SUMMARY:Mud and Blood - WWI play by Meg McNena directed by Alice Bishop - Special Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mud and Blood\, Meg McNena’s compelling 80-minute\, six-actor play\, is about distinguished Australian general\, Harold ‘Pompey’ Elliott\, who led the Essendon Rifles and took most of them to WWI. \n \nThe tenacity of Australian men and women is shown in battle and at home. Timing in 2018 with Anzac and Armistice centenaries adds impact. Set 1914-1921\, it shows how Pompey Elliott and a soldier’s mother deal with his vow to look after ‘his boys’ in war as if they were his own. This vow\, driving the play’s drama\, was made at a farewell to troops a century ago at Essendon Town Hall\, now the Clocktower Centre\, where Mud and Blood will be centre-stage on Fri 31 August. Women’s efforts and struggles are also pivotal . Please share in your networks and newsletter this opportunity to see a story about local heroes by a Moonee Ponds writer. \nA brilliant cast and skilled production team is powerfully directed by Alice Bishop\, who has been nominated for a Green Room Award for best director. Writer and producer\, Meg McNena\, has an Amnesty International Award and others for writing; this is her sixth play staged. Darren Mort\, a lawyer like Pompey\,plays his complex character masterfully. Humour and songs intone the era. \nMud and Blood‚Äôs Melbourne premiere is at the Clocktower Centre\, Moonee Ponds at 12 noon on Friday 31 August with a Q&A and talk by Ross McMullin\, awarded historian\, biographer and author of two books on Pompey Elliott (included in the matinee price) and opening night is 8pm 31 August. \nElliott trained youth in the Essendon Rifles militia; three units of his 7th Battalion came from the Northern suburbs and one from the Western suburbs; they trained at Broadmeadows and went with him to Gallipoli\, Lone Pine\, Fromelles and trenches of The Somme\, where Elliott turned the outcome of WWI in the Allies favour. Pompey inspires as husband\, father\, brother\, friend\, leader\, veteran and senator – the soldier before and after war; the stalwart wife keeps the family going; the cost for Pompey in making this heartfelt but impossible promise and returning to unveil honour boards and memorials. \nWe want to share this significant history of world-changing times for the newly declared nation of Australia and to increase awareness of post-traumatic stress disorder. \nHere is the vox pop from our successful preview in Charlton\, where Pompey was born. \nClick here for more information

SUMMARY:Discovering ANZACs in Victoria
DESCRIPTION:What was life like for Victorian WW1 soldiers when they returned from the war?\nThis talk analyses public records such as mental health\, medical and land settlement files linked to WW1 returned soldiers. Through the records we can uncover the scale of injuries returned soldiers suffered\, as well as the economic impact and farming life the soldiers faced when settled throughout regional Victoria. They provide an insight into how Australian society and the lives of these soldiers and their families were changed forever. \nThe National Archives of Australia and Public Record Office Victoria hold many records relating to defence force personnel who served in World War 1. \nThis talk analyses public records such as mental health\, medical and land settlement files linked to WW1 returned soldiers. The presentation will focus on National Archives’ Albany Repatriation and Public Record Office Victoria’s Battle to Farms soldier settlement records. \nThese two major digitisation projects have uncovered the scale of injuries returned soldiers suffered\, as well as the economic impact and farming life the soldier’s faced when settled throughout regional Victoria. They provide an insight into how Australian society and the lives of these soldiers and their families were changed forever. \nSpeakers: \nJP Grenade is the Project Support Officer for Project Albany. JP manages volunteers who are working on repatriation records which illustrate the impact of WWI on families and communities as well as individual servicemen and women. \nDaniel Wilksch is Coordinator\, Digital Projects at Public Record Office Victoria and has been involved in many projects putting archival information online\, including the Battle to Farm soldier settlement digitisation project.
