SUMMARY:For Humanity Medicine in war and peacekeeping since 1945 - Exhibition - Last weeks
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition tells the story of medical care in war and peacekeeping since 1945… \nVictorian men and women have helped the sick and wounded across the world\, including in Korea\, Malaya\, Vietnam\, Rwanda\, East Timor\, Iraq and Afghanistan. They have braved sometimes dire conditions and desperate circumstances\, often coming under direct threat of death and harm. \nThe exhibition explores themes of life\, death and compassion: what it means to preserve life when those around you are taking it; why enemies need treatment as much as your own do; how the long term health effects of service can become apparent only decades later; and how minds can be wounded and need treatment just as bodies

SUMMARY:Fearless in Serbia
DESCRIPTION:Dr Mary De Garis of Victoria (1881–1963) was of the first ‘generation’ of Australian women to graduate from medicine in 1905. During the First World War\, Mary worked as a surgeon in a 200-bed tent hospital in northern Macedonia\, near the Balkan Front\, under the Serbian Army. \nJoin Dr Ruth Lee as she reclaims Mary’s experiences from the margins of First World War. Discover Mary’s reasons for joining the Scottish Women’s Hospitals in 1916—an organisation formed to contribute all-women\, mobile medical units to the Imperial war effort—and why her courageous service remains unknown in Australia. \nBy uncovering stories such as Mary’s we develop richer\, deeper understandings that are transformative of history and oneself. \nPresenter: Dr Ruth Lee\nDate: Friday 8 March\, midday\nLocation: Education Centre\, Shrine of Remembrance\nCost: $5.00\, free for Shrine Friends

SUMMARY:Till they all come home: Concert to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Welsh Male Choir will mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice with Till They All Come Home\, a concert expected to pack out Melbourne Town Hall on Sunday 11 November\, 3pm.\n \nThe choir hopes that veterans and their families (and others) will make a day of it and come to the concert after Remembrance Day commemorations. RSL members are eligible for a concession price ticket. \nThe 65-strong choir will be joined by ‚ÄúAustralia‚Äôs leading lady of musical theatre‚Äù\, Marina Prior\, and music legend Mike Brady AM. Much of the accompaniment will be provided by the Australian Youth Band. \nTill They All Come Home is the brain child of Mike Lyons\, who at 86\, is one of the choir‚Äôs oldest members. Lyons was born a Londoner\, and lived through the Blitz and the Battle of Britain. \n‚ÄúTill They All Come Home celebrates the music of both World War I and World War II\,‚Äù Lyons said. \n‚ÄúWorld War Iled inexorably to World War II and\, despite the passage of time\, both wars continue to resonate globally. Both continue to have dramatic and lasting effects on Australia. So much horror\, so much death\, so many lives otherwise destroyed. \n‚ÄúThrough all of this\, music both comforted and inspired. Some songs were not much more than propaganda and were destined to disappear before or soon after the cessation of hostilities. Others became big hits and have endured.‚Äù \nGrowing up during the London Blitz\, Lyons became aware of the power of music through his father\, who served with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in World War I\, and was part of a musical concert troupe entertaining servicemen and women in World War II. \n‚ÄúMusic helped us to both survive and appreciate life\, whatever the circumstances. There was no television so music\, especially live music\, was prized. Our family was twice bombed out of home by the Luftwaffe but we could put brave faces to the world thanks to songs such as Vera Lynn‚Äôs ‚ÄòWhite Cliffs of Dover‚Äô and ‚ÄòWe‚Äôll meet again‚Äô.‚Äù \nMarina Prior will perform a Vera Lynn medley with the choir as well as ‚ÄúWe‚Äôll Gather Lilacs‚Äù\, ‚ÄúSally Pride of our Alley‚Äù\, ‚ÄúWish Me Luck (As You Wave Me Goodbye)‚Äù and the Edith Piaf standard\, ‚ÄúLa Vie en Rose‚Äù. Prior‚Äôs grandfather was a World War I ANZAC\, as were all his brothers. He was shot three times and sent back to the front three times. He was only 19. She has all his records. \nPrior has performed over thirty lead roles in stage shows throughout Australia\, most memorably as Christine Daae in the original Australian production of The Phantom of the Opera\, a role she performed for three years. \nThe choir‚Äôs program includes a medley of songs from both wars\, a Gershwin showcase\, and some favourites ‚ÄúCwm Rhondda‚Äù and ‚ÄúThe World in Union‚Äù. With Mike Brady\, they will also perform Eric Bogle‚Äôs 1980 hit about World War 1\, ‚ÄúNo Man‚Äôs Land (Willie McBride)‚Äù. \nLyons said the choir was proud to be joined by singer\, songwriter and producer\, Mike Brady. \n‚ÄúOn ANZAC Day at the MCG this year\, 10 of our choristers joined forces with members of the Australian Women‚Äôs Choir to form the backing group for the debut performance of ‚ÄòThis Place is Their Place‚Äô\, Mike Brady‚Äôs song about the RSL. It was a great occasion. \n‚ÄúAt our concert\, Mike will again perform this song with us as well as another song of his\, called ‘Let it Shine’.‚Äù \nBrady‚Äôs father\, Robert\, was a Dubliner who enlisted with the British Army in 1940 and landed in Normandy a month after D-Day\, taking part in the fierce battles around Caen. His tour of duty took him through Belgium and Holland before he was wounded in 1945 and transferred to the Royal Engineers. After the war\, he served in Malaya\, repairing war damage and constructing airfields. Two of Brady‚Äôs great-uncles lost their lives on the Somme during World War I. \nBrady has been a household name since the seventies when his song\, ‚ÄúUp There Cazaly‚Äù\, became the biggest selling Australian single of all time and is now the unofficial anthem of Australian Rules Football. \n‚ÄúThe choir is also thrilled to have the Australian Youth Band (AYB) on board\,‚Äù Lyons said. ‚ÄúThe AYB is Victoria‚Äôs premier youth performance ensemble and has performed all over Australia at popular regional festivals\, major sporting events\, marching band festivals and corporate functions. It‚Äôs also done nine international tours.‚Äù \nTill The Boys Come Home: Songs & Music from World Wars 1 & 2 is the choir‚Äôs best-selling CD. The concert was initially going to be called Till The Boys Come Home but the choir decided that\, given the significant number of women who served\, particularly during World War II\, it was more appropriate to use the more inclusive Till They All Come Home. \nMelbourne Town Hall is the right place for the concert\, Lyons says ‚Äì it was a major recruitment centre during World War I and the Victorian centre for the Australian Comforts Fund (originally the Lady Mayoress‚Äôs Patriotic League) which organised ‚Äòcomforts‚Äô for soldiers on the battlefields. \nDavid Ashton-Smith OAM\, who became the choir‚Äôs director in early 2016\, will direct the concert. \nThe Melbourne Welsh Male Choir\, which formed in 1984\, is the youngest of the three Welsh male choirs in Victoria.

