War. It contained the following statement: "Anzac stood, and still stands, for reckless valour in a good cause, for enterprise, resourcefulness, fidelity, comradeship, and endurance that will never own defeat", thereby outlining what has become known as the Anzac tradition. In 1948 Bean's Gallipoli Mission was published. It told the story of the visit by the members of the Historical Mission to Gallipoli in 1919. The Mission had retraced the landing and the fight up the range, and with the assistance of a Turkish officer, Major Zeki Bey who served through the campaign, was able to follow the Turk defence system. In 1950 Bean's commissioned history of the independent corporate schools of Australia was published. The strength of "The Arnold Tradition", as Bean there labelled it, is manifest in it. The title, Here, My Son was derived from Sir Henry Newbolt's poem on the chapel at Clifton, Bean's former school in England. In 1951 Bean and his wife visited England and when they returned to Australia it was by a migrant ship, on which Bean was employed as a migration officer. Towards the end of his life Bean planned to write a series of biographies but only one was written: Two Men I Knew: William Bridges and Brudenell White, Founders of the A.I.F., which was published in 1957. It was his last book. Honours Bean did not seek personal honours. He declined a knighthood on more than one occasion but accepted other acknowledgments and honours for his work. In 1913 The Royal Society of the Arts awarded him its Silver Medal. He was Mentioned in Despatches(1915). In 1930, the Royal United Services Institute in London awarded him the Chesney Gold Medal. In the same year the University of Melbourne awarded him its degree of D.Litt. and in 1959 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws by the Australian National University, an institution which he had been one of the first to foresee. Legacy Bean was admitted to Concord Repatriation Hospital in Sydney in 1964 suffering from dementia and died on 30 August 1968.
