BEREAVEMENTS

Dell L. (Lindsay) 69 years 9/4/2015

ANZROC member Martin Hayden let me know that Lindsay passed away on 9/4/2015 after a 21 year battle with Multiple Sclerosis. He had a long career with Esanda, and was a well known member of the "Collections", later known as the "Credit Control" Team. Lindsay was a specialist

with the Loss Recoveries Department, previously known as "Loss Adjustment" and many staff benefited from his knowledge and experience. Lindsay was also extremely active in the Surf Lifesaving Organization. He will be sadly missed, and is survived by his wife Anne (Lindsay, like many, met his wife in Esanda!), and two sons.

When I transferred from Adelaide to Melbourne in 1984 when ESANDA absorbed FCA I worked with Lindsay during my time with Esanda.

Lindsay Dell’s passing was advised after our meeting on 9/4/2015 and condolences from ANZROC members are sent to his widow Kaye and family and friends.

Phelps D.F.(David) 79 years 29/3/2015

Past President Neville Pearson wrote the following tribute to David Phelps in this month’s “Birdies Twitter “…..

IN FOND MEMORY OF DAVID PHELPS: 19th November 1935 to 29th March 2015

As always, funerals are sad occasions, but I am sure David would have been delighted that his funeral service was conducted in one of his old stamping grounds. The actual ‘Kingston Funerals’ building was previously occupied by the ANZ Bank, Cheltenham North branch, in which David worked prior to its conversion to a Funeral Chapel.

David was extremely proud of being the first Fijian born new entrant recruited within Fiji to work for the ANZ. He must have been a great success as the staff numbers have since multiplied by in the vicinity of 15 times!!. Not sure if that was to cover David’s transfer to Melbourne??

There was a strong contingent of past players from the ANZ Bank Tennis Club who were there in support for David and also his wife Kay. Kay was a member of the ANZ Bank Tennis Club in days gone by when sport was an integral part of bonding country staff transferred to the “big smoke” in particular

After hearing the beautiful and often humorous tributes to Dave’s life spoken by family and friends, it was no wonder that the chapel was “packed to the rafters” by these family, former work friends and a considerable following of mates. No doubt accumulated over time at the many “watering holes” David tested. I believe this was in pursuit of finding the perfect “frothy pot”. I have no doubt David that your many friends will pick up where you left off in this quest

To your very loving wife Kay and family, the minds and hearts of all our members are with you at this sad time.

David was such a delight to talk to and drink with and I will value the wonderful memories, some of the famed “Fosberry Ave” drinking hole” we chatted about during my visit just prior to “Phelpsy” passing.

I hope Cheryl (my memory) and I have remembered all the former ANZ Members that were at the Chapel and later at the Southern Golf Club. Sincerest apologies for any oversights: Ian Anderson, Bob Bishop, John and Pamela Blampied, Dick Chegwin, Norm and Pat Gaskin, Georgina and John Fanshaw, Graeme Holt, Ian Ince, Martin Laydon, Birdie and Cheryl Pearson , Barry and Shirley Reid, Dick Sanders,

ANZROC Members present at our meeting stood for a few moments in remembrance of David and our thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends .

Our ANZROC member Lesley Deady sent a note about her late husband and our Honorary ANZROC member Norm Deady who passed away in November 2014 at the age of 93 years. Norm joined the Union Bank in Maryborough Vic after matriculating with honours at the age of 16.Norm enlisted in the militia in 1939 and the army in 1941 before transferring to the RAAF in 1943 and training in Canada. A Flying Officer he received extensive specialised navigational training and served with the famous Pathfinder Force of Bomber Command as a navigator in Lancaster bombers. Back in Australia he worked at Head Office Vic and Tas. Workmates who had also served in WW11 became lifelong friends, including Gerry McPherson, Rick Long, Murray Wood, Ken Jackson, Ron Bauer, Allan Kelly, Max Salthouse and Frank Hall. He was” best man” to many of his friends and met his bride to be Lesley when she arrived at 351 Collins Street ,Inspectors Office to take up the desk next to his. Norm worked in branches at Prahran, St Kilda, and Windsor and became manager at many branches throughout Vic and Tasmania where he was admired for his unfailing kindness, integrity and courtesy to staff and customers. In June 2012 Norm travelled to London where the 55,573 airmen killed in Bomber Command were finally honoured at a remarkable publicly funded memorial in Green Park and Norm was privileged to meet the Queen. He will be remembered not only for his complete loyalty to his country and work place but for his true courage and gentleness.

