SUMMARY:Uncommon Soldiers
DESCRIPTION:Discussing his publication\, Uncommon Soldier\, Chris Masters\, one of Australia’s foremost investigative journalists\, turns his attention to the modern Australian soldier. Moving away from our ongoing fascination with Anzac story\, he looks at the rich and illuminating present to write a character study of the modern Australian soldier—war fighter\, peacekeeper\, street-level diplomat\, and aid worker.\nHaving been taken into their ranks in a way rarely before afforded an outsider\, Masters gives heart and shape to the contemporary digger: how they are selected\, how they are led\, and how they are transformed from civilians to disciplined professional soldiers. \nAnd in asking if they are unique\, he examines what it is that allows these young Australians to lend moral authority to communities teetering on the precipice of violence in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. \nPresenter: Chris Masters \nDate: Thursday 27 March\, 12.30pm start \nCost:FREE\, gold coin donation welcome

SUMMARY:The Enemy Within  Internment and Prisoner of War Camps in Victoria 1939-47 - Last Week
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the experiences of prisoners of war and civilian  internees in Victoria during the Second World War (1939-45) and discover  a little known aspect of Australia’s history. This exhibition explores the impacts on prisoners of war and internees  who lived and worked in camps. Between 1939 and 1947 rural Victoria  hosted eight internment and prisoner of war camps from the network that  was scattered across Australia. The camps operated as communities and  incorporated canteens\, hospitals\, dental and recreational facilities and  schools.\nBy 1947 almost 26\,000 prisoners of war and 15\,000 internees had  experienced the camp system\, living in tin huts behind barbed wire. They  were known as the ‘enemy’ or ‘enemy aliens’. The notion of nationality  became a divise issue of war on the home front and the experience of  internment would have a lasting impact on Australia’s migrant and wider  community.

SUMMARY:Vietnam: international perspectives on a long war
DESCRIPTION:An international conference at the Australian War MemorialThursday 15 ‚Äì Friday 16 August 2013 \nThe Vietnam War continues to cast a long shadow. At the height of the Cold War it dominated global attention for over a decade. Although the war\nended almost 40 years ago\, it confronted political leaders\, military commanders\, and soldiers in the field with dilemmas that are still relevant today. Controversy over military intervention and the conduct of the war generated deep divisions in political and cultural life and left an indelible impact on American and Australian society. The war also shaped Australian and US defence and foreign policy for a generation and left lingering after-effects in Vietnam and the neighbouring nations of South-east Asia. \nMany questions remain about the war: whether the strategic goals were relevant or attainable\, whether the tactics employed were effective or appropriate\, and whether the morality\, cost and consequences of the long war could be justified by either side. \nThis conference will gather leading historians\, authors\, former war correspondents\, and veterans from Australia and overseas to bring multinational perspectives to bear on these and other questions as they reflect on the course and conduct of the military struggle\, and the enduring memory of the conflict. This is bound to be an informative and engaging experience for all participants and should reshape many popular perceptions of our longest and most controversial war. \nTo register your interest in attending\, please email events@awm.gov.au with your full name and contact details. \nThe full program\, with speaker’s details and abstracts of presentations\, will be posted here soon. \nThe conference is being convened by the Australian War Memorial. The conference is proudly supported by Boeing Australia. The support of the Australian Government through the Department of Veterans‚Äô Affairs is gratefully acknowledged.

SUMMARY:Battleship at War
DESCRIPTION:In this American film\, Monte Markham covers the development of Battle ships and their effectiveness\, from the 15th century to the 1990’s. This is a different but balanced take on this fascinating subject. It complements the excellent ABC series ‘Battleships’ which we enjoyed a couple of years ago. This film covers initial clash between the ironclads in the American Civil war\, the Russo Japanese War of 1905\, the world tour of Roosevelt’s Great White Fleet\, the advent of HMS DREADNOUGHT\, the Battle of Jutland in 1916\, and documents the success of the U Boat and the German surface raiders.\nThe Washington Naval Agreement and the race to rearm from 1936 is analyzed\, and we view excellent footage of the new Japanese\, American and German Navies ships which were to feature so strongly on History’s page in WWII. Being an American film\, Pearl Harbour\, Battle of the Coral Sea\, Midway etc\, are well covered\, as is the advent of the IOWA Class. Their effectiveness in WWII and subsequent conflicts provide us with fascinating finale to the story of one of the most exciting weapons ever devised.

