  EnrolledPensionerGuard

  
  

• Notes

  From "Record of Early Settlers in WA" Arrived as an Enrolled Pensioner Guard with wife and childern (formerly Private in Royal Marines) Stationed at Pt Gregory, Champion Bay 1856 then Greenough Farmer Enrolled Pensioner Guards and Warders (http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/pen-wa.html) Life in the mid-nineteenth century British Army was harsh. Soldiers were mainly recruited from the rural working class and often enlisted under dubious circumstances. Their barracks were squalid and overcrowded. Daily rations consisted of a pound of bread and coffee for breakfast and three quarters of a pound of boiled meat for lunch. They earned a basic wage of a shilling a day but little was left after money was deducted for food, laundry, haircuts and medical treatment. With that in mind, a free passage to a new land; six months employment and a grant of land would have been an attractive choice for many service pensioners. Bound for Western Australia In 1850, as a part of its emigration policy, the Home Government in England began to send out parties of military pensioners to Australia and by 1864 when the policy ended, the influx of pensioners and their families had resulted in an increase in the Western Australian population of over 2000 people. As with Tasmania, retired soldiers were recruited and encouraged to accompany convicts on their voyages to Western Australia and in all over 1100 Western Australian guards have been identified. The pensioners were not retained as permanent convict guards after the voyages and in many cases their families travelled with them. Generally they sought a work among the free settlers in the colony, but were always on hand to help in case of an outbreak among the prisoners. To encourage them to stay in the colony, they were offered an allotment of ten acres of land which they could select and lease for seven years and then own freehold. As an extra incentive, a gratuity of £10 was given to each of them and they were promised the use of convict labour to help clear the land. Nearly all of the pensioners accepted the above offer and many pensioner blocks were still owned by their descendants at the beginning of the first World War. When the Governor of Western Australia wrote to England seeking re-inforcements for his garrison of regular soldiers he found that owing to political unrest in Europe all he was offered was a suggestion to make use of the military pensioners in the colony and enrol them as an auxiliary force to the existing regular soldiers. Accordingly, Captain John Bruce, who had arrived in the colony with the first detachment, was appointed Staff Officer to the newly established Enrolled Pensioner Force and at one time the unit numbered over 600 men. They assisted the line companies in the various garrison duties and finally assumed all responsibilities when the last of the Queen's troops left Fremantle for Hobart on March 8, 1863. The Enrolled Pensioner Guard uniform consisted of dark greyish-brown trousers with a scarlet stripe down the leg; knee length dark blue surcoats with facings of red & yellow; dandified epaulettes and a tall, regulation hat. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/u/n/Sharon-Bunter/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0092.html
