<p class="MsoNormal">Michael, as he was known, was born in Melbourne on 23 June
1920, the son of Captain C.A. Parker, and was educated at Xavier College,
Melbourne. He served in the Royal Australian Navy, and then the Royal Navy from
1938 to 1947, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Parker first met the then Prince Philip of Greece and
Denmark in 1942, when Philip was assigned to the destroyer HMS Wallace as a
sub-lieutenant. They became close friends. As officers, the two men were also
united by a relative lack of ready money. As Parker put it: "He was better
off than I was, but compared with many people he didn't have a brass
razoo."<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh16aIx0SdJ_lFO3CodLlDVszsR9O_fPtJ1etxb4YFX0Zsxkf43Qgi-Ax7c4vkb3QFAfJYLBdVYnk9KVvD-Fw69nW7gLiKQaObic4SQuiSC43cDp3WYiVjzWv9DCDjR8vc-Dm_cXjupkv8/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="383" data-original-width="576" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh16aIx0SdJ_lFO3CodLlDVszsR9O_fPtJ1etxb4YFX0Zsxkf43Qgi-Ax7c4vkb3QFAfJYLBdVYnk9KVvD-Fw69nW7gLiKQaObic4SQuiSC43cDp3WYiVjzWv9DCDjR8vc-Dm_cXjupkv8/" width="320" /></a></div><br />Parker's Aussie disregard for Prince Philip's Royal
connections also impressed the future Queen's Consort: "The fact that he
was a Prince didn't register with me. I gave him deference when it was
official, but if it was not official then 'relax' was the order of the
day."<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> In 1947, when Philip
was created Duke of Edinburgh in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, Parker
joined the Household of the Duke of Edinburgh as Private Secretary, initially
on a part-time basis. He later became Equerry to the Duke and the Duchess of
Edinburgh. <o:p></o:p>Parker eventually became full-time Private Secretary to the Duke.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 1952, Parker was in Kenya with the royal couple and broke
the news to them of King George VI's death. I never felt so sorry for anyone in all my life", Parker later recalled. He (the Duke) looked as if you'd dropped half the world on him." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He was charged with arranging the Royal couple's triumphant
tour of Australia in 1954. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Parker's divorce in 1958, reported on extensively in the
media, forced him to resign as the Duke's Private Secretary. The divorce featured in the Netflix series, The Crown. The first big scandal in season 2 focuses on Parker's divorce and how it nearly brought down the royal marriage. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Although he
returned to live in Australia in the late 1960s, Parker remained in contact with
Prince Philip until the end of his life. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpNqd8nsOIoQhLxfcZXR91eDnehcshyphenhyphenza7334O618dfmLFPkQhM25djCCZOS5NxdUklFS4AkRrzDZcRs1pjPw0piYB6VDhlVti3h51evY_kPx51h4XIWp59RhU_zOK-7M9Ap0Wd9h6zew/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1036" data-original-width="768" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpNqd8nsOIoQhLxfcZXR91eDnehcshyphenhyphenza7334O618dfmLFPkQhM25djCCZOS5NxdUklFS4AkRrzDZcRs1pjPw0piYB6VDhlVti3h51evY_kPx51h4XIWp59RhU_zOK-7M9Ap0Wd9h6zew/w297-h400/image.png" width="297" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">In the 1996 Australia Day Honours, he was appointed a Member

<p class="MsoNormal">He returned to Australia in 1968 and in 1996 he was

December 2001, leaving his third wife, two daughters and a son. </p><p class="MsoNormal">He is buried at Boroondara (Kew) Cemetery.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Sources: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/ https://www.reddit.com/</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>Friends of Kew Cemeteryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15192948271594497305noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085237848540012794.post-68801873077422513832020-04-25T15:16:00.000+10:002020-04-25T15:26:07.707+10:00<h2>