SUMMARY:Episodes of the Royal Navy-episode 5- 'Tragedy and Triumph'
DESCRIPTION:Part 5 of the series\, is entitled ‘Tragedy and Triumph’ and features the sinkings of the carrier\, HMS GLORIOUS and of the German Battleship SCHARNHORST.\nGLORIOUS detached herself from the fleet operating off Norway in June 1940 to sail independently in company with the destroyers ARDENT and ACASTA for Scapa Flow. \nThe 3 ships were caught and sunk by the SCHARNHORST and GNEISENAU and from a total complement of over 1200 only 38 officers and men survived from GLORIOUS and 1 rating from each destroyer. Some 3 and a half years later the SCHARNHORST herself was sunk off North Cape. \nThis film features some rare scenes of HMS GLORIOUS during her 1935/37 Mediterranean commission\, and her Captain\, who is to be seen on the flag deck\, was Bruce Fraser who later flew his flag in HMS DUKE OF YORK during the Battle of North Cape. Thus not only did he have the satisfaction of removing this dire threat to the Russian Convoys\, but also of avenging his old ship! We hear interviews taken on board HMS DUKE OF YORK with Admirals Fraser\, Burnett\, and some officers and men after the battle .If you listen carefully to this segment you can hear the sound of the sea gulls from Scarpa Flow\, above the hum of the battleship’s extractor fans on that Day of December 31st 1943. \nIn the course of this film we will see glimpses of His Majesty’s Ships\, ARK ROYAL\, DUKE OF YORK\, HOTSPUR\, IMOGEN\, NORFOLK\, SHEFFIELD\, JAMACIA\, BELFAST\, COURAGEOUS\, ARGUS\, VALIANT\, WARSPITE\, RESOLUTION\, HOOD\, REPULSE\, RENOWN AURORA\, GALATEA\, YORK ENTERPRISE\, VINDICTIVE\, destroyers and various ship’s crews. All are welcome to join us at the Melbourne Naval Centre\, 146 W Toorak Road South Yarra. Our ‘Naval Video Time Capsules’ are provided to us by our colleague and friend\, David McFall of the Maritime Model Museum\, of Monavale. \nEmail: maritimemodelmuseum@bigpond.com.

SUMMARY:Episodes of the Royal Navy\, part 4\, “Colour Camera at sea WW2''
DESCRIPTION:Part 4 is entitled ‘Colour Camera at sea WW2’.\nThis one hour program features rare coloured footage \,all taken between 1939/1942. \nSome of the highlights include:: the 1st battle Squadron with the 3rd Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean\, and also the 3rd flotilla experiencing very heavy conditions in northern waters; the Narvik operation including HMS COSSACK¬† intercepting the ALTMARK; being on board HMS KENT and the ill fated Submarine HMS GRAMPUS¬† in the far east. \nA massive troop convoy is filmed from HMS NELSON and includes¬† rare view of many ocean liners of note! You will see fighting convoys¬† through to Malta\, which include¬† ‘Operation Pedestal! Witness the sinking of HMS EAGLE!! \nIt is not often we get to see footage of WW2 in colour! Roland comments that to his knowledge at least 4 serving officers did operate cine cameras during the war and this footage is interwoven¬† from the colour collections of two of these men\, shot from 4 different war ships\, HM Ships NELSON\, KENT and the Destroyers IVANHOE and LAFOREY. Unfortunately both destroyers and also our camera man who had served in both\, did not survive the war! \nOur thanks to David McFall of the Maritime Model Museum of Monavale\, for providing the film for us.

SUMMARY:Gallipoli from Above
DESCRIPTION:It is now nearly 100 years since the landing and hundreds of books\, movies and documentaries have failed to grasp the significance of the ANZAC achievement. Instead\, the mythology has clouded the real story. Gallipoli From Above: The Untold Story will change the way Australians think about Gallipoli forever.\nThis one-hour documentary overturns many of the myths about the Gallipoli landing; that the Australians landed at dawn\, on the wrong beach\, with little knowledge of the Turkish defences and they were led by incompetent British officers. In fact nothing could be further from the truth. \nAccomplished writer and director Wain Fimeri returns with another extraordinary program. Wain’s work roams from dramatic screenwriting to factual documentary\, and quite often\, a bit of both. His consuming interest in people\, history and stories\, allows him to find the perfect balance of information and entertainment. He’s a writer and director of pioneering dramatized documentary\, work that has resulted in prestigious acclaim from all over the world. \nLight refreshments served between 5.30pm and 6pm. Talk begins promptly at 6pm. \nPresented by: Wain Fimeri\, writer and director\nAdmission: Free\, gold coin donation welcome \nA one-hour documentary which overturns many of the myths about the Gallipoli landing: that the Australians landed at dawn\, on the wrong beach\, with little knowledge of the Turkish defences and that they were led by incompetent British officers.

SUMMARY:Eddie Adams: Saigon '68'
DESCRIPTION:“Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world. People believe them; but photographs do lie\, even without manipulation.” – Eddie Adams\nIn 1968\, photojournalist Eddie Adams captured the most iconic image of the Vietnam War: a point-blank execution of a Vietcong prisoner on a Saigon street. \nThe photo epitomised the horror of war and was circulated worldwide\, galvanising global opposition to the war\, as well as condemnation of General Nguyen Ngoc Loan\, the man who pulled the trigger. \nYet the `truth’ of any photograph is not straightforward. While Adams was awarded many awards for the photograph\, the context of the shooting has never properly been examined. \nEddie Adams: Saigon ’68 explores the story surrounding the production and circulation of this image and raises pertinent questions regarding the power of photojournalism in affecting human rights agendas. \nThis screening will be followed by a panel discussion with some of Australia’s leading journalists and photojournalists. \nFull $12 Concession $10 ACMI Member $9

SUMMARY:Intelligence Squared Debates: Anzac Day Is More Puff Than Substance
DESCRIPTION:The plucky bravery of the ANZACs is one of our great national stories – it plays into our idea of who we are. But why is one of the touchstones of our identity based on a historic defeat? Some are sick of the mantras of ANZAC and mateship\, while others believe worship of soldiers is inappropriate in an era when we’re still at war in Afghanistan. Are we becoming warmongers – or recognising the sacrifice of our defence personnel?\nDr Simon Longstaff is Executive Director of St James Ethics Centre and chairs the Intelligence Squared debates in Sydney and Melbourne. \nCost $20 and $12 concession \nBookings Online
