SUMMARY:For King and Country: East Melbourne and the Great War
DESCRIPTION:When Britain declared war in August 1914\, Australians reacted with enormous patriotism. Young men in their thousands signed up to serve in what would be a long drawn out and bloody conflict in which 60\,000 young Australians died\, about one in ten of all men aged between 18 and 40. Young women\, too\, volunteered to serve as nurses\, often ahead of their brothers. Though only a small suburb\, there were over 770 with some connection Рbirth\, work\, housing – to East Melbourne.\nOn 16 October\, the East Melbourne Historical Society will open an exhibition recalling the life and service of some of those who volunteered. Called ‘For King and Country’\, it will commemorate the service of sixteen volunteers who served in World War 1 at Gallipoli\, Egypt\, France\, Belgium and the minor theatres of war. \nThe exhibition will be free and open to the public from 17 October-11 November at the East Melbourne Library\, 122 George St\, East Melbourne.

SUMMARY:D-Day Experiences of an RN Commando
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker is Commander Jim Speed DSC RAN Ret.\n70 years ago\, Jim Speed was a young Sub/Lt Commando on Sword Beach Red. \nThe Commandos job was to land on the beach prior to the landing craft and assist the unloading of troops by holding the landing craft staying ‘bows on the beach’. Thus it was that Jim met the first wave of the landing come in to the beach\, observing history being made whilst under fire! \nJim’s first day also involved helping with the removal of the obstacles and marking the location of sunken landing craft. The first night\, and the two after\, they had to man the perimeter trenches in readiness for the expected counter attack. There was still a lot of the enemy not far away! \nThis is a brief summary of just part of Jim Speed’s story. After the war Jim rejoined the Royal Navy. Intrigued????. Indeed there is much more to tell . \nJim Speed was awarded his DSC for his services in Normandy!! That’s a story on it’s  own! \nJoin us at The Melbourne Naval Centre for a special evening. \nDate \nMonday 25 August 2014 \nTime: \n7.30 pm \nLocation: \nThe Melbourne Naval Centre \n146W Toorak Road\, South Yarra \n(Melways 2LE4 – opposite Fawkner Park in the ESU Building). \nNote: \nThe Centre opens at approximately 6.30pm to facilitate use of our excellent library.

