From Lemnos to Salonika – Kew Rotary Club Presentation and Lunch - 2nd May 2019


Come along, enjoy a lunch and hear my presentation on Lemnos' link to the Gallipoli campaign and Australia's Anzac tradition, including as the location for the negotiation and signing of the armistice which ended the First World War in the east.
I will also make reference to the Australian soldiers and nurses who went on to serve on the Salonika Front from 1915 until the end of the war (a role recognised on Kew’s War Memorial), including Ballarat’s Sister Grace Munro.
This connection would continue into WW2 with the arrival of thousands of Australian soldiers – as well as nurses – to take part in the defence of Greece.
Finally he will outline current work in promoting the development of Greece’s new Anzac Commemorative Trail.
