Over 38 days, we will honour each of the 38 men whose names are inscribed on the cenotaph at the Eltham War Memorial.
This evening, we remember 4165 Private Walter James Moseley, a local son whose life was lost during the terrible fighting on the Somme.
Walter James Moseley was born in Eltham, Victoria, in 1891. Before the war, he worked as a labourer and lived in the Eltham district. He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on 1 November 1915 and joined the 22nd Battalion. He embarked from Melbourne aboard HMAT Wiltshire in March 1916.
Private Moseley arrived on the Western Front during one of the most costly periods of the war. On 5 August 1916, during the fighting at Pozières, he was wounded in action. The 22nd Battalion alone suffered heavily on 4/5 August, with 625 casualties before being relieved. He was taken first to the 3rd Casualty Clearing Station near Vadencourt and later transferred to the 23rd General Hospital at Étaples, France. Despite medical care, he died of his wounds on 14 August 1916.
He is buried at Étaples Military Cemetery in France.
Today, we honour the service and sacrifice of Private Walter James Moseley, remembering a young man from this community who endured the horrors of the Somme and gave his life far from home. His name endures, both here among those who remember him, and where he now rests among his comrades.

75th Anniversary of National Service.
On 14 February 2026 at 1030am, we will commemorate this milestone with a commemorative service at the @montmorencyelthamrsl
National service refers to two conscription schemes for the armed forces that operated during the Cold War. Both schemes saw young men conscripted into Australia’s armed forces for full-time and part-time service. Those who served in the national service schemes were affectionately known as ‘Nashos’.
The National Service Training Scheme (NSTS) ran from 1951 to 1959. It required nearly all 18-year-old males to be registered for national service and undergo between 3 and 6 months of full-time training in one of the armed services followed by a part-time service commitment in either the Royal Australian Naval Reserve, Citizen Military Force, or Citizen Air Force.
The National Service Scheme (NSS) ran from 1965 to 1972. This scheme required males turning 20 and resident in Australia to register for potential national service and then men were selected for national service by a ballot system. Those selected were required to complete 2 years of full-time service with the Australian Regular Army or six years of part-time service in the CMF. Nashos in this scheme could serve in Australia or overseas, including in Vietnam, Malaysia (including in the Indonesian Confrontation), Singapore, and Papua New Guinea.
Over 280,000 young men were called up for national service between 1951 and 1972 with the last Nashos discharged in 1974. More than 200 died on active service overseas and others died while serving in Australia. Although many young men were proud to serve their country in uniform, national service came at a personal cost for all Nashos, irrespective of the nature and location of their service.
On National Servicemen’s Day, we invite veterans, families and community members to come together and attend the commemorative service at the RSL and then retire into our Members Bar for refreshments and viewing of the National Service from Canberra. ... See MoreSee Less

Over 38 days, we will honour each of the 38 men whose names are inscribed on the cenotaph at the Eltham War Memorial.
This evening, we remember 1883 Private Robert Meadows, who also served under the name Allen Cassell, a labourer whose wartime service reflects both the strain of war and the ultimate cost he bore.
Robert Meadows was born in Melbourne, Victoria, and enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on 9 June 1915. Before the war, he worked as a labourer. He embarked from Melbourne aboard HMAT Anchises in August 1915 and joined the 23rd Battalion, later transferring to the 60th Battalion.
Private Meadows served at Gallipoli during the final months of the campaign and was evacuated with his unit in January 1916. His service record shows periods of absence without leave and disciplinary action, including a time when he was recorded as a deserter. These episodes speak to the personal difficulty and instability experienced by some men under the extreme pressures of war, displacement, and military discipline.
Despite these indiscretions, Robert Meadows returned to duty. He was taken on strength of the 60th Battalion in Egypt and embarked for France in June 1916, arriving on the Western Front only weeks before the battalion was committed to action.
On 19 July 1916, during the Attack at Fromelles, Private Meadows was reported missing in action. A Court of Enquiry later confirmed that he was killed in action on that date. He has no known grave. Instead, his name is commemorated at V.C. Corner at the Australian Cemetery Memorial at Fromelles.
Today, we honour the service and sacrifice of Private Robert Meadows, remembering a man who struggled, returned to duty, and ultimately gave his life in one of the most tragic battles in Australia’s military history. His story reminds us that those we commemorate were human, imperfect, and courageous, and that sacrifice was borne in many forms.

Over 38 days, we will honour each of the 38 men whose names are inscribed on the cenotaph at the Eltham War Memorial.
This evening, we remember 234 Driver Alfred Cassell, a local man who served from the opening months of the First World War and gave his life in the fighting in Flanders.
Alfred Cassell was born in Research, Victoria, and was educated at Research Primary School. Before the war, he worked as a labourer. He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on 13 September 1914 and served with the 2nd Field Artillery Brigade, and later with the 3rd and 15th Field Company Engineers. He embarked from Melbourne aboard HMAT Borda in December 1914.
Driver Cassell served in Egypt before proceeding to the Western Front, where his work as an engineer supporting operations in some of the most dangerous conditions of the war. On 21 October 1917, during fighting in the Ypres sector of Belgium, he was killed in action in the Hannebeek Valley near Westhoek.
He is buried at The Huts Cemetery at Dickebusch, Belgium.
Today, we honour the service and sacrifice of Driver Alfred Cassell, remembering a man who served from the earliest days of the war and gave his life far from home. His name endures, both here in his community and where he now rests among his comrades.

Over 38 days, we will honour each of the 38 men whose names are inscribed on the cenotaph at the Eltham War Memorial.
This evening, we remember 9925 Lance Corporal Henry George Phillips, a soldier whose service bridged two nations and whose sacrifice is honoured here in the Eltham district.
Henry George Phillips was born in Melbourne, Victoria, the son of George William and Angelina Gertrude Phillips. He later enlisted in England, joining the 4th Battalion of the King’s Royal Rifle Corps. His civilian occupation is unknown, but like many men of his generation, he answered the call to serve at a time when the demands of war were urgent and unrelenting.
By 1915, Lance Corporal Phillips was serving on the Western Front during the bitter fighting of the Second Battle of Ypres. On 1 July 1915, during operations near St Eloi in Belgium, he was wounded in action. He later died of those wounds, one of the many lives claimed in the early and brutal months of industrial warfare. He is buried at Erquinghem-Lys Churchyard Extension in northern France.
Though Henry’s service was overseas, his memory is firmly rooted here. His family moved to Eltham in August 1917 and resided at “St Boswells, Eltham.” Henry was the younger brother of Captain Arthur John Phillips, 5th Battalion, who himself was wounded on three occasions while on active service. Arthur ultimately returned to Australia and discharged in 1918 as medically unfit due to those wounds and to care for both his and Henry’s ill parents.
Today, we honour the service and sacrifice of Lance Corporal Henry George Phillips, a man who served far from home, endured the hardships of the Western Front, and gave his life in the service of others. His name, inscribed on the cenotaph, stands as a lasting reminder of duty, loss, and the enduring connection between his family, this community, and those who served.