Lawrie Foord advised that Don Soullier a Chauffer for one of the ES&A Chief Managers and then a member of the Service Staff in ANZ passed away on 12/3/2015. Don, originally from Canada who served in the AIF in WW11 would be known to ANZROC members.

Presidents’ Pen

Our ANZAC meeting was a huge success with some 55 attending. Thanks to Kevin Mitchell and Brian Christensen for leading us in a very memorable and moving ceremony and to sharing the video “The Spirit of Anzac”. It provided a fitting tribute to the day. Thanks to all who made the meeting a special occasion.

Our next meeting is on 14th May. This is our annual Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal. Last year members donated $4,400. Major Brendan Nottle will again be our guest speaker. If you have not heard Brendan speak, then please don’t miss this opportunity.

Our May meeting will also celebrate 180 years of the history of ANZ as it traces its origins to May 1835, when the Bank of Australasia was granted a royal charter of incorporation - its first branch was opened in George St, Sydney in December 1835.

A brief history of the ANZ follows this article…….

On our ANZROC website you will soon find a special page where you can go down memory lane. We have produced copies of the Bank staff lists from “The Australasian Insurance & Banking Record” covering Bank of Australasia, Union Bank of Australia, English Scottish & Australasia Bank and Bank of Adelaide.

These records cover:

* Bank of Australasia 1950

* Union Bank of Australia 1950

* ES & A Bank 1950,1955,1960, 1966

* Bank of Adelaide 1950,1955,1960,1966,1970 and 1975

* ANZ Bank 1955,1960,1966,1970 and 1975.

We hope to have the material on the website over the next few weeks. Have a look and see if you are listed and also see others you will know.

Over forthcoming newsletters, there will be a series of brief articles detailing some of the history of the Bank over the past 180 years. I hope that they will be of interest to members.

Peter Pritchard

Here is the article on the brief history of ANZ for you….

Brief History of ANZ

ANZ traces its origins to May 1835, when the Bank of Australasia was granted a royal charter of incorporation - its first branch was opened in George St, Sydney in December 1835

Many of ANZ's forebears were English banks with head offices in London and extensive branch networks in Australia and New Zealand. The Bank of Australasia (established 1835), the Union Bank of Australia (est. 1837), and the English, Scottish and Australian Bank Limited (est. 1852) were typical Anglo-Australian banks. The Union Bank merged with the Bank of Australasia in 1951, forming Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited. In 1970 Australia and New Zealand Bank Limited merged with the English, Scottish and Australian Bank Limited (ES&A) to form the present organisation, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.

Through its major forebears, a number of minor banks were absorbed. The Bank of Australasia acquired the Cornwall Bank (1828-35) and the Bank of Western Australia (1837-41). The Union Bank of Australia acquired the Convict Savings Bank (1828-51), Tamar Bank (1834-37), Bathurst Bank (1835-40), Bank of South Australia (1836-92), and Archers Gilles & Co. (1840-44). The ES&A Bank Limited acquired the Commercial Bank of Tasmania Limited (1829-1921), the London Bank of Australia Limited (1852-1921) and the Royal Bank of Australia Limited (1888-1927).

Following the 1970 merger ANZ made several important acquisitions. The Bank of Adelaide (est. 1865), which had absorbed the Australian Deposit and Mortgage Bank Limited (1874-1919), was taken over by ANZ in 1979. Grindlays Bank plc (est. 1828) was acquired in 1984. Grindlays was a British international bank with a worldwide branch network. PostBank, originally established in 1867 as New Zealand's Post Office Savings Bank, was purchased by ANZ in 1989. National Mutual Royal Bank Limited (est. 1986) was acquired in April 1990, and the Perth-based Town & Country W.A. Building Society (est. 1964) was purchased in July 1990.

