who took bets on the sly and paid out on a
winner at the last quoted price before the race commenced. Hence
S.P. was short for Starting Price.)
On the 12 October 1939 after the outbreak of the Second World
War, Arthur again enlisted in the Army at Broadmeadow, N.S.W. and
was inducted by a Captain W.V. Bevan. This time his Army Number
was N67858 and he gave his next of kin as Mary Jane Bates, Living
at Maitland Road, Singleton. The relationship shown was that of
his wife. He gave his own address as 11 Vuew Street, Singleton
where he was living with his sister Maude Harris. He was
classified as unfit for Active Service due to his age, his date
of birth this time was back to the correct 23 March 1894. He gave
his Active Service details as being in Egypt and France (They
missed out on Belguim). On the 14 October 1939 he was posted to 2nd
Garrison Battalion at Fort Wallace, a Coastal Protection Garrison
overlooking the sea at Newcastle, N.S.W. He was later posted to 8th
Garrison Battalion on the 13 Nevember 1940.
On the 4th March 1941 Arthur was admitted to Newcastle District
Hospital suffering from a Spinal Cyst, he was transfered to New
Lambton Convalescent Home on the 11 March 1941 and discharged
from Hospital 18 March 1941. The New Lambton Convalescent Home
was demolished around 1990 and is now the site of the John Hunter
Hospital. Around mid 1941 he got involved with a married woman
named Alma Brown, whose maiden name was also Bates. Her family
came from the Dubbo/Mudgee region, whose forebearers come to
Australia as Brickmakers 24 June 1856. The reason he got involved
with Alma is also quite a story, but this may have to be told at
a later date. Later that year on 15 December 1941 he was
transfered to 20th Garrison Battalion. Alma left her husband
Raynor Gordon Brown and she bore Arthur a girl child Elizabeth
Pearl on 20 August 1942, who was born in Newcastle.
He was posted to 16th Australian Garrison Battalion, a Prisoner
of War Battalion, based at Hay in the N.S.W. Central West,
guarding both Japanese and Italion Prisoners of War, on 26
September 1942. His Uncle Charles Andrew (Andy) was also posted
to the same prisoner of war camp. He gave his address as at 6
March 1943, for both himself and his wife Mary Jane as 85 Austin
Street, Lane Cove, N.S.W. As Mary Jane Bates died 26 July 1940
she could not have been his wife at this time. His army records
do record her death.Alma moved to Hay with him and they were
Billited by the Army to live with Mr. Jack and Mrs. Julie Lewaar
(now Mrs. Julie Shakespear, living on Wallis Island on the Myall
Lakes N.S.W.), during the time of his duty at the Prisoner of War
Camp. There they had two more children, their second child a
daughter named Nancy Ann, so named by Mrs. Lewaar, was born on
the 9 February 1944 and then a son named James Arthur Alexander
who was born on 30 April 1945. Arthur must have never mentioned
to Alma the fact that he had a middle family and already had a
son with the first christian name of James. Alma also miscarried
twins after the birth of Jim.
To help her care for the children Alma arranged for her youngest
daughter, Kathleen, from her marriage to Raynor Brown to spend a
"Holiday" with them at Hay before the birth of Nancy.
This holiday turned out to be a permanent baby-sitting job for
Kathleen until she decided to return to her father back in
Newcastle sometime before Arthur was demobbed and he and Alma
left Hay.
Money seemed to be a big problem as some of Arthur's pay was
redirected as maintenance to his and Mary Jane's two younger
children, Ettie and Joyce, who were in the care of an aunt Elsie
Vera Norman (nee Gibbs), Mary Jane's sister. They lived at an
area called Soldier's Settlement, (small farmlets granted to
Returned Soldiers from WW 1) which is situated on the Maitland
side of Kurri Kurri. It was Elsie who took out a Court Order to
obtain financial assistance for the two girls. The girls stayed
with their aunt until they were both old enough to leave, Joyce
spending some time in the Women's Land Army having obtained
special approval due to her young age of 16 years, joining 14
December 1943.
Arthur was discharged on account of Demobilization 22 October
1945. On his discharge papers it is shown that he was then single
having a defacto wife with three children under 16 years of age
and 4 children over 16 years of age. The defacto wife is Alma
Brown, who by then had reverted to using her maiden name of Bates
as it was the same as Arthur's and her three children. The four
elder children are presumably the daughters of himself and Mary
Jane and he probably forgot that he actually had five daughters
with her. There is no mention this time of Ivy Medhurst had her
three children. His home address was given as Lang Street, South
Hay. N.S.W.
The unit of his discharge was 8th Australian Garrison Battalion (Hay
Prisoner of War GP, Hay) where his total effective period
comprised of 2201 days of which included Active Service in
Australia of 1288 days. He also had some very minor charges laid
against him during this period but these were of no consequence.
