On behalf of the Policing family ( old and new ) I would love to congratulate those people at Hurstville who put themselves above and beyond to look after one of their own. A man who was obviously loved and respected to the point that the members went to his home and spent the entire day there upgrading his yards.
I love the gesture of his kids having tattooed Peter’s Registered number on their forearms to forever remember their father.
May Peter forever Rest In Peace and his family know that he was obviously a much loved person and work mate.

Dedication of Plaque at Ronald William John SCOTT The Australian War Memorial Canberra 06/03/2007
Article Published in Liverpool RSL Sub-Branch Magazine.
Born at Cootamundra on the 29th. January 1925, the elder of eight children of Australian born parents of English and Irish decent.
Ron’s early childhood was on his parent’s property at Yeoval NSW, where he recalls helping trappers at night to collect rabbits.
Due to a major bushfire that ravaged the area in 1933, The family and remaining stock moved to a second property at Quandialla NSW, A wheat and sheep district where they remained for many years.
His schooling was at a one-teacher school near a Rail Siding called Berendebba, there were on average, sixteen pupils attending class 1st. to 6th.:Ron managed to gain a bursary.
At the outbreak of war in 1939, and still a youth of fourteen he witnessed almost every able bodied man in the district going off to war, For the next couple of years, Ron shore sheep, lumped wheat, fenced and became a general rouseabout.
During 1942 at the age of 17 years six months, he enlisted in the RAAF, after a medical at Parkes and interviews at Sydney, he was informed of a long waiting list before eventual call-up.
Now 18 years he managed to enlist in the AIF in l 943,Basic training was at Bathurst, then on to Canungra Jungle Training for the gruelling Infantry course, Ron volunteered for the Commando Course to follow.
Joining the newly formed 6 Div. Cav. Commando Regiment on the Atherton Tablelands, Ron allotted to 10 Commando Sqn. Sailed with 7 and 9 Sqn on the Katoomba as vanguard for the 6″‘ Division Aitape-Wewak campaign in New Guinea.
A bitter and costly campaign fought for days behind enemy lines, Culminating in the surrender of general Adachi, being present at the surrender Ron felt very fortunate.
On returning from New Guinea and spending some weeks in Concord Hospital, His discharge finally completed, Ron applied and was accepted into the NSW Police force, He was stationed at Leichhardt, Lithgow, Regent Street and Camperdown, Fate took over when Ron on behalf of the Police service went to Victoria Barracks to borrow Walkie Talkie sets for crowd control, The then Col.F. Hassett convinced him that by returning to the regular Army with the rank,his pay would double; The Police Certificate of Service says Very Satisfactory.
Posted to 13 National Service Battalion at Ingleburn as an instructor in 1951, Ron remained there until posted to Japan and then on to 1 RAR Korea as Regimental Police Sgt. Returning with the Battalion in April 1956 to Enoggera Barracks QLD.
Still with I RAR posted to Malaya in Sep. 1959 to Nov. 1961, Returning to Holsworthy NSW, remained as R P Sgt, and Mess Secretary/Treasurer until his discharge on 17 Jan. 1963, as pre arranged Ron again elected to join. the Commonwealth and later Federal Police Service.
After some years and tiring of shift work and double shifts, He decided to call it a day_ Resigning with a Certificate of Service marked Satisfactory.

MY RECOLLECTIONS OF THE END OF WW2.
As a member of the 2/6 Cav. Commando Regiment comprising 7,9, l 0,Commando Squadrons, We had taken part in the whole of the Aitape-Wewak New Guinea campaign by the 6th.Division.At this time my 2/10 Squadron was occupying a place called Cape Karawop just north of Wewak which had recently been taken after a major battle.Cape Karawop was supposed to give us a rest after a five months continued action, including an amphibious landing at Dove Bay south of Wewak, The Japanese were moving down from the Mountains to our coastal holiday home, they would attack at night with grenades and rifle fire.To us this unofficial War carried on for several nights after we had been told the Japs had surrendered, I can recall our chaps yelling out “The war is over you silly bastards”. From our Unit History “To The Green Fields Beyond” by Shawn O’Leary, I have made the following interesting extracts covering the period.8.15am 6th August 1945, 1 st Atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima.11 am 9th August 1945, 2nd Atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki12th August 1945,Sydney’s crazy celebrations could be heard on our Signals wireless.9.14am 15th August 1945,the single code word NEON was flashed around the globe to confirm the unconditional surrender of Japan, Sydney again went wild, from a platform in the Domain Jack Davey entertained an audience of 150,000.The Commandos took stock of their losses in the campaign, 48 killed 119 wounded, They had killed 778 Japanese taken 23 prisoners and found 363 dead, Our last casualty was on the 18th. “August 1945, A young 19 year old killed by one of our own booby traps while checking for Japanese infiltrators. On the 22nd August 1945 General Adachi advised that Japanese troops had been ordered to cease fire but not to lay down their Arms.On the 13th September 1945 General Adachi formally signed surrender documents on the Air strip at Cape Wom before Major General H.C.H Robertson.Having served the whole of the Campaign and being present on the surrender parade, I was most grateful and proud to have survived WW2

Committal service will be held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, North Chapel, Camden Valley Way, Leppington, NSW, Australia on Wednesday, 21st September 2011.