In Feb 1994, ANZ Panin Bank was officially opened at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia by ANZ Chairman John Gough. PT ANZ Panin Bank was a joint venture bank in which 85% was owned by ANZ and 15% was owned by PT Pan Indonesia (Panin) Bank Indonesia’s tenth largest private bank.

In July 2000, as part of a strategic redirection, ANZ divested its Grindlays business to Standard Chartered plc. In 2003 ANZ acquired The National Bank of New Zealand. The amalgamation between Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (NZ) Limited and The National Bank of New Zealand Limited resulted in the formation of ANZ National Bank Limited (est. 2004).

In 2001, ANZ acquired majority shareholding in Bank of Kiribati (75% shareholding ANZ and 25% shareholding Government of Kiribati), consolidating its position as the leading bank in the Pacific.

In July 2006, ANZ acquired a 20% share in Tianjin City Commercial Bank (TCCB). ANZ’s AUD$150 million investment made it the first foreign bank to own a 20% shareholding in a Chinese bank. A year later in 2007, ANZ acquired 100% of CSB, a community bank in Guam, for US$25 million. This acquisition extended ANZ's presence into the North Pacific region for the first time.

In August 2009, ANZ reached an agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS) to acquire the RBS retail, wealth and commercial businesses in Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and Hong Kong and their institutional businesses in Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam for approximately AUD$687 million.

In 2012, ANZ National Bank announced that after almost ten years of operating ANZ and The National Bank in New Zealand, the two brands would be brought together as ANZ. The National Bank brand would progressively be phased out while the company’s legal name would become ANZ Bank New Zealand Ltd.

ANZ today has a presence in 33 countries worldwide.

LETTERS

Arty Booth emails from Elliott Heads (Qsld) to express his thanks to Kathy and the committee for his Birthday Card. Like others, he looks forward to the monthly newsletter and reading of the exploits of those who are enjoying the good life in retirement. Not much to report from Bundaberg. They are preparing for the yearly fishing trip to a small van park 100k south of Townsville where they catch up with friends who share their interest in fishing.

Jenny Cooke emails her thanks to Kathy Trace for her recent birthday greetings. It is so nice to receive a card even though we try hard to forget the rising number of years. Although Jenny hasn’t been able to get to meetings, she enjoys reading the monthly newsletter with interesting

notes of trips taken by members, many of whom she worked with. Having sold the house last year, Jenny has been unable to take holidays while the search continues for a new abode. Meanwhile, she is playing golf two or three times a week and walking the dog with a very active early morning group of walkers.

Bob Delahoy writing from Inverloch sends his grateful thanks to Kathy Trace and Peter Pritchard and committee for the 86th birthday wishes. The card certainly made Bob’s day. Bob can’t believe he is as old as that and wonders where the years have gone but he and his wife are enjoying good health and their lifestyle down by the sea. Bob was another who joined the Bank of Australasia in August 1949 commencing at Flinders Way with the Manager A.L.Guyett a member of a well known Western District family and he is proud to have been an A/asia boy. Bob enjoys reading the newsletter as it makes him feel still a part of the Bank that he worked in for 37 years.

John Fairbairn emailing from Yarrawonga says as usual his card arrived spot on the day (marvellous). John reads with interest in newsletters many of his former workmates are still with us and enjoying good health. Great to hear! John regularly sees Maurie Harwood, Peter O'Dwyer and Bruce McKean all of whom are still active in Yarrawonga. He hopes to have opportunity to attend a meeting this year,

George Finnis sends his sincere thanks to the Committee and members of ANZROC for their kind wishes on the occasion of his 79th birthday.

Lawrie Foord sends his many and sincere thanks to Kathy Trace for the birthday card on behalf of the President and Committee of the Club. Lawrie spent a very pleasant day with his family at a nice restaurant and celebrations continued thereafter at his eldest daughter’s home. He is still enjoying good health – no aches or pains- and is most grateful to be in such condition at his time of life.

Eddie Hassett writes to thank Kathy Trace for his birthday wishes which were appreciated. Eddie said that he turned over 42 year’s membership at Woodlands Golf Club this year and is still on the committee of the Mordialloc Football and Netball Club. Eddie was saddened to read that David Phelps had passed away during the month .David was a top bloke.