(The above information from Military records provided by the
Archives in Canberra for the First World War, the Army Careers
Management Service for the Militia and the Second World War,
other unamed Military sources and Interviews from witnesses who
knew the these people.)
Arthur returned to the Hunter Valley taking Alma and her children
with him. En-route they stayed with Alma's estranged husband,
Raynor Gordon Brown, at his home in the Newcastle suburb of
Hamilton. Raynor actually gave up his bed, which was a double
bed, for Alma and Arthur. They stayed there for sometime before
moving on to Singleton, where their first home was a shed behind
the then Commonwealth Bank (now a West-Pac Bank) in John Street,
Singleton. They later moved into a tent in a camping reserve at
the rear of where the Singleton Municiple Swimming Pool used to
be in Gowrie Street along side the Railway Line.
When the Council closed the camping reserve the family was moved
further along the railway line, closer to the Hunter River.
Arthur had purchased an Army Marquee at the Army Disposals in
Newcastle and this then became their new home. Over the years
there were additions and extensions, from crates and used roofing
iron, made to the Marquee but the family never ever had
electricity connected whilst they were living there, the children
did not know what electricity was until they left home to make
their own way in life. The drivers of the Steam Locomotives that
traversed the railway line, pulling the railway train carraiges,
both passenger and good, used to toss out shovels of coal for
them to pick and use it in the stove fuel for cooking. For lights
they used either candles in the bedrooms or a pressure kerosene
lantern in the living area. Alma and the girls did their ironing
with a pressure kerosene powered iron. This whole area has now
been redeveloped, the humpies are gone, the Swimming Pool has
been demolished and the site is now a public recreation groung
consisting of sporting and playing fields as well as a children's
playground and has been given the name of James Cook Park.
Arthur worked at various jobs such as Coal Mining, Farm Hand,
Handy Man and as a Cook at the Singleton Army Camp when he was
required. He and Alma were well known, if not Renowned, for
frequenting the local hotels whilst the children were left
outside the hotels to fend for themselves, the youngsters waiting
for their parents, to either leave when they were inebriated or
without sufficient money to keep drinking, to go home. As there
was no Sunday trading for hotels in those days they used to cadge
lifts to go to Ravensworth, some 19 kilometers North along the
New England Highway, where there was a Bottle Shop cum General
Store and they could obtain alcohol there.
The only relative in the Singleton region who even accnowledged
their existance was Mavis Doyle maiden name Harris, a daughter of
Arthur's sister Kitty, who worked for the local Motoring Firm,
Lancaster's Garage. This was probably more due to Alma having an
intense hatred for Arthur's relatives chasing all visitors that
came to see them away, then his relatives avoiding him. Arthur
used to sneek over to his sister Maud's place in View Street so
that his and Mary Jane's children could come there to see him.
Mavis used to lend them some money to tide them over until they
received some pay, although friends and relatives warned her that
she would not be repaid, but she said they always paid her back.
He always had that cough, the legacy of being gassed in the First
World War. Whilst grape picking a grape vine spiked into his
nose, this wound was always weeping and required him to have a
bandage covering it at all times. When asked by his daughter,
Nancy, why did he not have it attended to. His reply was, "I
have been to the Doctor, and they want to operate on it, but
because of being gassed during the war, if they give me
anaesthetic, I could die. And your mother would be left on her
own."
When Arthur died on 7 June 1967, Alma refused to allow the
Doctors to carry out an Autopsy. The local paper, The Singleton
Argus, omited any reference in the obituary of Alma and her
children and had to print a special entry with an appology in a
later issue of-course there was never a mention of Ivy Medhurst
and her children. The Australian War Graves Commision arranged
for him to be intered at Bulga Cemetery just outside Singleton
next to his Mother and Father, also nearby are the graves of some
of his brothers and sisters.
Of Arthur and Alma's children both Nancy and Jim were prepared to
seek work where they could and they both worked in the Market
Gardens in and around Singleton which were owned by a Mr. Bob
Bevan. The eldest daughter, Pearl, married a Mackensie Hamilton
Hayter and she and her husband moved to various different
locations from South Australia to Queensland, finally to settle
in Mackay, Queensland. Jim also moved to South Australia and
settled for a while in Murray Bridge, marrying a Kate Tremby,
there they had three children, two girls and a boy. Jim and Kate
separated and then he moved to Newcastle, there marrying a
Lorraine Chapman, with whom he was associated in Murray Bridge.
They had one child a girl, Naomi Joy. They also moved to Mackay,
Queensland.
Nancy moved to Murray Bridge, South Australia, as well where she
married a Robert Willis and they had a daughter Kerri-Ann. They
returned to Newcastle where her marriage broke up. She re-married
and she and her second husband Bill Halbesma retired to their 6
acre property near Hay Point just South of Mackay, Queensland.
