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.

SUMMARY:Humanity Under Fire - War art by Will Dyson
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:Digger statues: the Italian connection
DESCRIPTION:There are sculptures of ‚Äòdiggers‚Äô on the war memorials in many Australian towns and suburbs. The nearest is in Parkside\, on the verge of Sydney Road. Although they are hardly ever noticed\, they have been icons of Australian culture since the Boer War. But few know that many of them were actually designed and carved in Italy ‚Äì in the ancient marble workshops of Carrara ‚Äì and bought by Australian monumental masons\, who simply erected them on their pedestals. They are actually part of a long Italian tradition that goes back to Ancient Rome (and includes Michelangelo) on to which Australian iconography has been grafted. Because the tradition was that only the names of those who served and/or died should appear on our war memorials\, few artists signed their works\, so their valuable contribution to our culture was in danger of being lost forever.\nDonald Richardson OAM\, BA\, Dip.Art\, T.Dip.Art\, RSASA\, is an art and design historian who has published a book on the art and design of Australian war memorials: Creating Remembrance. Now retired\, he has taught and worked in Tasmania\, Victoria and South Australia and published several books on Australian art and design\, art education and art theory. \n  \nFree event ‚Äì RSVP essential: ihs@coasit.com.au

SUMMARY:Military Rule and Civil Order in the Counter- Revolutionary Empire
DESCRIPTION:The Rum Rebellion was one of many episodes in a neglected saga of British Imperial Governance at the turn of the nineteenth century ‚Äì the insistent muddying of civil and military order in the colonies after 1783.\nPlacing the controversy about Governor Bligh in the context of contemporary scandals about Colonel Picton of Trinidad\, Joseph Wall of Goree and Commissioner Ball of Malta\, controversies about military governance did much more than to threaten Empire with the spectre of revolution. They were used by new\, old and tenuous British subjects to expose systemic flaws in colonial constitutions and legal procedures. In the process\, they produced a transformative type of constitution talk ‚Äì a language of privileges that legitimated a peculiar\, colonial compromise between civil and military order. This compromise was foundational to the growing constitutional divide between the metropole and the colonies. \n  \nLisa Ford is Associate Professor in History at the \nUniversity of New South Wales. \nThursday 20 Aug 2015\, 1:00‚Äì2:00PM \nLocation Denis Driscoll Theatre\, \nDoug McDonnell Building \nFree \n  \nBook online

SUMMARY:Battle of Fromelles Commemorative Service
DESCRIPTION:The Battle of Fromelles commemorative service is part of the annual pilgrimage by the Friends of the 15th Brigade commemorating the battle at Fromelles\, fought on July 19\, 1916. This was the first major action involving Australian troops on the Western Front. It was planned as a diversionary attack to prevent German troops moving from this\, a relatively quiet area\, to the large battle being fought in the valley of the Somme. A mass-burial site was found near Fromelles and exhumed. It yielded the lost remains of 250 soldiers killed during the Battle of Fromelles who were reburied in individual graves in 2010\, their dignity and in the case of many\, their identity was restored.\n  \nThe service will take place at the Cobbers Statue on the Shrine Reserve.