SUMMARY:INTERFET: Reflections on the 1999 East Timor Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Following the vote in favour of self-determination in 1999 chaos engulfed East Timor. Dozens  of buildings burned\, thousands of people were displaced from their  homes and some were injured or killed. World-wide outrage denounced the  horror and demanded “something must be done!” Within days a UN mandated  Australian-led multi-national force named ‘INTERFET’ (International  Force East Timor) arrived on 20 September 1999 with Indonesian agreement  and support to restore security and order. \n \nWhat was the crisis and how did it come about? What events led to it?  What factors were influencing events? What did INTERFET achieve or fail  to achieve? How did the crisis impact on relationships in the region in  the short and longer term?  What can the INTERFET experience teach us  for the future? \nOn the 15th Anniversary of the 1999 crisis in East Timor – this  two-day international conference will initiate the process of examining  these and other questions. The aim of the conference is to write into  the public record different perspectives and responses to the long  dormant questions for the benefit and further development of history and  scholarship. \nIn the absence of an Australian official history\, and with relations  between Indonesia\, Australia and Timor Leste in need of greater  understanding and enrichment\, key participants in the events of that  period are gathering together at the prestigious RACV Club in Melbourne  on 20 and 21 September 2014 to reflect on the significance of INTERFET  then and since. \nMilitary History and Heritage Victoria in partnership with the  Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the ANU have gathered an  impressive array of speakers – most of whom were involved first hand at  the international\, national and operational levels. \nThe two keynote speakers are His Excellency the Prime Minister of Timor Leste\, Xanana Gusmao\, and His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia (the former Commander of INTERFET). \nThe international panel of distinguished speakers includes Lieutenant  General Kiki Syahnakri (Retired) who was the Indonesian Martial Law  Administrator at the time of the crisis\, and author of Timor Timur: The  Untold Story; Major General Orlando Ambrocio (Retired) who was the  Commander of the Philippines Humanitarian Support Mission to East Timor;  Colonel Kevin Burnett\, ONZM (Retired)\, former Commanding Officer the 1  RNZIR Battalion Group; and Major General Surasit Thanadtang. \nSpeakers from the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the ANU  include Admiral Chris Barrie (Retired)\, former Chief of the Australian  Defence Force\, and Doctor John Blaxland\, former Intelligence Officer for  West Force\, INTERFET. \nDoctor Blaxland\, whose recently published book The Australian Army  from Whitlam to Howard included a chapter on INTERFET\, will edit the  conference proceedings for publication. Doctor John Blaxland said that  “the conference is even more important given the absence of an official  Australian history for INTERFET.” \nLieutenant General Ash Power\, AO\, CSC (Retired)\, former Colonel  Operations INTERFET; Lieutenant General Mark Evans\, AO DSC (Retired)\,  former Commander WESTFOR\, INTERFET; Brigadier Jeff Wilkinson\, AM  (Retired)\, former Commander Logistic Support Force; Professor Damien  Kingsbury\, author of East Timor: The Price of Liberty; and Associate  Professor Bob Breen\, author of Mission Accomplished\, East Timor: The ADF  Participation in INTERFET will also be speaking at the Conference. \nAssociate Professor Bob Breen acknowledged that much additional  information had come to light over the past 14 years that warranted a  review of events\, causation and unintended consequences surrounding  INTERFET. “It’s important to get the benefit of time and the  perspectives of different stakeholders to get a holistic understanding  of these historic events” said Professor Breen. \nThe Conference will be held in the prestigious Pavilion Room at the  RACV Club in Melbourne on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September 2014. \nThe full Conference Program is available here. \nThe Conference ticket pricing is as follows: \n\nMHHV Member An individual or organisation member of MHHV Inc.                 $150.00 \nGeneral Admission Not a member of MHHV Inc. or a concession card holder   $190.00 \nConcession Card Holder Must produce concession card on registration            $110.00 \nThe ticket price includes morning tea\, buffet lunch\, afternoon tea and complimentary Wi-Fi on both days of the Conference.

AE2 rallied and led the charge to be the first submarine in history to penetrate the Dardanelles military defences in Turkey on 25 April 1915. Join maritime archaeologist and Executive Director of Heritage Victoria\, Tim Smith\, as he presents an illustrated talk on the fate of these submarines and their legacy.\nPresenter: Tim Smith \nDate: Tuesday 16 September\, 5.30pm arrival for 6.00pm start \nCost: FREE\, gold coin donation welcome

SUMMARY:Amphibious Operations Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is developing an amphibious task force based on two new 27\,000 tonne amphibious assault ships with a view to the main permanent component\, the Amphibious Task Group\, being certified operational by 2017\, and with a smaller Amphibious Ready Element due to be certified operational in 2015. This will be a major leap in Australia’s amphibious capability and potentially will become a key enabler of Australia’s maritime strategy\, but there is confusion in political and wider community circles as to what amphibious operations involve in the 21st century and what new options this capability might enable the ADF to offer the Australian government. An international panel of five experts will explain in lay terms what amphibious operations are and what this new capability can be expected to deliver in the short and medium terms. It will include contemporary case studies which illustrate the utility of modern amphibious forces and the types of missions and tasks that they undertake.\nThe panel will include: \nRear Admiral Mark Campbell\, CSC\, RAN \nBrigadier David Leece\, PSM\, RFD\, ED (Ret’d) \nColonel Jim Hutton\, OBE\, Royal Marines \nColonel John Mayer\, United States Marine Corps \nCaptain Jay Bannister\, RAN \nTuesday 27 May 2014 \nWesley Conference Centre 220 Pitt Street\, Sydney \nRegistration is Essential \nOnline: CLICK HERE to book and pay. \nPostal Registration: DOWNLOAD print\, fill-out and and post to the address thereon with your payment. \nTelephone Enquiries: (02) 9393 2325; Email Enquiries:  . \nAttendance Fees: members $30.00; non-members $45. \nhttp://www.rusinsw.org.au/site/Amphibious_Ops_Seminar.asp
