SUMMARY:In the Bag: Prisoners of War: 1915-1945

SUMMARY:Fair Dinkum (def.): honesty\, guts\, directness\, fortitude\, courage\, truth
DESCRIPTION:You had to be fair dinkum to enlist after the hell of Gallipoli hit home.\n \nA new breed of warrior and patriot stepped up as Anzac’s second wave. Among them were 152 men of the 7th Battalion – fruit pickers and farmers\, bootmakers and blacksmiths\, miners and mailmen. They fought under the colours of ‘mud and blood’ in the searing sands of Egypt\, on Gallipoli’s fatal shore\, across killing fields in France and beyond. Born in the right place at the wrong time\, the bravery and ingenuity of these young Australian men forged a legendary band of brothers: ‘The Fair Dinkums’. \nGlenn McFarlane is a senior reporter and Associate Sports Editor at Melbourne’s Herald Sun. He has been a journalist for 26 years and has written nine books\, including The Official Collingwood Illustrated Encylopedia; The Machine: The Inside Story of Football’s Greatest Team; Jock\, the story of legendary coach Jock McHale; and collaborated with champion Hawthorn footballer Shane Crawford on his bestselling autobiography\, That’s What I’m Talking About.

SUMMARY:The war on our doorstep  Australians in New Guinea 1943-45
DESCRIPTION:Australian success in Papua between July 1942 and January 1943 checked the Japanese southward advance but the victories at Kokoda\, Milne Bay and the Beachheads did not remove the Japanese presence in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea to Papua’s north. From early 1943\, Australian troops embarked upon a series of campaigns in the Mandate–at Wau (29 January – 6 February 1943)\, Salamaua–Lae (April–September 1943)\, Finisterre Range (September 1943 – April 1944) and Huon Peninsula (September 1943 – March 1944) which eradicated the enemy threat from mainland New Guinea once and for all. These campaigns\, the subject of this exhibition\, were the largest series of interconnected operations ever undertaken by the Australian military and proved every bit as gruelling and hard fought as the earlier\, more celebrated campaigns in Papua. The latter New Guinea campaigns saw Australia’s troops hone the skills and demonstrate the prowess which\, by war’s end\, had made them the world’s finest jungle fighters.\nThis temporary exhibition is located in the the Galleries of Remembrance\, a $45 million Victorian Government redevelopment that utilises 1\,600 square metres of undercroft space that exists beneath the Shrine of Remembrance. Over 800 objects are included in permanent and temporary exhibition spaces which illustrate the experiences of Australians at war and in peacekeeping operations\, from Pre-Federation to the present day\, with a particular focus on individual and unit stories of Victorian service and sacrifice. \nLast admission to the Galleries of Remembrance is 4.30pm.

SUMMARY:Soldier On: WWI Soldier Settler Stories
DESCRIPTION:Between 1918 and 1934\, the Soldier Settlement Scheme helped settle some 11\,000 returned soldiers on farming land across the state through government leases. Through original records\, as well as first-hand videos and photographs\, the exhibition shows how the Scheme shaped the Victorian landscape as we know it today.  Kate Luciano will talk about the establishment of the Soldier Settlement Scheme in Victoria\, and the harsh realities of life on a soldier settlement farm. She will show some of the success stories\, as well as the failures identified in the 1925 Royal Commission on the scheme.\nSoldier On: WWI Soldier Settler Stories is currently on show at the Old Treasury Building Museum. The exhibition features records from the state archives revealing previously untold stories of returned soldiers and the Soldier Settlement Scheme.\nKate Luciano graduated from a Masters of Public History from the University of Melbourne in 2005 and\, since then\, has worked consistently in the heritage sector. For more than 5 years\, she has been the Curator for the Public Record Office Victoria\, which has its exhibition space at the historic Old Treasury Building in Melbourne. Her area of specialty is Australian social history.