Captain La Nauze - Killed In Action At Gallipoli - 28th June 1915.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-line;"><span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">
The notification of Captain C. R. La Nauze's death in yesterday's `Miner` caused widespread regret at Boulder, where he was particularly well known and respected. The flag was flown at half-mast on the Town Hall throughout the day.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-line;"><span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">
The messages of condolence received by his wife, who, with her two little children, have to bear up against the sad, intelligence, were numerous, and expressive of his honourable end.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-line;"><span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white;">
The words `killed in action` certainly tend to lighten sorrow's burden, but to close friends and relations death, even on the field of honour, is a sad event when it removes such a universally respected young man.
Patriotism to King and country was his sole aim in leaving with the first expeditionary force, and his enthusiasm and wealth of military knowledge, always at the disposal of the local forces, where his name stood for honourable action, will be an irreparable loss. He left here as Lieutenant under Captain Leane. of Boulder, both fast friends in the private as well as the military sphere, but his abilities soon, gained his promotion to the captain's rank - a privilege, unfortunately, he was destined not long to enjoy. "You will be pleased to hear I gained my captaincy ; it came out today," he wrote to his wife, in a letter received on June 20. The information was heralded with enthusiasm by all who had followed the young, officer's career, and further distinction was looked for in the future.
In all his letters Captain La Nauze exhibited a full and cheerful spirit, as the following extract from one recently to hand shows : "I am writing this in a "dug out." Shrapnel is bursting over head merrily varied by the "twit twit" of the Maxim and the sharp burst of the explosive bullet. I have not had a wash since landing. Still I am feeling well on bully beef and biscuit, varied occasionally with bacon, cheese and jam, and am as fit as a fiddle. Leane and I `dig it` together, and manage very well." In another letter the late captain said: "'The 3rd Brigade is feeling very proud of itself, I can tell you. Since landing it has been dig, dig, dig, and fight, fight, fight. The navy is simply raving about us, and all the generals are showering 'soft soap' on us." Captain La Nauze was only about 28 years of age.
News of his death is certainly sad news and it shows that Australia is giving her best in assistance to the Empire which is straining itself to prevent the onrush of the most barbarous foe of civilised times. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #343637;"><br /></span></span><br />

A year or so ago we were contacted by Mr Ian Richardson who asked for our assistance to locate the grave of his aunt, Florence (Florrie) Cox.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ian is an Australian former journalist who lives in London.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">He was born in Wonthaggi and worked for a time at 3BO in Bendigo and Radio 3AW in Melbourne.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">From there he and wife Rosemary travelled to London where he was offered a job in the new department of BBC World Services.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">They now reside permanently in the UK.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">It was 1997 and Ian was sorting photos with his mother when he came across a picture of her grandparents and their children.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri";">There was one person in the photo Ian didn’t recognize. Ten years of sleuthing ensued , the result of which was Ian piecing together a story that anyone, journalist or otherwise would be intrigued by.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "calibri";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Ian has written a book entitled “God’s Triangle”.</span><br />

<i style="font-family: calibri;"><br /></i>
<i style="font-family: calibri;">When Florence "Florrie" Cox and the newly-ordained Baptist missionary, the Rev. Frank Paice, became engaged to be married in 1912, there was much joy in the two families and at the church they both attended in Melbourne, Australia. But it was in an age when society regarded discussion about sexual matters - even at their most basic - as a taboo. Hence, Frank and Florrie hit the marital rocks on their honeymoon in Bengal, India, when they discovered she had a very rare intersex condition, about which </i><i style="font-family: calibri;">they knew nothing. So began the compelling saga of how the couple struggled to understand and cope with Florrie's condition, while fellow Baptist missionary Olga Johnston waited impatiently in the wings to snatch Frank away.</i><br />
<i style="font-family: calibri;"><br /></i>
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Why did the families and the church go to such lengths to hide what happened? And why did two Supreme Court judges in Melbourne order the divorce file to be sealed for all time? Ian Richardson, an Australian journalist who worked for many years for the BBC, was determined to learn the truth about his Great Aunt Florrie. God's Triangle is the result: a true story of revelation and betrayal.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">I’m happy to report that we were able to locate Florence’s grave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a particularly difficult grave to find, wedged between two rows and completely unmarked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> You can see in the photo below it runs between two rows - very unusual.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Madge Connor</h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There has been quite a bit of publicity recently surrounding the 100th anniversary of women in the police force in Victoria, the poster girl being Boroondara Cemetery's very own Madge Connor. We have often feature Madge on our walks as she was and I think still is an inspirational woman.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Understandably the papers aren't able to publish her full story, so we'd like to do so here, acknowledging her groundbreaking appointment and her work in paving the way for women in the police force. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> She was a true 'force' to be reckoned with. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">Madge Irene Connor was born
possibly on 14 November 1874 at Waterford, Ireland, only child of John Edward
Howard McCarthy, master mariner, and his wife Mary, née Barron. By the time she
retired, however, Madge had eight recorded variations of her name and four
dates of birth. She claimed that after her father was lost at sea, when she was
aged 2, she went with her grandmother and mother to </span><st1:country-region style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;" w:st="on">England</st1:country-region><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">,
then the </span><st1:country-region style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;" w:st="on">United States of America</st1:country-region><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">
where they stayed for two and a half years before moving to </span><st1:country-region style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Zealand</st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">.
Her mother died when Madge was 7, leaving her upbringing to an aunt. Aged 16,
Madge eloped to </span><st1:country-region style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Australia</st1:place></st1:country-region><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">.
Life in </span><st1:city style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;" w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Melbourne</st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">
with her husband Edward Connor (O'Connor), an English-born labourer, and two
children was difficult.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Edward died suddenly in 1916, and it is possible that the
police constable informant for Edward's death registration brought Madge to the
attention of detectives. She started working undercover for the Victoria Police
later that year: by her account obtaining evidence against 'many subtle craft
people and illegal bettors' and taking up residence in a boarding house with a
hardened criminal and 'his woman' in order to obtain evidence against him.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">This work stood her in good stead when, following
campaigns by women's groups, the Victorian government appointed female police
agents. Connor was the first of two, selected in July 1917, on half the pay of
a policeman, with no powers of arrest or rights to a pension. They did not wear
uniforms. </span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">In 1922 she helped in undercover surveillance of a witness in the
case against </span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">Colin Campbell Ross</span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">.
Quickly accumulating commendations for her work, she was stationed at </span><st1:street style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;" w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Russell Street</st1:address></st1:street><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;"> and
Fitzroy for most of her career. </span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">As early as 1920 Connor led deputations of
female police and watch-house matrons to the chief secretary, arguing for an
increase in their salaries. She described the often distasteful duties they had
to undertake for seventeen shillings and sixpence per week. Successful in
obtaining a small increase, Connor made further representations in 1923. </span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Unrelenting in pursuit of equality, she wrote several reports, insisting that a
'stroke of the pen' would solve all problems. </span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 11pt;">Connor proved correct. On 12 November 1924 the by then
four policewomen were sworn in, becoming the first women to obtain equal pay,
nearly half a century ahead of women in other occupations in Australia. Then 5
ft 6 ins (167 cm) tall, with grey eyes, light brown hair and a fair complexion,
Connor gave her religion as Church of England. Because of a technicality in the
police seniority system, she lost her place as 'senior in service', becoming
'junior in number'. She continued to bring petty criminals, fortune-tellers and
bookmakers before the courts until she was forced to retire on 14 November
1929.</span><br />