EXCERPT FROM SHAWN O’LEAR’Y “TO THE GREEN FIELDS BEYOND”
At Maurak, Milak, Aupik and Ami, the commandos frequently had been given reliable advance information by natives of enemy locations; and patrol casualties accordingly had been minimised. At Dove Bay the men prowled for an enemy who, wherever he was, was awaiting them. The first patrol clash of any consequence occurred on 27 May. Perkins took his entire troop, accompanied by an attached medical orderly and artillery and infantry signallers (the latter to communicate with mortarmen), and ferreted over the high areas to the south of the perimieter.
The party made an early morning start and trekked along a ridge until it reached an east-west track which showed signs of recent heavy foot traffic. The troop turned west and followed the track down a slope to upper Mandi Creek which it crossed. When the field telephone was checked it failed to bring response. The trailing sig. wire had been cut. A sub-patrol returned and repaired the break and the troop continued its advance.
Soon a clearing was reached in which holes recently had been dug. The soil was yet damp. The troop edged forward, each man a lubricated shadow. In the jungle no insect chirped and a Japanese who was shortly seen, seemed to slide sinuously into the undergrowth.
Suddenly the jungle exploded with shattering fire. Rifles and machine guns laced the troop with lead and in the first moments Lietenant Land and Trooper NEM Mondon went down, both, fortunately, only wounded. Perkins drew his men back to the fringe of the jungle where fallen logs lay at the head of the track home. A call for artillery fire from the 25 pounders on Boram aerodrome failed because of communication inadequacy, but communication was established with supporting mortars and bombs began to fall among enemy pits.
A strongly defended Japanese position having been found, and the reconnaisance object of his patrol thus achieved, Perkins decided to withdraw. It was beyond doubt that artillery and more than a troop of commandos would be needed to eradicate this target. The rear section filtered back along the track, not knowing that enemy had quickly moved behind the troop and were now astride the path with machine guns. As the point scout, Trooper AA Maurer, rounded the first bend he was killed with a burst of automatic fire. Corporal O.H. Pomroy and Trooper Worrad immediately went into action with blazing Brens. The attached medical orderly, Corporal CR Mahony, daringly dived under their fire to tend Maurer whose body he rolled to security over the creek bank for later burial. He braved the fire once again to return with Maurer’s weapon…….and so on.
p320 and yet another incident “…….. The troop moved in again. Not yet had the enemy been destroyed, the barrage having been laid down slightly to the left of the position. Once more the troop drew fire from rifles and machine guns. Lieutenant Roper, Corporal HG Monk and Lance corporal CT Crawley, were wounded, Corporal Pomoroy with his Bren courageously covered the evacuation of the casualties. Two Japanese had been killed.
p339……and yet another …..”On 23 July 2/10 Sqn, however, was to suffer battle casualties. This squadron had not been relieved by 2/7 Sqn to rest in dalliance at Karawop. It had received 39 reinforcements on 19 July, among whom were three officers, one of whom was allotted to each troop. A patrol led by one of these, Lieut. E.R. Lawler, made contact with the enemy near the village of Machouin, south-east of Suik, on 22 July. Next morning, Lawler led a patrol to the area again to check natives’ reports of Japanese casualties caused by them. The patrol comprised most of B Troop’s reinforcements with a leavening of seasoned soldiers in Lieut. Redmond , Lance-Sgt Simpson, Corporal Pomroy and Trooper Nichols. The reconnaissance was to be a routine one which would serve to temper reinforcements to active service conditions.
Unfortunately, the Japanese had moved a force of about 40 men armed with rifles and a light machine-gun to defend a small spur leading to the village. The village itself was in an exposed area and the patrol correctly scouted to left and right instead of massing for attack.
The enemy was concealed in pits on high ground at the rear of the village which covered the spur. Troopers LD Turner and IG Wharton , on the left, were killed in the first firing, collapsing one on the other. Sergeant Simpson, who had dived behind a mound, emerged to try to drag the bodies back, but was himself wounded by a burst of machine-gun fire across the right shoulder and neck.
The situation was no happier to the right. Redmond and Tpr JN Jeffers had been killed and Cpl Mahoney the medical orderly who had so courageously tried to tend Maurer on 27 May, had been wounded. Mahoney’s wounds were serious ones. He had been shot through the arm and throat, yet still he tried to scrabble forward to minister to Jeffers. Jeffers, though, was beyond aid. Under cover from Cpl Pomroy‘s Bren, Tpr RG Denzel , a reinforcement medical orderly, extricated Mahony under fire. Denzel was awarded a Military Medal; Mahoney and Simpson were mentioned in dispatches. The citation for Denzel’s decoration laid particular emphasis on the fact that the deed was outstanding as the soldier had not been under fire before. When a later patrol came out to bury the Australian dead it was discovered that eight Japanese had been killed in the brief, but tragic, fight. It had been a day of tragedy for the regiment comparable with that of the ambush of the cavalry carriers at Derna in 1941.

