BLACK DIGGERS OF LOGAN
(Gentle guitar plays in the background)
Description:
Sunlight glistening through tall trees, we see a small family group casually walking together through a covered porch entrance to the Cudgen War Memorial located just south of the Tweed River in northern New South Wales. In the background we can see a modern brick wall and brick pillared structure set in green lawns.
Description:
The family group are greeted by two older male family members, seated, waiting for their arrival under the shade of the porch. Everyone exchanges greetings, hugs and kisses.
Martin Watego:
Hello, you alright?
Aunty:
Hello, darling
Richard Watego:
How are ya?
Aunty:
Hello lovey.
Grandchildren:
Hi
Aunty:
Good to see ya.
Martin Watego:
Good to see you Baba.
Aunty:
Good to see you darling.
Grandchildren:
Hello
Richard Watego:
Hey baby.
Martin Watego:
Hello darlin.
Description:
Dappled light highlights the brown brick memorial. Moving closer we see each pillar has a brass badge representing each of branch of the Australian military services: the anchor and chain for the Navy, the wedge tailed eagle in flight for the Airforce and the rising sun for the Army. A marble plaque reads IN HONOUR OF THOSE WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY, and a brass plaque at the base is inscribed: DEDICATED TO THE FALLEN “We will remember them”.
(Guitar music slows)
Martin Watego:
I love coming out here, we are able to honour them, bring our children here, our grandchildren, our children’s grandchildren up here.
Description:
Together the family explore the memorial park in the bright sunshine, they stop in front of a brick wall. The camera closes in on a shield shaped marble plaque inscribed ‘Cudgen & District Honour Roll, Great War 1914-1918’, scrolling down it stops at the names Watego G. and Watego M.
Richard Watego:
This is what they call a cenotaph. They um, honour the men and women who, ah, lost their lives in the war.
Description:
Stopped in front of the plaque, we see his family gathered around him, Richard Watego explains the significance of the memorial.
Richard Watego:
And also those who served in the wars. Our grandads are there, two of them, George and Mick, they're your great grandfathers.
Description:
We see a longer view looking back through the memorial park along a brick wall with the memorial plaques towards the family still gathered around the marble memorial.

(Guitar music quietens then changes to relaxed guitar music)
Description:
Aerial view of Logan city, clouds drifting lazily over the leafy green suburbs towards the pale blue mountains in the distance.
Text on screen:
City of Logan, Queensland.
Description:
Marie Celia Watego pushes a green garden gate open and steps into the front garden of a suburban house. There is a bright yellow and orange hibiscus in the garden. As she climbs the stairs a family member comes out to greet her with a hug. Camera cuts to a close up of a cheesecake being cut with a knife.
Marie Celia Watego:
Cutting of the cake. Woo Hoo.
Description:
Martin Watego is at a family get together, sitting at the kitchen table in front of the cheesecake which is being cut.
Martin Watego:
Well done sister. Watego cheesecake, Watego's recipe book? (laughter)
Description:
We see Marie Celia Watego leaning back in her chair, chatting, on the opposite side of the kitchen table to Martin.
(Music stops)
Marie Celia Watego:
George and Murray are my grandfathers.

Marie Celia Watego
Description:
Marie Celia is now relaxing in the lounge room wearing a brightly colour shirt that has the words ‘Wategos Reunion’ on the front. Family photos can be seen on the book shelf behind her.
Marie Celia Watego:
Both grandfathers apparently enlisted around about the same time.
(Slow sad piano music)
Description:
Zooms into black and white images from the early 20th century of Queensland South Sea Islander cane cutters in a cane field.
Marie Celia Watego:
They were all farmers, they were all labourers, and they were all down around the Tweed.
Description:
Sepia images fade into view of two young men, George and Murray “Mick” Watego, in WWI Australian Army khaki uniforms and slouch hats.
Text on screen:
GEORGE AND MURRAY “MICK” WATEGO
Marie Celia Watego:
They went and fought for ‘Country’, whereas other non-Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders fought for their country.
Description:
Marie Celia is still sitting in the lounge room.
Marie Celia Watego:
But we’re talking as Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander people about fighting for Country, and that was the difference between the two cultures there.
Description:
Louise Coutts is sitting in a light airy kitchen. On the kitchen table in front of her is a coffee cup and a large bowl of fruit.