Andy Herd emails thanks to Kathy Trace for the birthday card and on behalf of the members he doesn’t know how she manages to keep on top of it all. All well here and looking forward to another vets season of hockey. In his spare time Andy is a volunteer driver driving the elderly to medical appointments and one of his patient pickups said “getting old is a beggar but no one told us. Then on reflection they didn't live as long’. The person was well in his eighties, rather funny.

Doug Imrie advised that he and wife Trish will be heading west with the caravan to celebrate the 100th anniversary of ANZAC day at Albany, expect to return sometime in August.

Rick Kimber writes to thank the President and Committee and particularly Kathy Trace for the very kind birthday wishes. The card arrived on the day as usual.

Christine Lane emails her thanks to ANZROC for the recent birthday card and wishes.

Christine’s birthday celebrations for this year were very quiet indeed due to being ill over this time. She is to have a “delayed” celebration shortly, whilst up on the farm at Burramine, with extended family members and she is looking forward to a relaxing time in the country.

Christine looks forward to reading the ANZROC newsletter each month to catch-up with the news from those who formed part of her working life at ANZ.

Jack Moyle writes to send his thanks for the birthday card received on his 90th birthday. It was great to celebrate with some of Jack’s family and friends at Kooyong Tennis Club and to speak to his younger son Graeme and granddaughter Saski in London. There is also an array of cards from other friends and well wishers.

Terry Parks reporting from Toora says she notices that the newsletter includes adventures of members. She has had a significant misadventure that may be of interest. Terry continues to be enthralled by the magnificence of her Shire horses, each of which weighs more than a tonne. On Monday 2nd March, notwithstanding that her foal (Toora Binginwarri <“Tom”>) was already on the float, one of their Shire mares, Mingara Marguerite (“Margot”), didn't want to get onto the

float. They were trying to load her to go to the vet for artificial insemination (Terry imports semen from champion European and UK Shire stallions). Margot turned quickly, knocked Terry to the ground, and then galloped over her. Consequently, Terry received a laceration on her right leg from just under the knee to just above the ankle two inches wide, even though she was wearing jeans and long socks. The Shire horse also broke Terry’s right leg below the knee and she was in hospital for 6 days having intravenous antibiotics. The vet arrived to give Margot a sedative just as the ambulance arrived to take Terry away. Before the accident , Tom had tried to jump the foal guard while Margot was refusing to get on the float. He got 3 legs over but his back left leg was still on the other side. Terry and her husband had to demolish the foal guard but couldn't get it out from under the horse completely so Terry still had to lift that leg, while he was still panicking, over the guard which was then at an angle. Tom is only 3 months old but is already more than 14 hands high and weighs about 400kg. Tom calmed down when he was contained in the front of the float but he was in there for ages waiting while Margot carried on about getting on. After the ambulance left with Terry her husband and the vet made the decision to give up trying to load Margot. Terry is now confined to a wheelchair because her arms aren’t strong enough to use crutches properly and she was putting pressure under her arms, risking compression of nerves. Those who remember the Type A that she is will understand that she’d not enjoy being confined to the house.

Gerry McPherson advised that ANZROC member Ron Pitt (92) who in WW11 enlisted in the RAAF and was posted to the RAF Bomber Command where he was a member of a crew flying Lancaster bombers on sorties over Europe has been awarded the French Legion of Honour.

Graeme Randall emails his thanks for the card that he received on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Graeme retired in 1996. After two years of retirement and some extensive travels within Australia, he became a part time teller with ANZ for six years. Graeme enjoyed this work in Acland Street, and the three St. Kilda Road Branches, 594, 376 and 420 St.Kilda