SYDNEY, Sunday: Poisonous fumes in a sewer yesterday killed a workman and a male nurse who went down the sewer shaft to help him.
The two men were Vittorio Chiaruttini, 40, whose wife and family live in Melbourne, and Edward James Markey, 35, the male nurse.
Chiaruttini, works foreman of a sewerage scheme being installed in Hay, went down the sewer shaft and when he did not reappear his workmate went for help.
Markey, a married man with two children, volunteered to go down the sewer.
When he failed to reappear Police Constable White went down the shaft, and at the second attempt managed to get a rope around the bodies of the two men.
Two men died yesterday after being overcome by a mysterious gas which filled a narrow tunnel on a new sewerage project at Hay.
They were Victorio Chiaruttuni, 40, foreman, employed by McDonald Construction Co., and Edwin James Markey, 35, a male nurse at Hay Hospital.
Chiaruttuni entered the tunnel on a normal inspection tour and was overcome by the fumes.
Markey heard Chiaruttuni’s cries for help ; and after calling the police, entered the tunnel but was also overcome by the gas.
Constable Rex White, of Hay Police, entered the tunnel with a length of garden hose in his mouth because gas masks were unavailable.
He was semi-conscious and partly paralysed by the gas after rescuing the two men.
The three men were rushed to Hay Hospital, but Chiaruttuni and Markey failed to respond to treatment. Constable White was allowed to leave after treatment.
MILDURA, Wednesday: Police today found the body of seven-year-old Peter Philp in the River Murray.
The boy had been missing from Dareton, N.S.W., since last Friday week.
A post-mortem by the Government medical officer from Wentworth, and medical superintendent at Mildura Hospital last night revealed the boy had died by drowning.
Constables Rex White of Wentworth, and Eric Maurer of Buronga, found Peter’s body snagged against the branch of a submerged tree, about 250 yards from where his clothing was found last Sunday week.
C.I.B. headquarters said last night detectives on the case were satisfied there were no suspicious circumstances. There were no marks of violence on the body.
Peter’s disappearance set off one of the most intensive investigations ever in the area 12 miles from Mildura.
Detectives were puzzled by the fact that Peter vanished at 6.15 p.m. – only 15 minutes before he was due to meet his soldier settler father, Mr. Alf Philp, near the sweet shop the boy had just left.
XIII. Acts of Bravery by Police.
A number of Police distinguished themselves by performing acts of bravery during 1956. Brief particulars are shown
hereunder:—
Constable Rex KeithWhite, has been awarded the British Empire Medal, as well as the Bronze Medal and Certificate of Merit of the Royal Shipwreck Relief and Humane Society in recognition of his bravery on the 7th January, 1956, in descending into an underground sewer main, then under construction at Hay.
In the first place Vittorio Chiaritina, works foremen on the job, had entered the sewer where he had been overcome by some unknown gas and collapsed. Edwin James Markey descended to the sewer in an endeavour to rescue Chiaritina, but was overcome and collapsed. Constable White was advised that the two men had collapsed and he immediately descended into the sewer, but became affected to such an extent that he could barely give the signal to be hauled up. Although practically unconscious, he was again lowered into the sewer with a garden hose in his mouth. He could not get sufficient air by this means, but although badly affected by the gas, was able to fasten a rope round Markey, and both he and Markey were hauled to the surface. A civilian named Graeme Barry Mitchell then descended and tied a rope round Chiaritina, who was brought to the surface. Mr. Mitchell has also been awarded the British Empire Medal, and the Queen’s Commendation for Brave Conduct has been conferred (posthumously) upon Markey.
