SUMMARY:Lunchbox / Soapbox: James Brown on Anzac's Long Shadow
DESCRIPTION:2014 marks the centenary of the outbreak of World War One. To mark the anniversary of Australia‚Äôs involvement in the conflict that engulfed Europe\, James Brown\, Military Fellow at the Lowy Institute for International Policy examines the long-reaching effects of Australia‚Äôs military engagement.\nAs a former Australian Army officer who served in Iraq and Afghanistan\, Brown argues that commemoration of the conflict has lost its way. The gap between civilian and military life has never been wider\, and this presents its own set of problems. As soldiers return from present-day conflicts\, resources for their rehabilitation into civilian life are thinner than ever before. The public preponderance for romanticising a hundred year-old conflict\, rather than focusing on the needs of the men and women in today‚Äôs armed forces has caused a schism that is preventing genuine understanding and reintegration. \nLunchbox/Soapbox \nWe love exploring ideas at the Wheeler Centre\, and encouraging others to do the same. That‚Äôs why every Thursday lunchtime we hand the microphone over to the great thinkers\, dreamers and orators of our time. \nWith a dazzling range of passionate speakers and unusual topics\, our soapbox provides a platform for the eclectic\, topical and enlightening stories you won‚Äôt hear elsewhere. This is the most memorable lunch break you‚Äôll have all week. \nIf you‚Äôre in need of sustenance of body as well as mind\, the MOAT lunch cart will be serving delicious $15 lunchboxes in the performance space from 12.20pm.

SUMMARY:Broken Nation
DESCRIPTION:The Great War is\, for many Australians\, the event that defined our nation. The larrikin diggers\, trench warfare\, and the landing at Gallipoli have become the stuff of the Anzac ‘legend’. But it was also a war fought by the families at home. Their resilience in the face of hardship\, their stoic acceptance of enormous casualty lists and their belief that their cause was just\, made the war effort possible.\nCombining deep scholarship with powerful storytelling\, Joan Beaumont brings the war years to life: from the well-known battles at Gallipoli\, Pozieres\, Fromelles and Villers-Bretonneux\, to the lesser known battles in Europe and the Middle East; from the ferocious debates over conscription to the disillusioning Paris peace conference and the devastating ‘Spanish’ flu the soldiers brought home. Joan brings to life the fear and courage of tens of thousands of soldiers and conveys the impact on Australians at home and at the front of death on an unprecedented scale. \nA century after the Great War\, Joan‚Äôs talk\, Broken Nation\, will bring lucid insight into the dramatic events\, mass grief and political turmoil that makes the memory of this terrible war central to Australia’s history. \nPresenter: Professor Joan Beaumont \nDate: Wednesday 30 April\, 12.30pm start \nCost: FREE\, gold coin donation welcome

SUMMARY:Australian Heroines of World War One
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this compelling lecture recounting the lives of eight remarkable nurses whose resilience\, courage and skill took them from Australia to Gallipoli\, Lemnos and the Western Front.\nThese women\, represented in Susanna de Vries‚Äô reprinted publication\, Australian Heroines of World War One\, had the courage and strength for which the Anzacs are renowned and the compassion and tenderness that only a woman can bring. \nSister Hilda Samsing from Melbourne became a whistle-blower when nursing aboard the hospital ship Gascon\, outraged by the bungled evacuation of wounded ANZACs. She defied censorship and kept a very frank diary. Brisbane‚Äôs Grace Wilson\, ordered to establish an emergency hospital on drought-stricken Lemnos Island\, arrived there to find suffering ANZACs but no drinking water\, tents or medical supplies. In France\, Florence James- Wallace\, Anne Donnell and Elsie Tranter nursed near the front line in Casualty Clearing Stations\, treating soldiers with hideous wounds or blinded by mustard gas. \nThese are just a few of the stories that will be explored by Susanna in her talk which will bring light to the remarkable work of Australian nurses in the First World War. \nPresenter: Susanna de Vries \nDate: Tuesday 15 April\, 12.30pm start \nCost: FREE\, gold coin donation welcome