SUMMARY:Armistice Centenary Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:Military History and Heritage Victoria in association with the Athenaeum Club are pleased to host an Armistice Centenary Luncheon where Professor Geoffrey Blainey\, AC will be the guest speaker.\n \nGeoffrey Blainey is an Australian historian\, academic and commentator with a wide international audience. He has been described as a living national treasure. \nProfessor Blainey has been asked to reflect on the impact of the First World War on Australia and the legacy impacts after the Armistice. \n \nScarcely a family was left untouched; the survivors needed both physical and mental care as did the widows and orphans\, all generating a massive repatriation scheme. The shortage of eligible husbands and unemployment interacted with some changed social attitudes\, plus continuing social divisions and suspicions\, to offset the increased confidence about national undertakings. \nGeoffrey Blainey has written authoritative texts on the economic and social history of Australia and published over 35 books\, including wide-ranging histories of the world and of Christianity. \nHe was one of five intellectuals awarded a UN Gold Medal in 1988 for ‚Äòexcellence in the dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of mankind‚Äô. \nGeoffrey Blainey was once described by Professor Graeme Davison as the ‚Äúmost prolific\, wide-ranging\, inventive and most controversial of Australia’s living historians‚Äù. \nAs the most insightful historian of his generation Geoffrey Blainey‚Äôs address promises to be highly considered and encourage deep reflection. He has also agreed to take questions from the audience. \nLunch includes two-courses\, beer and wine in magnificent surrounds.\n Dress: Jacket and tie for gentlemen and equivalent for ladies. Medals.\n Address: 87 Collins Street\, Melbourne.\n Timings: 12.30 for 1.00 pm on Sunday 11 November 2018.\n Cost: MHHV members – $100. Non-MHHV Members – $110. \nNo concessions available. \n¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬†¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬†¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬† ¬†

SUMMARY:For Humanity  Medicine in war and peacekeeping since 1945 - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition tells the story of medical care in war and peacekeeping since 1945.
