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:Battle for Beersheba & The Ottoman III Corps - presented by Professor Mesut Uyar
DESCRIPTION:Although the centenary passed years ago\, public interest in the Beersheba Battle (31 October 1917) is high in Australia. \n \nNew titles appear frequently\, and library shelves are moaning under the weight of them. But most of these works are just repeating well-established discourses and focus on the Australian Light Horse at the expense of others. More British Territorial soldiers fought in the battle than Australian Light horsemen and they did most of the killing and dying. It is no wonder that the Ottomans are mostly absent from this story telling if even the British are denied their rightful place. In most modern accounts\, Ottoman troops have been described as passive defenders\, only reacting to Australian actions and nothing more. \nThis lecture is an attempt to tell and describe what happened ‘on the other side of the hill’ and answer some of the resilient questions by putting the battle into the context of the Palestine Campaign and WW1 as a whole. The Beersheba Battle was part of a series of battles fought on a secondary front of a global war. The Australians fought as a part of British Imperial Forces. In addition to Australians and New Zealanders there were soldiers from the British Isles\, India\, Egypt (labourers) and even Pacific and Caribbean islands. The Ottoman units were composed of not only Turks but also Arabs\, Kurds\, Circassians\, Albanians and other nationalities. \nBecause WW1 was a giant struggle between two alliances\, the Germans and Austro-Hungarians\, though in small numbers\, played roles. The French wanted to take part but for imperialistic reasons the British tried to minimise their contribution. This was not a battle between two nations\, Australians against Turks\, but between two large multinational empires which were\, at the same time\, members of great alliances. \nLECTURE TIME AND VENUE: 10:30AM Saturday 4 May 2024 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. \nFor information call 0419 698 783 or email: president@militaryhistorynsw.com.au

SUMMARY:From Books and Blackboards to Battlefields- Victoria’s State School Teacher-Soldiers in the Great War - Speaker: Rosalie Triolo
DESCRIPTION:All of us have memories of our schooldays\, but few Victorians have paused to contemplate the experiences of Victoria’s male State school teachers\, mainly ‘primary’ but with some from the beginnings of State ‘secondary’ and ‘technical’ education\, who served in the Great War. \n \n \nThis presentation explores experiences common to those teachers as enlistees\, as educated tourists\, as trainers of soldiers\, as men at the front\, as members of an Education Department community\, and as teachers and ‘students of life’ while overseas. \nIt further explores how\, compared to Australia’s enlistment overall\, Victoria’s eligible-aged State school teachers were more likely to enlist than Australia’s non-teachers\, more likely to enlist early than late-war\, more likely to become officers and non-commissioned officers\, more likely to receive military honours\, decorations and other awards and\, tragically\, slightly more likely to die. \nMany of the experiences would hold true for Victoria’s independent school teachers\, but this presentation draws on a variety of examples from State school communities Victoria-wide\, some stories being humorous and remarkable in coincidence\, others being wholly tragic\, and many from schools\, even whole towns\, that no longer exist. \nScan or click this QR code to book your ticket.\nAbout the presenter \nRosalie Triolo is an adjunct senior lecturer at Monash University who writes and presents widely in History education\, history of Australian education\, Australian history generally\, and on WWI. For 25 years\, she helped facilitate the development of specialist teachers of History for Australian and overseas schools before retiring from Monash at the end of 2021. She is a Fellow and currently the Vice-President of the Royal Historical Society of Victoria\, as well as Chair of its Historical Societies Support Committee. She has served voluntarily on the RHSV Council since 2014 and is one of two delegates to the Federation of Australian Historical Societies (2020- ). She is a past President of the History Teachers’ Association of Victoria (6 years)\, a past Board member (further 24 years) and a Life Member\, being the longest-serving contributor to the HTAV community in each of those roles. She is currently Victoria’s representative on the Council of the Australian National Museum of Education (2015- ); and was the History Teachers’ Association of Australia delegate to the Australian Historical Association (2010-20). \nRosalie has published general public as well as scholarly works and teacher/tutor professional learning and classroom resources for tertiary\, secondary and primary education audiences\, including for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs education and commemoration branches. Her MEd by research of ‘State Schooling and Civic and Citizenship Ideals in Victoria\, 1872-1910’ was the precursor to her award-winning doctoral thesis\, ‘”Our Schools and the War”: Victoria’s Education Department and the Great War\, 1914-18’ which became the book of similar title ‘Commended’ in the Victorian Community History Awards\, 2012. For the above and voluntarily contributing to Shrine of Remembrance lectures and education programs since its undercroft was developed\, she was awarded in the 2015 Anzac Centenary year the Shrine of Remembrance Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Community Understandings of Victorian Service and Sacrifice in Wars and Peace-Keeping.
