SUMMARY:Protector at Rabaul
DESCRIPTION:One hundred years ago Australia suffered its first casualties of World War 1. Not on a remote Turkish peninsula\, but much closer to home in what was then called German New Guinea.\nAustralia‚Äôs naval commanders were deeply worried by German cruisers north of Australia\, but the capture of German wireless telegraph stations remained a priority for the British Admiralty. Australia responded\, recruiting 500 naval reservists and 1000 volunteer infantry to form the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force (ANMEF). \nAt dawn on 11 September 1914\, small parties of naval reservists landed at Rabaul\, New Britain to seize one of the stations. It was Australia‚Äôs first land operation of World War I. Two men were killed during the action‚Äî the first Australian casualties of what became a very long and bloody war. \nThis exhibit explores the role of South Australia’s former Colonial Naval Ship Protector in this first phase of World War 1. Protector escorted the submarines AE1 and AE2 to Rabaul and guarded the harbour. It captured a German steamship Madang and a contingent of Germans on land.  Objects on display include German possessions souvenired by Australians at Rabaul and the diary of Protector’s wireless operator recording the dramatic sequence of events and the mysterious loss of AE1. A cutting edge installation developed with the Centre for Visual Technologies (University of Adelaide) uses historic photographs to create interactive 3D models of the ship. \nProtector at Rabaul is the first phase of a major exhibition to be installed in 2015 exploring the ship’s role in World War1 and the experience of South Australians in the naval theatre of war.  We would love to hear from any South Australians with ancestors who served on Protector or were involved with Navy during this time.

SUMMARY:The Ottoman Defence against the Anzac Landing 25th April
DESCRIPTION:Here is a rare opportunity to hear from an internationally renowned scholar about arguably the most important battle of the Gallipoli campaign from the Ottoman perspective.\n \nThe Ottoman Defence against the Anzac Landing: 25 April 1915 places us one step closer towards better understanding the events of this fateful day. The landing at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 represents a significant moment\, not only for Australia and New Zealand\, but also for Turkey. Yet\, despite a plethora of accounts of the landing from the allied perspective\, a detailed account from the Turkish perspective had not been published in English until now. \n \nThe Ottoman Defence begins to address this imbalance in recording and understanding historical events. The challenge to clarify the fog and confusion of war has led the author to focus exclusively on that key first day of what would become an 8-month-long battle. \nUsing Ottoman military documents\, regimental war diaries\, personal accounts and memoirs\, Uyar describes the unfolding campaign\, unravelling its complexity and resolving many of the questions that have dogged allied accounts for a century. \nSignificantly\, Uyar resolves the enduring controversy about the presence of Ottoman machine guns. He confirms that while machine gun positions had been prepared on Ariburnu\, on 400 Plateau\, and near the Fisherman’s Hut\, the initial pre-dawn landing was not opposed by machine guns\, which had been kept in reserve. The first four machine guns arrived at Scrubby Knoll on Third Ridge around 0740 hours\, and four more arrived at Chunuk Bair around 1000 hours. Four more arrived around 1530 hours. \nThe Ottoman Defence enhances our understanding of the Ottoman military forces of the time and why they proved so successful in containing and ultimately defeating the Allied invasion. It helps to provide a more balanced and complete understanding of the chaotic events of that day and as such is both interesting and valuable to students of military history. \nMesut Uyar