Louise Coutts
Louise Coutts:
With what Aunty Celia and Uncle Martin are doing at the moment, you know, that’s been a real eye opener for us. Um, before that, I sort of thought, oh yeah our uncles and aunts, but getting to know them a bit more, know our grandfather a bit more personally. It’s like, wow, this is real stuff.

Martin Watego:
To think to myself, when I was that age, and someone said we had to go to war? It was just so frightening.

Australian War Memorial in Canberra
Description:
At first, we see visitors in front of a wall of red poppies, then outside a life size bronze statue of the well-known WWI Field Ambulance stretcher-bearer John Simpson Kirkpatrick guiding forward his donkey which is carrying an injured solider.
Gary Oakley:
There are great stories about service in the First World War.
Description:
Gary Oakley from the Australian War Memorial is in an apricot and white check shirt, standing speaking to camera. We can see the Australian bush in the background.

Gary Oakley Australian War Memorial
Gary Oakley:
The Watego brothers both joined in April 1916, ah most probably together though they were both sent to different battalions.
(Last post - bugle swells)
Description:
We see George and Murray Watego’s Australian Imperial Force attestation papers from 1916, and a close up of two Oaths of Allegiance signed by George and Murray Watego.
(Bugle stops and we hear birds gently tweeting)
Gary Oakley:
What motivated them? Probably several reasons. Pay, they got six, six bob a day, six shillings. Six shillings was quite a lot of money at that time.
Description:
Gary Oakley in an apricot and white check shirt is standing talking to camera with the Australian bush in the background.
Gary Oakley:
When you think the average British soldier was getting six shillings a week. So they were, they were quite well paid. The opportunity to send money home to family would probably have been another reason why they joined. The possibility that um Australian, um, the average Australian, would’ve thought differently of them when they came back to Australia because they had served their country. There would’ve been probably some patriotism involved and there would have been, I would think, the um, knowledge that they were serving Country.
Description:
Black and white photo of a banner at the end of a pedestrian bridge across a river. The Banner says ‘Kick Hard Against Slavery. ENLIST?’
(Gentle guitar music strums)
Description:
Black and white group photograph of a WWI recruiting committee, some in military and Queensland Government Railway uniforms, posing for the camera at Roma railway station in 1915.
Gary Oakley:
Once they’d passed the recruiter who’d sign them up,
Description:
Black and white photo of a WWI touring recruiting train in 1916. The steam engine is festooned with British flags and stopped at the railway station. Men women and children are gathered around the railway platform and tracks looking at the camera.
Gary Oakley:
They would have then been given a rail ticket and told to turn up at the depot at a certain time.
Description:
Black and white formal group portrait of a company of new recruits. There are eight rows of men on the stand, all in the distinctive Australian khaki green woollen uniforms with flat topped service caps. There is a military drummer sitting cross-legged on the ground in front with a military bugler either side.
Gary Oakley:
They’d have been issued a uniform and then they’d been taught the basics of soldiering, which was how to fire a rifle, how to march.
Description:
Black and white photo of new WWI army recruits pitching tents in a field.
Gary Oakley:
They would have taught them how to work together in a team.
Description:
We see an informal black and white photo of a group of diggers, sitting on the ground and standing, in front of the large doorway of a wooden shed. Camera zooms in on the central group of four diggers, one with his arms draped around the shoulder two of his army mates, one of whom is an Aboriginal man.
Gary Oakley:
And this is the interesting thing, because the AIF just saw everybody as a soldier. You had to trust each other. So all of a sudden these men would have become part of a team and been inclusive.
Description:
Gary Oakley in an apricot and white check shirt is standing talking to camera with the Australian bush in the background.
Gary Oakley:
Which is something they probably didn’t experience in their civilian lives.
(More upbeat busy music)
Description:
Black and white footage of WWI soldiers picking up their packs and preparing to move.
Gary Oakley:
They would have then been assigned to a battalion as a reinforcement. And then they would have basically been shipped across to France and Belgium.
Description:
Old faded black and white footage of WWI troops marching along a dusty road. A horse and carriage are stopped at one side, and some soldiers have climbed an embankment to let the marching soldiers pass. Three soldiers are carrying ammunition boxes.
Gary Oakley:
They would have been called up to move up to the front line to stand to and be ready for a possible attack or to attack
Description:
Black and white footage of armed Australian troops with packs marching through a wide trench. Some of the men are looking back at the camera smiling and waving their hats.
Gary Oakley:
Once they got to the front line, what they would experience would have been periods of probably intense horror.
Description:
