British Army 24th (Tyneside Irish) Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers
from:Leadgate
Alexander Hogan was discharged in 1917
Lt. Arthur Douglas Hogan
Australian Imperial Force 21st Battalion
from:Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia
(d.9th October 1917)
Arthur Hogan was born on 30th of November 1886 in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He was an optician and jewellery salesman by trade, and prior to enlisting in April 1915, had been living in the Riverina town Wagga Wagga for three years. There, he was employed by the town's oldest business, Messrs. Hunter Bros. (which still exists today), as Manager of their jewellery department. He was almost 29 years old when he enlisted.
He undertook his basic military training at Broadmeadows Camp in Victoria, where he also attended the 6th Officer's School of Instruction. After receiving his Commission (2nd Lieutenant) on 16 July 1915, he sailed from Melbourne aboard the 'Nestor' on 11 October, arriving in Suez two months later.
As part of the 5th Battalion, he was stationed in Egypt for the next three months. In February 1916, he was invalided back to Australia for 3 months' change, having contracted paratyphoid fever. On his arrival back in Australia, he returned to Broadmeadows, and transferred from the 5th Battalion to the 13th. On 3rd of July 1916, he once again left Australia, this time, bound for the battlefields of the Western Front.
On 11th of December 1916, Arthur was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, serving with the 21st Battalion. In March 1917, during the fighting around Bapaume, Arthur was shot through the left thigh. Although a severe injury, he was lucky that it hit neither nerves nor bone. 8 days later, he was admitted to the 8th General Hospital at Rouen, before being shipped back to England and admitted to the Kitchener Military Hospital at Brighton. In May 1917, Arthur was transferred from Brighton to Cobham Hall, an Australian convalescent hospital in Kent. He was discharged from Cobham Hall in June 1917, and from there, travelled to Perham Downs near Tidmouth, where he finished his convalescence.
On 3rd of July 1917, Arthur returned to France. On 10 August, he was appointed Bombing Officer with the 6th Brigade.
Early on the morning of 4th of October 1917, the Battle of Broodseinde Ridge began. A large operation, involving 12 divisions, the Australian troops involved were shelled heavily on their start line, and one seventh of their number became casualties even before the attack began. The cost of this battle for the Australians was high, with Australian divisions suffering 6,500 casualties.
Arthur fell on 9th of October 1917, most probably shot by a sniper. His Battalion Commander wrote, in a letter to his mother: 'I happened to be in command of the attack on 9th of October and unhesitatingly chose him for my central commander. He fell gallantly leading the attack on the German positions over Broodseinde Ridge between Dairy and Daisy Woods. He leaves a great gap in the battalion where he was admired, respected and even loved by all ranks. He had previously done splendid work for the battalion on the Somme and was certain to have secured fitting recognition for this work. He was a gallant soldier and met a gallant end.'

Sgt. James Hogan
British Army 12th Btn. King's (Liverpool) Regiment
from:County Tipperary, Ireland
James Hogan was my paternal grandfather. He never spoke of his time in the First World War. We have a copy of his Certificate of 'Transfer to Reserve' on demobilization, dated 18/4/1919, which is not fully legible. Family members, who have since passed, have said that my grandfather was escaping the Germans by swimming the river Somme and that he was shot 5 times. He was put in the "Dead Shed" and whilst a dead body was brought in afterwards, it was noticed that he was moving and taken out.
This is the full extent of our knowledge of James Hogan's service in the British Army and we would be obliged if anyone could furnish us with any further information whatsoever. Thank you in advance for anything you may be in a position to let us have.

Major Oliver "Bluegum" Hogue
Australian Imperial Force 6th Light Horse Regiment
from:Australia
Oliver Hogue was born in Sydney on 29 April 1880. Despite growing up in the city, his ability at sports and his skill as a horseman led Hogue to consider himself a bushman and, after completing school, he travelled thousands of miles by bicycle along Australia's east coast. He worked as a commercial traveler before joining the Sydney Morning Herald in 1907 as a journalist. After the outbreak of the First World War Hogue tried unsuccessfully to become Australia's official war correspondent and instead enlisted as a trooper with the 6th Light Horse Regiment. He departed Sydney aboard HMAT Suevic on 21 December 1914.
Hogue served on Gallipoli for five months before being evacuated to England with enteric fever. He returned to his unit in the Sinai region in early 1916. Hogue developed a reputation as a loyal and enthusiastic officer unafraid of front-line service, and he was a regular writer to both his family and his former employer. Writing under the pseudonym "Trooper Bluegum", his contributions to the Sydney Morning Herald were published as books back in Australia. After participating in the battle of Romani in August 1916 he was transferred to the Imperial Camel Corps (ICC) and was involved in the battles of Magdhaba, Rafa, and Gaza in 1917. In letters home Hogue frequently referred to the fearlessness and achievements of the Australian troops, especially at Romani. He was also critical of the British press coverage of the war, which largely overlooked the accomplishments of the ICC and Australian troops in general.
July 1918 Hogue was transferred to the 14th Light Horse Regiment and participated in the advance through the Jordan Valley. He was also promoted to major at this time. After reaching Damascus, and with the Turkish surrender in October, Hogue took leave to England in January 1919. Having survived the entirety of the First World War he soon after contracted influenza and died in London on 3 March 1919.
