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:Frederick Whirlpool V.C.
DESCRIPTION:Eminent military historian Lieutenant-Colonel Rowan Tracey LLB BA (retd) will speak on the life of Irish-born Frederick Whirlpool\, including his actions in the face of enemy fire at the Battle of Jhansi (1858) during the Indian Mutiny that led belatedly to his Victoria Cross for extreme gallantry and saving the lives of colleagues.  \n \nWhirlpool was invalided out of the British East India Company Army with serious wounds\, and what would today be called post-traumatic stress disorder. \nWhirlpool migrated to Australia after the India campaign in 1859 and tried to keep his experiences secret\, before being identified and awarded his medal. On 20 June 1861 the Victorian Governor’s wife Lady Anne Maria Barkly presented the Victoria Cross to Australian resident Frederick at Albert Park in the colony of Victoria. This was the first Victoria Cross presented in Australia. Frederick died in Windsor\, New South Wales\, on 24 June 1899. Lieutenant-Colonel Rowan Tracey will also dicuss the role ex-British soldiers played in the settlement of colonial Australia. \nLECTURE TIME AND VENUE: 10:30AM Saturday 4 November 2023 at The Auditorium\, Anzac Memorial Hyde Park\, Hyde Park South\, corner Elizabeth and Liverpool Streets\, Sydney CBD. Admission is free of charge but a donation would be appreciated. For information call 0419 698 783 or email: president@militaryhistorynsw.com.au

SUMMARY:Defenders of the Queen: Imperial and Colonial Defence 1850 - 1901 - One Day Conference
DESCRIPTION:Registrations open NOW! \n \n \nThe period of the British colonies in Australia and especially during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901)\, saw British Army regiment garrisons until 1870 and a Royal Navy station which remained through to 1911. In the meantime\, coastal fortifications were built at key points on the Australian coastline to defend the colonies from foes\, real and imaginary. The colonial militias gradually grew larger and evolved along with the technology driving changes to weapons and equipment. Local military leaders emerged who came to fore especially after the departure of the British Army. Maritime frontier wars and Victorian Era wars developed in New Zealand\, Sudan\, China and South Africa in which Australian volunteers\, militia and infant naval forces were involved. Many of those who served in South Africa would go on to serve in World War 1. \nIn this conference\, historians and experts on the era will present on both the strategic and the tactical. It will explain how and why the Imperial strategies evolved and in turn affected colonial thinking in the day\, both land and maritime. The internal security battle at Eureka and the development of Governor La Trobe’s ‘army’ after the colony of Victoria was declared in 1851 will be examined along with the involvement of Australian volunteers and armed settlers in the New Zealand wars. A paper on the engineer who planned some of the most iconic coastal forts will be examined – and supported by a National Archives of Australia facsimile display of some of those original plans. Details of a colonial training exercise in Victoria in the late 1880s will show how local leaders and military technology had developed by the late 1880s\, as well as a discussion around some of the first mounted troops deployed to South Africa in 1899. \nDownload the Conference program here.\nView Presentation Abstracts and Presenter Biographies here.\n \n\nA special NAA exhibition – \n“The Russians are coming! Colonial Victoria’s coastal defences” \nwill be on display during the conference and is included in your booking.

SUMMARY:Life So Full of Promise with Ross McMullin
DESCRIPTION:An event with Ross McMullin is always much anticipated. Ross is an award-winning historian and biographer\, a renowned storyteller\, an entertaining speaker\, and a longstanding RHSV member. \n \nHis multi-biography Farewell\, Dear People was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History\, and in his new sequel Life So Full of Promise\, Ross has again combined prodigious research and narrative flair in a collection of interwoven family stories about forgotten Australians who had radiant potential. \nThe rich cast of characters in Life So Full of Promise includes a popular doctor\, a brilliant cricketer (Ross played first-grade District cricket in Melbourne)\, and an exceptionally talented barrister who was a potential prime minister. \nWith their families and friends also conspicuous in the narratives\, Life So Full of Promise is a revealing window into this defining era for Australia. It illuminates what the war was like at home and at the sharp end. Life So Full of Promise emulates Farewell\, Dear People in providing insights into the experiences of Australians before\, during and after the war\, whether they were combatants or civilians\, or soldiers’ wives or parents. \nLife So Full of Promise has been shortlisted for the Mark & Evette Moran Nib Literary Award. Barry Jones reviewed the book in The Age: “His scholarship is impeccable\, he writes like an angel … and his narrative gift is Blaineyesque”. \nRoss’s books\, including Life so Full of Promise\, are available through the RHSV bookshop. \n  \nHousekeeping \nThis event will be hybrid – both delivered in person at the RHSV’s Drill Hall home and via Zoom. For those booking Zoom tickets\, the log-in details will be sent to you 24 hours prior to the event. \nFrom 5:30pm to 6pm\, as with most RHSV events\, we’ll be serving refreshments before the lecture starts at 6pm.