Black and white footage of soldiers on the front line walking through a bleak landscape, in trenches and on embankments, digging in, preparing for battle.
Description:
Gary Oakley continues talking to camera with the Australian bush in the background.
Gary Oakley:
They would have actually probably had to leave their trench cross no man's land, which is um, in its own, quite a horrific experience,
Description:
Black and white footage of artillerymen loading a Howitzer battery gun and firing, shells exploding, plumes of smoke rising from the ground.
Gary Oakley:
Because you'd have to remember that the Germans will want to kill them. So they would probably be shelling their frontline, shelling them as they went over the top, shelling them and machine gunning as they tried to cross the wire and no man's land.
Description:
Black and white image of Australian infantry soldiers running into battle, rifles in hand, disappearing into a cloud of smoke rising up from the ground.
Gary Oakley:
Then when they tried to get into the German frontline, they'd been shelled and machine gunned as well. And then once you got into the frontline, if you survived, you would then have the problems of hand-to-hand combat.
Description:
BLACK AND WHITE photo of British army shells bursting on wire entanglements in front of a trench occupied by soldiers of the German army.
(Sad music swells)
Gary Oakley:
And I mean, these men would experience sheer terror. They would have experienced seeing their mates blown to pieces and torn apart, men going mad.
Description:
Black and white photos of bombs landing, exploding on the battle scorched earth. Men running, the dead lying where they have fallen.
(Music quietens and stops)
Gary Oakley:
But also, there'd have been a lot of times where they would have been bored because men don't spend the whole time that they're there in the front line.
Description:
Black and white image taken in Ypres of 30 or more Australian soldiers gathered in a circle playing ‘two up’, some wearing the felt slouch hat, others still wearing their helmets from battle.
Gary Oakley:
Behind the lines they'd either have played sport, written home to their families,
Description:
Black and white image of Australian Aboriginal soldier Billy Hughes in uniform relaxing, reading, while lying on the ground surrounded by long grass. Behind him there is the wall of a corrugated tin building.
Gary Oakley:
Talked to the local population, maybe got a bit of leave.
Description:
Black and white photo of an Australian light horseman buying winkles (molluscs) from a French lady dressed in a cape with a basket, in a village on the Somme in France. There is also a donkey and a Frenchman dressed in farm clothing watching them.
Gary Oakley:
Or like a lot of Australian soldiers, went AWOL [Absent Without Leave], then carried on a little bit,
Description:
Black and white photo of a small group of soldiers resting at the ferry landing on a river near to a derelict French farmhouse where someone has painted in large letters “ss Whizbang Circular Quay.”
Description:
Gary Oakley continues talking to camera with the Australian bush in the background.
Gary Oakley:
Which is quite interesting, because most members of the AIF at some stage in their life had been in trouble for being AWOL.
Description:
Black and white image taken after a battle, walking wounded pass by many injured soldiers lying on the ground on stretchers. There is a military truck off the road in a ditch. Empty stretchers are stacked on the right.
(Guitar strums gently)
Description:
We see an Army form B.103 Casualty Form – Active Service, 16/26 Battalion, Pte Watego, George. Then a close up of the typed words: PTE George Watego, admitted Saint Johns Hospital September Gunshot Wound Skull Dangerous, Base Records 28.9.17
Gary Oakley:
George gets a gunshot wound to the head actually on the Menin Road or just before the Battle of Menin Road, and he's invalided back to Australia because of his wounds.
Description:
Another military form, a discharge form No. 2173, PTE Watego M. 41st battalion, Casualty, Shell Shock, 15/10/17
Gary Oakley:
And his brother Murray he doesn't actually suffer a physical wound, he suffers from shell shock, and he is sent back to Australia as well.
Description:
Black and white photo of a large, and at one time luxurious, passenger ship the S.S. Balmoral Castle repainted in camouflage and requisitioned for troop movements.
Gary Oakley:
And they both are sent back to Australia on the Balmoral Castle. So they both join up together and they both come back to Australia together, but they both come back as invalids.
Description:
Black and white photo of soldiers all looking intently at the camera, most are standing, some sitting on kit bags, one with a spare pair of boots. They appear to be on a wooden wharf.
(Music slows, plucking of guitar strings)
Gary Oakley:
Returning with their mates in their battalions, they were equals.
Description:
Gary Oakley continues speaking to camera.
Gary Oakley:
As soon as they stepped off that ship onto the shores of Australia, the status quo went back to what it was, they were second rate citizens in their own country. And it didn't matter whether you were wearing a uniform or not, you were still um treated um as you were before you left.
(Music stops then becomes upbeat as image changes)
Description:
The late afternoon sun highlights the white walls of the Byron Bay lighthouse, standing proud on a cliff with the rocks and sea below. Light pink and grey clouds drift across the purple blue water.