Road. The teller's job was much easier than his earlier teller's job in Bendigo and later in Chapel Street Windsor, Newmarket, Fish Creek, Swan Hill, and Tallangatta. In Bendigo, his home town, two of the gold mines were still operating and ANZ were their bankers. Graeme remembers the gold being brought in. The bank would weigh it, make an advance to the mines by crediting their account and the price of gold was fixed in those days at 3 pound 17/6 ($7.75) an ounce. The lump of impure gold was sewn into a canvas coin bag and sent by registered post to The Royal Mint, William Street, Melbourne. After seven years in Victoria Graeme was then appointed Travel Officer, Hobart, initially for two years, but he stayed for eight years. After many deferments he reluctantly returned to Melbourne at the Bank's insistence. During Graeme’s 45 years with ANZ, he was, on several occasions, attached to the Relieving Staff and visited many Branches in Victoria and Tasmania. Many Branches have since closed, or merged, but the actual building still stands....e.g. 394 Collins Street, 150 Chapel Street Windsor, and 17 Hall Street Newport. Ironically, he also worked in Premises Department in 287 Collins Street .He enjoys reading the monthly news letter, recognising many of the names of former staff.

Geoffrey Sandow writes in response to receiving his birthday greeting from ANZROC and is hopeful that it is the first of many. He sends a thank you to Kathy for sending the card and is appreciative of the work undertaken by her. Being a relatively new member of ANZROC Geoffrey is another who gets a “bit of a buzz” out of reading the letters contained in the Newsletter, particularly from those whom he has directly worked with or those met over his years of service. Reading the letter from Kevin May brought back memories from his Royal Bank Branch days, in particular joining Kevin over a period of Sunday mornings for a jogging session which included running up Gallagher’s Road hill in Glen Waverley. For those who don’t know it, the hill must be one of the steepest in Melbourne. And, they always made it to the top without stopping. Another member he recalls from his Royal Bank Branch days is Sandra Street, who was a regular card playing partner during lunch breaks as well as having the task of typing Geoffrey’s Advance Applications as the senior typist, Eileen Fitzgerald, couldn’t read his writing! Other members whom he has met or read about since joining ANZROC and who worked at Royal Bank Branch at the same time and come to mind include Mike Cooper, Alan Pearce, Ian Anderson, Mike Henry and Ian Lee. Geoffrey is currently working on putting at least one particular memory into print for Gary Mason’s potential humorous stories publication. Geoffrey also indicated that it has been great to attend the meetings and catch up with those he has worked with as well as meeting members not previously known.

Murray Skelton writes to thank ANZROC members for their kind thoughts and wishes on his recent 80th birthday. It is great to receive the card each year and is much appreciated. Murray is still playing and enjoying bowls and at times comes across other retired ANZ friends. Great grandchildren now number 7 and it is getting harder all the time trying to keep up with them. Murray and wife Ann are well settled now in Glengollan Retirement Village in Ferntree Gully and enjoy a different lifestyle. ANZROC member Ian Ewart and wife Pat are also residents in the Village. Ian and Murray played football and cricket against each other in their youth. Pat Ewart and Murray were in the same class at Upwey High School and he had not seen her since 1949.The four now get together regularly and reminisce about the past. Great fun.

Bruce Tickell writes to thank Kathy Trace for the birthday card for his 86th which arrived on cue as intended. The years are steadily rising and he is sometimes amazed that his health on the whole is satisfactory relative to the age. On the subject of old banks when Bruce joined the Bank of Australasia in1945 a condition following 3 years as a supernumeray was that his height was more than or at least 5ft6”. He thinks this requirement was useful if the Bank wanted to ease you out.

Past President John Vanselow emails to advise he will not be attending the April Anzac Remembrance meeting as it is John and wife Lois’s 60th Wedding Anniversary. In addition to their family they have family arriving from Qsld and NSW on that day to celebrate the occasion.

Julie Wilkins emails her thanks to Kathy Trace for sending birthday wishes, and the card arrived on the day. Julie enjoys the newsletter which she reads cover to cover every month and she looks at all the website links .

Peter Williams emailing from Healesville says he really appreciate the good wishes for his birthday and even more as the birthday card arrived on the day. Even more special as it was for Peter’s 60th birthday. As part of his birthday "year" wife Kerrie and Peter are about to embark on a trip to "celebrate" life. Early next month they set off to Singapore, then a cruise to Hong Kong (via Vietnam). After HK they fly to Dubai for a few days to see this new world frontier. Following this they are off to Venice to pick up a Greek island cruise. Peter and Kerrie will really see the new and the old, Then home. It is now over 6 years since he "retired" and Peter says life did not end after ANZ. Still have great memories and great friendships from his days in the bank.