pension, having not completed the necessary fifteen years as a sworn officer,
Connor operated as a private detective. She died on 12 October 1952 at St
Vincent's Hospital, Fitzroy, and after a Catholic service was buried in
Boroondara Cemetery, <st1:place w:st="on">Kew</st1:place>, survived by her

As the Turks realised that this had become the highway to the front their guns rained shrapnel shells down upon this area. These shells made a particular whistle before they burst showering those below with lethal pellets. It was said that as the shells could be heard before soldiers passing through the valley had the chance to take cover. Confronted with such danger, it was written that men became ‘fatalists’ and thought that a particular shell had a man’s name and number on it! – ‘Until that shell arrived, it was best to let others see them going proudly rather than flinching’. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

"A wonderfully fulfilling project"</h2>
<br />
These were the feelings expressed by the grandchildren of one of the cemetery's 'residents' recently. The two girls, Suzanne and Sam, decided to clean up their grandparents' grave as a surprise for their mother. They consulted with family friend, Helen Page (trustee and horticulturist) who encouraged them in their endeavours. <br />

This is something anyone who has a family grave that may currently be sprouting nothing but weeds can do. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money - just some time and effort. You may have noticed some planting that's been done near the High Street gate entrance in recent months. If you haven't, it's worth a visit as Helen and her workers have created a very impressive entry with simple plantings.<br />
<br />
We'll be updating this site in the weeks to come with some guidelines on how headstones can be safely cleaned and maintained.<br />

We are proud to announce that late last year we launched our new book, called "Leaving their mark" which documents, through short biographies, the lives of some of the movers and shakers who were instrumental in the making of Marvellous Melbourne. Many were involved in moulding our society, and we honour their contribution and thank them for leaving their mark.<br />
<br />
Copies of our book are available from:<br />
<ul>
<li>The Boroondara (Kew) Cemetery office (during work hours)</li>
<li>Tim's Bookshop, High Street, Kew</li>
<li>Email to info@fobkc.org</li>
</ul>
<br />
Cost is $25.00 (plus $10 for postage)<br />
<br />
If you are interested in the history of Melbourne then this book is invaluable.<br />

baking sheet and pop them into the oven for 6-8 minutes (use a timer, as they
burn easily). Then, when they're cool, roughly chop them. Next, add the beaten
egg mixture to the bowl containing the fruits. Then sift in the flour, add the
toasted nuts and give everything a really good mixing. Now divide the mixture
between the prepared loaf tins and bake them in the centre of the oven for
1¼-1½ hours, until they feel springy in the centre. Then straight away loosen
them with a palette knife and turn them out on to a wire rack to cool. </span></span></div>

Their very generous donation of $12,600 will mean that it is full steam ahead for the restoration. So thanks to Rod and all at Kew East <b>Community Bank</b> - Bendigo Bank for their support.<br />

Our application for a Heritage Grant was approved and our appeal to have the Historic Rotunda restored received a significant injection of funds. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whilst our own appeal had been moderately successful, this grant has ensured that the Rotunda will be restored to its formerly glory sooner rather than later.</span><br />
