SUMMARY:Tours De Force - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Since the Vietnam War\, Australian entertainers have performed for troops on the front line in war and peacekeeping operations.  \n \nTheir talent and celebrity have lifted spirits and brought a slice of home to service personnel abroad. \nForces Entertainment is the special military unit that fosters relationships between the Australian Defence Force and the entertainment industry. It recruits\, promotes\, and prepares entertainers for a taste of military life and ensures their safety in foreign war zones. \nIn addition to the well-documented performances in Vietnam\, Australian entertainers have been placed in East Timor\, Afghanistan\, Iraq\, the Solomon Islands\, Sinai and in HMAS vessels at sea\, often enduring gruelling tour schedules and the possibility of danger. They must adapt to military discipline and situations far removed from the civilian green room and stage. \nIn this special exhibition\, stories\, memorabilia and rare photos and videos tell the stories of entertainers on the front line spanning Lorrae Desmond\, Normie Rowe and Lucky Starr to Kylie Minogue\, John Farnham and Lehmo. It also explores the mission\, operations and experiences of the people who have facilitated these successful tours. \nTheir contribution reminds us of the profound impact on and support for mental health and wellbeing that entertainment can provide our armed forces and all Australians.

SUMMARY:For Kin and Country - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This special exhibition explores the extraordinary history of First Peoples’ service in the Australian Defence Force. \n \nIn the early 20th century\, defence service provided an escape for First Peoples from ongoing dispossession and discrimination and was for many their first experience of equal treatment. Most were paid the same rates as their European counterparts and there was little racism on the front line. Indeed\, First Peoples service personnel felt a strong sense of continuing ancient traditions of protecting Country\, and hoped their example of service would help improve conditions for their families and communities. \nVeterans\, however\, returned to the same discrimination they had previously known. \nIn this special exhibition\, photographic portraits sourced from veterans and their families\, the Australian War Memorial\, Koorie Heritage Trust\, and the Shrine’s own collection illustrate personal stories of First Peoples’ service from the Boer War to today\, whilst interviews\, filmed in conjunction with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image\, offer insight into the ongoing effects of war service on families and individuals. \nThese stories matter to us; we know they’ll matter to you.