Byron Bay, New South Wales.
Description:
View of a hazy afternoon at the beach at Byron Bay. Swimmers are enjoying the waves. We see a wide shot of Wategos Beach at Byron Bay. A wide sandy beach under a huge cloud filled sky, pierced by the bright sun sinking behind the misty headland.

And he opened up a farm out at Wategos Beach years ago, the early 30s, and um, that's where we were all, we lived, we were brought up there.
Description:
Faded black and white photo taken from the top of the headland looking down the hillside to Wategos Beach and the sea beyond. The hill is partially covered in crops and remnant bush, and there is a single farm house nestled at the base of the hill near to the sandy beach.
(Gentle guitar music)
Pat Milgate:
It was very self-sufficient, we grew everything. Wonderful fishing all around.
Description:
Pat Milgate sits talking to the camera on a very comfortable looking cream coloured lounge.
Pat Milgate:
And things were so beautiful, you know, you couldn't, you couldn't make any more of it than what it was. It was really a beautiful place.

Pat Milgate:
My eldest brother, Vincent, he was killed in El Alamein and took the heart out of the family.
(Quiet sad piano music)
Description:
A very atmospheric black and white photo capturing a moment of a military funeral. Soldiers are standing to attention in front of several sandy graves with small wooden crosses. A padre in his white religious robes is conducting the burial ceremony at the El Alamein Military Cemetery. Fades to a black and white photo of a grave in the desert. Behind a small white headstone of a rising sun, is a white wooden cross inscribed PTE V. Watego 21/8/42 with two palm fronds, a symbol of victory, triumph, peace, and eternal life.
Pat Milgate:
I'll never forget it as long as I live as if it had just happened now because the reaction from my mum and the rest of the family was just something that you couldn't um, you, you couldn't even describe.
Description:
We see the brick pillared entrance to Cudgen Memorial park then a close up of the names inscribed on one of the black marble plaques. At the bottom it reads V. Watego.
Pat Milgate:
So his name, it's there too. It might be just a name, but to us it's our family.
(Relaxing music plays)
