SUMMARY:‘Secret & Special – Z Special Unit in WWII’  Speaker: Will Davies
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Webinar: Wednesday 31 March 2021 @ 7:00pm to 8:00pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time) \n \n  \n \n\nSecret and Special covers the untold story of Z Special Unit and Operations\, the precursor to the elite SAS\, and the extraordinary feats they undertook in the Pacific during the Second World War. \nThe Z Special Unit was established as a secret military reconnaissance unit after the declaration of war on Japan. The unit was tasked with the role to “obtain and report information of the enemy … weaken the enemy by sabotage and destruction of morale and to lend aid and assistance to local efforts to the same end in enemy occupied territories.” In 1943 they arrived in Melbourne adding Australians to their troops\, training in a number of places around the country. \nDuring the course of the war\, Z Special Unit carried out 81 covert operations in the Southwest Pacific. While the unit was disbanded after the end of the war\, many of its techniques would be modified and used by Australian Special Forces to this day. \nWith access to not-previously-shared interviews with each of the soldiers who returned from these Z Special missions\, Davies sheds a bright light on what is an incredibly under-told part of Australian activity during the Second World War. \n \n\n  \n \nAbout the presenter \nWill Davies spent 37 years working as an independent producer of mainly historical documentaries and series for the ABC and SBS. He retired in 2010. \nHe began writing books with the first published in 2012 and to date has had ten books published. Somme Mud: The war experiences of an Australian infantryman in France 1916-1919\, which he edited\, has become a bestseller in Australia\, the UK and The Netherlands. \nIn The Footsteps of Private Lynch has also been published to acclaim in Australia and the UK. \nBeneath Hill 60 tells the true story of the Australian miners and soldiers who tunnelled under Hill 60 near Ypres and eventually broke through to create a new frontline. \nHe was a member of the NSW Anzac Council\, leads battlefield tours to the Western Front and has served on a number of boards. \nIn 2018 he was awarded a Ph.D from the ANU and among other projects\, is working to build a war memorial school in the French village of Pozieres. \n \n\n  \nSecret and Special\nAvailable 2 March 2021

SUMMARY:Women Work for Victory in World War II - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Women Work for Victory in World War II tells the story of women on the home front during the Second World War. \n \nIt is an online exhibition for now\, while the Old Treasury Building is closed for the COVID 19 pandemic. But the exhibition is in place in the galleries and will be available just as soon as we can open once again. \nWomen Work for Victory is an important reminder of the contribution played by women across Australian society in the cause of an Allied victory. Many thousands of women joined the workforce during world War II\, many working in jobs previously reserved for men. From the fields to the factories\, the armed services to the home\, women produced the food\, clothing and munitions that supplied both the Allied troops in the Pacific region and the civilian population. \nMany of these jobs were difficult and dangerous\, but thousands of women responded to the call. It is important to remember their stories. \nWhile the critical work of women on the home front during World War II went a long way towards shifting attitudes towards women in the workforce\, the exhibition also lays clear the limitations to such changes. \nWomen Work for Victory reveals that most women at this time were paid far less than men\, even where the work they performed was identical. Equal pay was a live issue at the time\, but very few women ever achieved it. As the men returned from the war\, women had to relinquish many of these jobs. It was ‘thanks girls and goodbye!’
