DESCRIPTION:Forgotten men and women from Australia in a forgotten war – Burma 1942-1945. \n \n \n \nIf you didn’t know that Australians were involved in the longest campaign of WWII\, in Burma\, in what was called ‘a forgotten war’\, this conference will illuminate the lost and compelling stories of their service\, based on the book In the Fight.   \nThe conference tells of the involvement of Australians in what became one of the great sagas of the war against the Japanese in South East Asia\, encompassing India\, Ceylon\, Burma\, China\, Thailand\, Indo-China\, Malaya\, Singapore and Sumatra. \nWhile Australian airmen attached to the Royal Air Force were heavily engaged\, many other Australians both uniformed and civilian were part of the monumental struggle to turn ‘defeat into victory’ in Burma. Australian war correspondents\, Red Cross nurses\, Royal Australian Navy sailors\, war artists\, commandos and saboteurs\, soldiers serving with the British Indian Army\, the Women’s Auxiliary Service (Burma)\, well known sportsmen\, government officials dealing with the terrible Bengal famine\, Qantas crews and POWs in the Rangoon Jail will be covered in this remarkable conference. \nClick here to download the conference program.\n9am to 5pm Saturday 16 November 2024 \nTicket Prices (Tea\, Coffee and lunch included): \nMHHV Members $75.00\nNon-Members $95.00\nConcessions/Students $85.00 \nVenue: \nCaulfield R.S.L. 4 St Georges Rd Elsternwick Victoria. \nFree all-day parking available at the shopping centre on Glen Huntly Road. \nElsternwick Train station and Tram stops within 250m (5 min walk) from the R.S.L. \n \nIn the Fight: Australians and the War in Burma 1942-1945Release Date: 04/Nov/2024Subject: WWII\, Burma CampaignPages: 399Book Type: PaperbackDimensions: 153mm x 230mmISBN: 9781923144552\n
