SUMMARY:“Oswald Watt: a legend of the Australian Flying Corps” with Dr Chris Clark
DESCRIPTION:Oswald Watt ended the First World War as the senior officer of the Australian Flying Corps\, commanding the AFC’s largest single formation: No 1 Training Wing based in England. A greatly admired and respected figure\, his chance to make a lasting impression on Australia’s post-war history was cut short by a drowning accident in May 1921. Even so\, his reputation has lingered ever since\, yet there remains a great deal of misinformation and half truths about Watt’s life and career which borders on mythology. This talk will explain what inspired the writing of the first full biography of Oswald Watt\, and outline the many areas where previous understanding of his historical significance has fallen short of reality.\nChris Clark is a prolific author of Australian military history\, with many of his titles previously published under the name “Coulthard-Clark”. He has written across all three armed services\, from colonial times to the present\, producing biographies\, institutional and operational histories. He authored one of the volumes of the Official History of Australia’s involvement in South East Asian conflicts 1948-75 (covering RAAF operations in Vietnam) but is probably best known for his Encyclopaedia of Australia’s Battles. His biography of Oswald Watt appeared in September 2016.

SUMMARY:“Monash & Chauvel” presentation by Professor Roland Perry
DESCRIPTION:One of the misnomers of the Great War was that Australia was ‘fighting above its weight.’\n \nIn fact\, Monash’s 1st AIF was the biggest of 20 Allied Armies on the Western Front; Harry Chauvel’s Desert Mounted Column in the Middle East was 75 per cent Anzac. \nIf anything\, Australia was the weight on the two biggest war fronts in the critical and deciding year of 1918. \nThis presentation follows the release of his latest book in October 2017. \nRoland Perry is a distinguished historian and author of a number of books on Australian military history including Monash: The Outsider Who Won a War and The Australian Light Horse. He won the prestigious Fellowship of Australian Writers National Literary Award for non-fiction (2004) with Monash. \nIn October 2011 Perry was made a Fellow of Monash University. He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia ‚Äòfor service to literature as an author‚Äô in June 2011. Monash University bestowed a Professorship on Roland Perry in October 2012. He is the University‚Äôs first Writer-in-Residence\, lecturing PhDs and PhD aspirants on all aspects of writing\, and Australian history.

SUMMARY:“Myths of Australia’s Vietnam War” with Professor Peter Edwards
DESCRIPTION:The Vietnam War\, Australia‚Äôs most controversial conflict of the twentieth century\, gave rise to an extraordinary number of myths. \n \nEven 50 years later\, many half-truths are asserted as if they were unchallengeable. \nThis talk looks at some assertions about the military\, strategic\, political\, and social aspects of Australia‚Äôs war that deserve to be challenged or questioned. \n  \nPeter Edwards (AM\, DPhil\, FAIIA) is a distinguished writer\, historian and biographer. \nHe is probably best known as the Official Historian of Australia‚Äôs involvement in the 1948-75 South East Asian conflicts (Malaya\, Borneo and Vietnam) for which he was the general editor of the nine volume series and author of two of the volumes. \nHis latest book is a summary of the series\, Australia and the Vietnam War (2014). Amongst his many other achievements and positions\, Peter is a former Trustee of the Shrine of Remembrance. \nPeter is also a Vice Patron of MHHV.

SUMMARY:The Chinese ANZACS - Last Days
DESCRIPTION:The stories of Chinese Anzacs have tended to be untold within the larger story of the First World War. During the Anzac Centenary\, there has been renewed interest in understanding the experiences of Australia‚Äôs diverse cultural groups during the First World War. Chinese Anzacs served in many roles and in many theatres of war.\nThe stories in our present exhibition shed light on individual wartime experiences\, the challenges of being an Australian soldier of Chinese ancestry\, as well as the challenges for such soldiers on return to civilian life. While recruitment policies at the time were racially discriminatory\, most Chinese ‚ÄìAustralians who successfully enlisted completed their war service with the acceptance and respect of their fellow soldiers. There were over 220 Chinese who in listed in the AIF\, many gave the supreme sacrifice\, and many were awarded many medals of Gallantry. \nThis exhibition at Box Hill RSL\, gives not only our members an insight into Chinese Anzacs\, but also the General public\, who are also invited to view this most comprehensive exhibition. \n
