http://www.acwv.info/1-files/bolles-2.htm From Karen Thomson: Herbert later married Scottish-born Helen Macdonald in 1922 at Townsville, and their son Herbert W. Bolles, was born in Brisbane in 1923, before they moved to Perth, Western Australia; two years later. Herbert Bolles was manager of an insurance company and was transferred from Perth to Townsville early during WWII. On March 4, 1941 in Townsville, at age 17, Herbert W. Bolles joined the Australasian United Steam Navigation Co. as a Deck Cadet aboard the passenger ship “Ormiston”. Built in 1887, the Australasian United Steam Navigation Co. had been formed by the British India Steam Navigation Co.. In 1919 the Australasian United Steam Navigation Co. purchased a subsidiary company, the Eastern and Australian Steam Navigation Co. and cadets served in the vessels of both shipping lines. Later, Herbert was transferred from the “Ormiston” to the cargo ship “Macumb”. Luck was with Herbert because the “Ormiston” was then torpedoed in a southbound Convoy off Coffs Harbour, N.S.W. on May 12, 1943. They were sailing to Port Moresby, New Guinea in 1942 and 1943 in “Macumba” with a cargo three-tiers-high of 44 gallon drums of petrol standing on end, with the holds being filled to capacity with ammunition to supply troops.. In Sydney Herbert left the “Macumba” and joined the Eastern and Australian Steam Navigation ship “Tanda”. Again Herbert barely escaped with his life, as the “Macumb” was bombed and sunk with a great loss of life in the Arafura Sea by Japanese aircraft on August 7, 1943, on a voyage to Darwin. After Herbert’s cadet days were over and he passed his Second Mates Certificate in Sydney, he became an officer. He then became Captain Herbert W. Bolles, Merchant Navy Master and Sydney Harbour Sea Pilot and eventually retired. His brother, Alastair Stewart Bolles became the Assistant Harbour Master at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. |
