SUMMARY:The Battle of the Books: the RUSI’s Fromelles Collection
DESCRIPTION:Dr Jonathan Burdon\, AM\, Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) member and President of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Antiquarian Booksellers will present a talk on The Battle of the Books: the RUSI’s Fromelles Collection at 401 Collins St Melbourne at 6:30 pm on Monday 18thJuly 2016.\nThe talk is presented as part of Melbourne’s internationally-copied Rare Book Week. It surveys the extensive holdings of the 126-year-old Library that relate to the battle. Though Fromelles was a one-night battle\, the debates that rage about it have generated a large published and un-published literature in book and ephemeral forms. Our holdings date from 1919 to the present. There are battle and unit histories\, biographies of the commanders\, plays\, juvenile accounts\, fiction\, archival research reports\, photos\, battlefield guides\, commemorative programs and many more. Dr Burdon will assess the historical value of each item – the collection will be available for viewing after the talk. \nFromelles had a short duration and a tragicresult but has become Australia’s best-documented battle of the Western Front. \nPlease support this presentation by your RUSI!

SUMMARY:With Horse & Morse – Australian signallers in Mesopotamia\, Persia & Kurdistan 1918-1919
DESCRIPTION:Dr Andrew Kilsby presents the¬†images of soldier photographer E K Burke\, who served with the 1st Australian Signals Squadron in 1918-1919.Burke was both a signaller and a photographer\, and the exhibition shows images of not only the operations of the signals squadron from training through embarkation to the deserts and mountains of the then Mesopotamia\, Persia and Kurdistan\, but also images of everyday life and places in those regions through his ‚Äòmilitary tourist‚Äô eye.\nThe British and Indian Army offensive to capture Baghdad in Mesopotamia (now Iraq) ended in ignominious defeat at the hands of the Turks in 1916.¬† But with fresh resolve new forces were assembled which captured Baghdad in March 1917\, supporting the Palestine campaign and keeping pressure on the Turkish armies as they retreated.¬† With the collapse of the Russian Armies in the region because of the Russian Revolution\, a new mixed Imperial and colonial unit initially called Dunsterforce\, attempted to support and train local militias in Persia (now Iran) to keep the pressure on the Turks and their German allies in the theatre. With the end of the war\, Allied forces remained in place and also moved into northern Kurdistan to keep the peace. Throughout the campaign in Mesopotamia\, Persia and Kurdistan\, an Anzac signals squadron and later an all Australian signal squadron supported the far flung operations in these regions\, providing signals intelligence as well as strategic and tactical communications as they trekked using horses\, mules and Ford motor vans. The last troop of the 1st Australian Signal Squadron did not return home until November 1919\, the last AIF unit to do so. \n \nDr Andrew Kilsby is an independent historian.¬† He has convened numerous military history conferences and curated exhibitions\, as well as written several military history books\, including The Forgotten Cruiser (with Greg Swinden) and The Riflemen. \nHe was curator for the exhibition With Horse & Morse in Mesopotamia & Kurdistan 1918-1919 at the Highway Gallery\, which highlighted the images of signaller-photographer E K Burke. \n

SUMMARY:Australia’s Worst 24 Hours: The Disaster of Fromelles
DESCRIPTION:The battle of Fromelles in July 1916 remains the worst 24 hours in Australian history. How could such a calamity occur?

SUMMARY:Return of the Catalina - Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:In 1942\, Singapore fell to the Japanese and with it the vital air route that delivered top secret communications between Britain and Australia. A group of aviators from Australia re-established the route flying unarmed PBY Catalina flying boats for up to 32 hours across enemy territory. In order to recognise these unsung heroes\, a museum in Outback Australia devised an ambitious plan—to restore a seventy year old Catalina flying boat and fly 18\,000km across the world\, from Spain to Longreach. Join us on this journey of hardship and perseverance\, in memory of a few brave men forgotten to history.\nBookings can be made online at www.shrine.org.au/bookings \nGroups larger than ten can be booked in via our public programs officer Leigh Gilbert\, 03 9661 8107 or lgilburt@shrine.org.au.
