SUMMARY:Kokoda and Beyond: Papua and New Guinea 1942-1945
DESCRIPTION:In early 1942 the Japanese set their sights on capturing Papua & New Guinea. \n \nA series of defensive battles at Milne Bay and along the Kokoda Track\, as well as the naval victories in the Coral Sea and at Midway Island put the Japanese on the back foot. \nThen followed a series of Allied offensive operations that drove the Japanese back and provided the springboard for General Douglas MacArthur’s successful advance into the Netherlands East Indies and the Philippines. \nThis one day conference examines this critical period of Australia’s military history. This conference will include fresh analysis and insights from a highly informed and relevant range of historians and veterans. \nDr Adrian Thelfall\, author of Jungle Warriors: From Tobruk to Kokoda and beyond\, how the Australian Army became the world’s most deadly jungle fighting force is the keynote speaker. \nDr Ian Pfennigwerth will examine the naval aspects of the campaign\, James Bowen the land aspects and Dr Mark Johnson the air force aspects. \nNeil Sharkey and David Howell will consider how the campaign is remembered and interpreted. \nAnd most significantly\, a panel of veterans from these battles will relate their experiences and perspectives. \nThe conference\, convened by Military History and Heritage Victoria Inc.\, will be held at the Pompey Elliot Memorial Hall at the Camberwell RSL on Saturday 16 April 2016. \nThe full conference program is attached. Entry fee $50 for MHHV members and concession\, $75 for General Admission.

SUMMARY:Voices from Afghanistan - last days
DESCRIPTION:Some Australians who have fought in Afghanistan were only starting primary school when the war started after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. For thirteen years Australia’s servicemen and women have served\, often in multiple deployments. They were sent to bring stability and security to a country that has known little of either for a generation.

SUMMARY:HMAS Goorangai March and Service - 2015
DESCRIPTION:It was November 20\, 1940 when the 230-ton Castle Class auxiliary minesweeper left her berth for the last time – cut in half in the darkness of a gale that evening by the 8364 ton troopship HMAT DUNTROON at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay.\nThe little ship\, a member of Minesweeping Group 54\, had been crossing the narrow entrance from Queenscliff\, where she had unloaded vegetables\, and was seeking shelter on the other side. \nOnce the bows of DUNTROON loomed high over her amidships\, her skipper David McGregor RANR and his entire crew of 23 were doomed. \nThe troopship\, steaming under wartime restrictions\, could not stop\, but sounded siren blasts to alert rescue craft in Queenscliff\, but in vain. Only seven bodies were ever recovered. \nIt was the RAN‚Äôs first loss in WWII and its first surface ship loss in any era (the only WW1 losses being the submarines AE1 and AE2). \nGOORANGAI was another of the many former fishing trawlers requisitioned from Carlo Camaniti’s fishing fleet\, Cam and Sons Ltd of Balmain\, Sydney\, and the first of two to be involved in notable wartime tragedies – the second being the extraordinary events surrounding the sinking of HMAS PATRICIA CAM by a Japanese float plane. \nGoorangai had been built at the State Dockyard\, Newcastle (NSW) in 1919\, for a short-lived State Government fishing venture. and was requisitioned from Cams at the outbreak of the war in September 1939. \nShe had taken part in sweeping operations around Wilson‚Äôs Promontory and Cape Otway\, after mines were laid in these areas early in the war by German raiders\, and had sunk the US merchant vessel City of Rayville\, and the British steamer Cambridge on the 7th and 8th of the same¬†month as Goorangai‚Äôs loss. \nGoorangai’s wreck\, laying in only 15m of water\, was demolished the following January as a shipping hazard\, but later designated an Historic Shipwreck site. The site remains popular with divers\, and apparently steel plates are scattered over a 200 sq m area of the seabed\, a small boiler can be seen\, and occasionally the rushing tides still undercover wartime gas masks. \nIn 2004\, the Royal Australian Naval Professional Studies Program initiated a series of occasional papers focusing on subjects related to the Naval Reserve: the series was named Goorangai\, after the ship. \nAs the RAN now begins to look back more on its history\, in 2006 a WW11 mine with a plaque attached was unveiled at a memorial service in Queenscliff Reserve\, recalling the memory of Goorangai and those lost. \n11:10 Marchers fall in\, King Street\n11:30 Service commences Ocean View Reserve\n12:30 Lunch\, RSL Hall\, King Street (must book)\nDress: Medals please

SUMMARY:Humanity Under Fire - War art by Will Dyson - Final Week
DESCRIPTION:The Shrine of Remembrance presents an exhibition to mark the centenary of when Australia’s first official war artist\, Will Dyson\, first began working on the Western Front.\nThe incisive political insight of Dyson’s cartoons\, particularly the Kultur Cartoons on the rise of militarism\, had gained him international acclaim. On his appointment as an official war artist\, Dyson shifted the focus of his drawings from grand political narratives to individual soldiers and their hardships in combat. Dyson depicted the miserable conditions\, loneliness and suffering and the wry\, understated humour of the ordinary soldier. \nThe exhibition presents some of Dyson’s best known work\, focusing on the limited edition lithographs made from his frontline sketches. Oil paintings on loan from the Australian War Memorial give further insight into the breadth of his art.

SUMMARY:Commemorating The Great War in a Community Museum
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will present a community-engagement project which was focused on the development of the museological skills of volunteers running the LifeCare retirement village’s War Museum. University of Melbourne conservation students have worked with residents and volunteers for the past 5 years to help them establish good museum practices. The students’ appreciation of their positive contribution to stakeholder engagement\, community museums and commemorative displays deepened as residents demonstrated the links between their wartime experiences and the collection. With increasing professional activity the museum’s public profile expanded\, inducing more residents to contribute more time\, objects and stories to the museum.\nThe project’s beneficial outcomes‚Äîeducational\, personal and community‚Äîdemonstrate that people learn by solving real problems and can succeed at challenging tasks when the process means something to them\, personally. \nSophie Lewincamp has been the project manager for the RSL LifeCare Community Engagement and Conservation Project since 2012 collaborating with CCMC students & alumni\, Australian War Memorial staff and RSL LifeCare Veterans. In 2012\, the project was awarded The University of Melbourne Vice-Chancellor‚Äôs Staff Engagement Grant.
