SUMMARY:Toys\, Tales & Tenacity - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:11 August 2023 to July 2024 \nFrom cherished toy soldiers and adventure comics to immersive cadet training and captivating computer games\, children have long engaged in war-like activities that ignite their imagination and spirit. \n \n  \nThrough these games\, stories\, and activities\, they navigate a world that can often seem senseless\, finding meaning and understanding within the chaos. \nThis first-of-its-kind exhibition at the Shrine of Remembrance delves into the experiences of children during war\, shedding light on their unique perspectives and the profound impact war has had on their upbringing. \nWhile war may have been an indirect experience for many Victorian children\, we also recognise those whose lives were directly affected. Some children faced separation from loved ones\, endured hardships and sacrifices\, or bore witness to the uncertainty and anxiety that war brings. Their stories are integral to understanding the lasting impact war can have on the formative years of childhood. \nJoin us for an immersive and thought-provoking journey as we explore the intertwined stories of war\, childhood\, and the enduring spirit of youth in the face of adversity. Discover the remarkable resilience\, patriotism\, and imagination of children throughout history\, and gain a deeper understanding of the profound impact war has had on Australian culture. \nThis exhibition is supported by the Victorian Government and the Victorian Veterans Council.

SUMMARY:The Chipilly Six - Speaker - Lucas Jordan
DESCRIPTION:The Chipilly Six were extraordinary men in extraordinary times.  \n \n \n  \n  \nLucas Jordan reveals a wider story of Australia’s Great War veterans as they battled a nation forgetting\, a bitter Depression\, another World War and beyond. \nOn 9 August 1918\, on high ground overlooking the Somme River\, an entire British Army Corps is held up by German machine gunners. The battle has raged for 30 hours and more than 2000 Englishmen have fallen\, for no gain. \nMeanwhile\, two Australian sergeants\, Jack Hayes and Harold Andrews\, go absent without leave and cross the Somme ahead of the British lines. Gathering weapons and four of their best mates\, Hayes and Andrews return to take on the Germans. \nThe extraordinary feats of the Chipilly Six have been overlooked and the personal stories of these diggers never before celebrated. Yet this story doesn’t end when the war does. \nLucas Jordan weaves a compelling tale of the lives of these soldiers\, chronicling their return home and years after service\, through a pandemic\, the Great Depression\, another world war and the very first Anzac Day dawn service. \nAbout the presenter\nLUCAS JORDAN grew up in Burekup in Western Australia. He holds a PhD in history from the Australian National University. Lucas spent more than a decade teaching and researching in the Kimberley\, Cape York and central Australia and co-wrote Amnesty International’s global report ‘“The land holds us”: Aboriginal peoples’ right to their traditional homelands in the Northern Territory’\, which was based on six years of collaboration and camping with the Alyawarr and Anmatyerr people of the Northern Territory. Lucas is currently a leading teacher at Western English Language School\, a secondary school for new arrivals and refugees in Melbourne\, and occasionally consults on history projects. He is the author of Stealth Raiders: A few daring men in 1918. Lucas lives in Lara\, Victoria\, with his wife and two sons.\n  \nThe book \n \n

SUMMARY:Saving Lieutenant Kennedy: The heroic story of the Australian who helped rescue JFK
DESCRIPTION:Join the Robert Menzies Institute as we host former treasurer of Australia Peter Costello for the launch of Brett Mason’s new book Saving Lieutenant Kennedy: The heroic story of the Australian who helped rescue JFK on Tuesday 31 October 2023 5:30pm – 7:00pm (formalities commence at 6:00pm). \n \nAbout The Book \nOn a moonless night in August 1943\, a US torpedo boat commanded by Lt John F Kennedy\, on patrol in Solomon Islands\, was rammed by a Japanese destroyer. Left clinging to wreckage within sight of Japanese encampments\, the eleven surviving members of Kennedy’s crew eventually struggled ashore on a small uninhabited island. Missing\, presumed dead\, behind enemy lines\, with no food or water\, and with several injured\, the future looked bleak for the shipwrecked Americans. Fortunately\, Australian ‘coast watcher’ Lt Reg Evans witnessed the immediate aftermath of the collision from his nearby jungle hideaway. Working under the searching eye of the Japanese military\, over the next five days Evans and two Solomon Islander scouts — Eroni Kumana and Biuku Gasa — located Kennedy and his crew and ensured their rescue. \nThis story of wartime bravery and survival helped create JFK’s legend and paved his way to the White House. It also shone a spotlight on Australia and America’s shared wartime experience. In Saving Lieutenant Kennedy\, Brett Mason\, author of Wizards of Oz\, sets the heroic rescue and its colourful aftermath against the background of the Pacific war and the birth of the Australia– US alliance\, which remains as vital today as when Kennedy and Evans first shook hands. \nAbout The Author\nBrett Mason is Chair of the Council of the National Library of Australia and Adjunct Professor in the School of Justice at the Queensland University of Technology. He was formerly a Senator for Queensland\, serving in the Ministry\, before being appointed Australia’s Ambassador to The Hague and Permanent Representative to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. He is the author of Wizards of Oz\, Privacy Without Principle and co-editor of Future Proofing Australia.
