SMITH Sir Ross
The Diggers' Gazette. Official Organ of the Returned Sailors' and Soldiers' Imperial League of Australia South Australian Branch. Volume V Number 3 21st June 1922
Adelaide: RSSILA SA 1922. First Edition. Paperback. Fair. Adelaide RSSILA SA 1922. Quarto 48 pages with numerous illustrations many from photographs; Oswald Pryor's cartoons appear throughout. Drop-title wrappers; staples slightly rusty; the entire journal is a little creased with a few light marks and other mild signs of use and age; short tear to the leading margin of the last leaf expertly sealed; overall a decent copy of a very rare item. This issue covers in depth the funeral of Sir Ross Macpherson Smith 1892-1922; there are 12 pages devoted to it with 11 illustrations 10 from photographs and a full-page illustration by Oswald Pryor. Adelaide-born Smith enlisted in August 1914 'as a private in the 3rd Light Horse Regiment Australian Imperial Force and on 1 October was promoted sergeant. He embarked for Egypt on 22 October and landed on Gallipoli on 13 May 1915. On 11 August he attained the rank of regimental sergeant major and was commissioned second lieutenant on 5 September. Invalided to England in October he was promoted lieutenant on 1 March 1916 and three weeks later embarked for Egypt to rejoin his old regiment. With the 1st Light Horse Brigade 1st Machine-Gun Squadron his principal action occurred during the battle of Romani on 4 August 1916. In July 1917 he responded to a call for volunteers to join the Australian Flying Corps the transfer taking effect on 4 August'. The historic flight from England to Australia in November and December 1919 by Ross and his brother Keith and their two crew members brought them instant and lasting fame. 'The next proposal to fly round the world in a Vickers Viking amphibian ended in disaster. Both brothers travelled to England to prepare for the trip and on 13 April 1922 while Ross and his long-serving crew member Bennett were test-flying the aircraft at Weybridge near London it spun into the ground from 1000 feet 305 m killing both. Keith who arrived late for the test flight witnessed the accident. Ross had not flown at all for many months and had never flown this type of aircraft. The investigating committee concluded that the accident had been the result of pilot error. The flight was abandoned. The bodies of Sir Ross Smith and Lieutenant Bennett were brought home to Australia and after a state funeral Smith was buried in Adelaide on 15 June' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'.

SMITH, S. Percy
Volcanic Eruption at Tarawera, New Zealand: Resulting Topographical Changes in the District. [With Map]
3 pages. Plus a fold-out colour map measuring approximately 7 x 7.5 inches (18 x 19cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. A brief account accompanied by an an incredible early colour map of the deadly volcanic explosions in the Tarawera districts of New Zealand. Tarawera Mountain is a volcanic peak, situated on the North Island, New Zealand, in Rotorua. Its eruption in 1886 destroyed villages and unique silica terraces, transformed local terrain, and temporarily drained Lake Rotomahana. June 10th 1886, shortly after midnight, earthquakes are felt in Te Wairoa and Rotorua. The area is renowned for tremors and no-one is too worried. Residents sleep blissfully unaware of the impending danger. Around 1:30am there is a violent earthquake followed by the sound of an explosion. Sleepy residents look in terror across the lake to see Tarawera's Wahanga dome, exploding into life. The eruption cloud was about 9.5 km high and easily visible, being lit up by the mountain's continuing eruption and accompanying lightning storm. For half an hour, the spell bound residents stare in awe at the scene before them, a few sense the danger and head toward the safety of nearby Rotorua. At 2.00am, there is a second explosion as the Ruawahia peak, and then the Tarawera peak erupt with all the fury that mother nature can muster. So loud was the second explosion, that it was heard in Christchurch over 800 kilometres south. In Wellington 400km south, locals believed that Russians were invading New Zealand by way of bombing. The amazing lightning storm above the second Tarawera eruption was visible as lights in the sky from New Zealand's South Island. Eyewitnesses near the mountain reported that Mount Tarawera had split open, and that a huge column of fire could be seen shooting up into the air and forming a black cloud of smoke and ash. In fact, a 17km fissure had been created down the length of the Tarawera complex. Near Rotorua, New Zealand: At 2:00am 10 June 1886, terrified families awoke to a rumbling giant, the noise was heard over 500 kilometres away. The mountain, lit by a tremendous display of lightning, rained ash upon her neighbours and began the deadly renovation of her buried landscape. This spectacular map provides the visual account of Mount Tarawera, the volcano that stole more than life.