SUMMARY:Gallipoli 1915 - Remembering 1915 Offensive : Questions and Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Intercultural Society (AIS) and Deakin University would like you and your friends/colleagues to attend a presentation on “Gallipoli 1915 РRemembering 1915 Offensive : Questions and Commemoration”.\nRegistration is required: http://anzac2015.eventbrite.com.au. There are parking options available. \nTo commemorate the ANZAC Centenary\, AIS and Deakin University are hosting a lecture and photography exhibition to reflect on the Gallipoli campaign. The presentation will provide historical accounts from the Turkish perspective by sharing stories\, commemorating the sacrifice of the soldiers trying to defend their homeland and analyse how the campaign was pivotal in the formation of a new republic. \nWe aim to increase understanding with a lecture from Associate Professor Mesut Uyar (Visiting Fellow\, UNSW Canberra). Associate Professor Uyar is an internationally respected Turkish military historian who has held positions such as platoon leader\, company and battalion commander in various Turkish infantry units before embarking on an academic career. Karen Percy from the ABC will be moderating the session. \nThe presentation will be accompanied by photo exhibition curated from Turkish sources. Through the presentation\, the speaker will help the audience ‘look into’ and ‘look beyond’ the photos\, to instil a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by soldiers from the ‘other’ side and helps students gain a broader understanding of the historical campaign. There are many inspiring stories of friendship and sacrifice from the Turkish side that are not unlike the ANZAC stories. \nThis event is sponsored by Deakin University and the Department of Premier and Cabinet. \nThe photos can be viewed from 11:30am Р12:30pm\, which is when the lecture will start. \nRead more (Canberra Times article): http://bit.ly/1MJpf2y \nWe hope to see you there. Feel free to share with your networks. \nReport as inappropriate: http://emhs.org.au/mollom/report/mollom_content/1508263dfedf545e37

SUMMARY:31st State RSL Annual Remembrance Service
DESCRIPTION:The 31st State RSL Annual Remembrance Service will be conducted at the Springvale War Cemetery\, situated within the grounds of the Springvale Botanical Cemetery on Sunday 8th November 2015\, commencing at 2.30pm.\nWe would like to see this Service once again be one of our very special commemorative occasions.¬† This year marks the 97th year of the signing of the Armistice that ended ended World War I.¬† The Service commemorates those of our relatives and friends who paid the supreme sacrifice. \nThis year‚Äôs speaker will be Major General Dave Chalmers\, AO\, CSC (Ret)\, the First Assistant Secretary\, Commemorations and War Graves with the Department of Veterans‚Äô Affairs.¬† Last year\, Major General Chalmers was the Emcee for the Centenary Service held at Albany\, WA\, to mark the Centenary of the departure of our first convoy of troops to the Middle East and Europe and\, additionally\, he more recently acted as the Emcee for the Centenary of ANZAC Dawn Service held at Villers Bretonneux in France. \n  \nWIN Television Victoria regional news presenter\, Bruce Roberts\, will be the Service Emcee. \nThe use of hired coaches direct to the cemetery and return is recommended.¬† This option is even more attractive and viable should arrangements be made to allow the pick-up of other Sub-Branch and service group members at designated pick-up points along the route to Springvale.¬† For those travelling longer distances\, perhaps lunch somewhere along the route could be incorporated into the trip. \nTo make the use of coaches more convenient\, Sub-Branches might consider it more economical and appropriate to offer seats to those who are not normally associated with RSL or Unit Association activities.¬† Perhaps a call to the local press could assist in this way.¬† Many people throughout the State have relatives interred in the cemetery\, whilst many more have the names of relatives commemorated on name plaques in the adjacent garden of remembrance. \nOnly one tribute will be laid at the Cross of Sacrifice by the Returned Services League of Australia and that will be laid by the State President.¬† This means that Sub-Branches are not obliged to lay a tribute at the Service although they are encouraged to do so.¬† Those Sub-Branches that do may consider gifting a book on Australian military history book to a school identified by the Sub-Branch.¬† Provision will be made for the laying of Sub-Branch\, Women‚Äôs Auxiliary and personal tributes immediately following the laying of official wreaths. \nOnly the names of official wreath-bearers and Unit Associations will be announced as their tributes are conveyed to the Cross of Sacrifice.¬†  \n  \nPlease note that no announcements are made for Sub-Branch\, Women‚Äôs Auxiliary and personal tributes.¬† This has worked well in in the past and maintains a smooth flow during this most important part of the Service\, while keeping the Service from becoming too lengthy as well as maintaining dignity and respect. \nUnder cover seating will be provided\, however\, those desirous of bringing their own seats are well advised to do so. \nMedals and decorations should be worn. \nA plan showing the location of the cemetery (which is in the grounds of the Springvale Botanical Cemetery) is printed on the reverse of this Circular. \nParking is permitted on any cemetery road other than the Southern end of Second Road and Sixth Avenue along the Southern end of the cemetery. \nPLEASE RESERVE SUNDAY 8th NOVEMBER 2014 IN YOUR DIARY NOW.
