<p class="MsoNormal">Recently our Secretary – the historian Jim Claven – curated
a new pictorial and historical display telling the story of the role of the
northern Aegean Island of Imbros (modern day Gokzeada) in the Gallipoli
campaign of 1915-16.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This Imbros & Gallipoli Revealed Exhibition was launched in June 2023 by the Imvrians’ Society of
Melbourne at the Parkdale Greek Orthodox Church, with our President Mr Lee
Tarlamis OAM MP officiating representing the Minister for Veterans, the
Victorian Government and the Victorian Veterans Council.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To complement this project Jim Claven has written a new book
–<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">From Imbros Over the Sea - Imbros &
Gallipoli Revealed – A Pictorial & Historical Overview and An Exhibition
Guide</i>. </p><p class="MsoNormal">It is now available for order (details below).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A Unique Offering<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book is unique, possibly the first book dedicated to
telling the story of Imbros and Gallipoli in any detail. He covers the long
history of Imbros and its people, the coming of the Gallipoli campaign and its
major impact on the Island.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He tells the
story in both words and pictures, drawing on many archival collections in
Australia and overseas. It publishes many of these images – photographs and
artworks – for the first time. It is certainly the first time that so many of
these – along with Mr Claven’s own photographs of Imbros – have been published
together, accompanied by Jim’s historical commentary, in a single, accessible
volume.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book comprises some 132 pages telling the
Imbros-Gallipoli story in detail, includes a detailed timeline listing key
events concerning Imbros connection to Gallipoli, references for further
reading and is illustrated with 80 photographs and 3 original maps from the
Exhibition. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“This is a story that
needed to be told. As we delve into the archives of the Gallipoli campaign, the
story of Imbros – like that of Lemnos and Tenedos – emerges from the records.
My small contribution to the re-telling of this story will hopefully stimulate
a new conversation and other researchers on their own journey of discovery to
tell Imbros’ Gallipoli story in all its aspects</i>”, Mr Claven said.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book takes its title from a famous war poem <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stand with me, Achilles</i>, written by
Patrick Shaw-Stewart, an officer with the British Royal Naval Division, as he
rested on Imbros during the campaign.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Imbros from myth to
Gallipoli<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book outlines Imbros place in Greek myth and history and
then proceeds to explain the various aspects of why and how Imbros came to be
involved in the campaign – from the arrival of the first Allied ships off
Imbros to the evacuation of the Peninsula and the end of the campaign.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgARFpQ1AMRXB_rOmB8_6E3ZW8nPXzx3LOKlf30SUJkYxfc4kcXT3mcqI6ElMPEil47iaD-mXmnrnLWz37HkpYl93Zlz4FH0_7S3UzHuDFI3ZxmOj4WbODY1oeK6dTXiIAfkoEdGwGW0VuHC7oGd_Iep7BXyqxEzY-j-lNWfgsvdbUGnZcrFkg-iiZYalo/s640/C04628.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="640" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgARFpQ1AMRXB_rOmB8_6E3ZW8nPXzx3LOKlf30SUJkYxfc4kcXT3mcqI6ElMPEil47iaD-mXmnrnLWz37HkpYl93Zlz4FH0_7S3UzHuDFI3ZxmOj4WbODY1oeK6dTXiIAfkoEdGwGW0VuHC7oGd_Iep7BXyqxEzY-j-lNWfgsvdbUGnZcrFkg-iiZYalo/s320/C04628.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Boats in Kephalos Bay, Imbros 1915-16.

write poetry or make artworks. On the 13<sup>th</sup> July, while staying on
Imbros, Patrick Shaw-Stewart would one of the most famous poems of the war, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Achilles in the Trench</i>, the poem ending
with the soldier returning to Gallipoli “From Imbros over the sea”. Charles
Bean and his Australian correspondent’s team would assemble the famous and
best-selling <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Anzac Book</i> while staying
at “Villa Pericles” at Kephalos. Others drew and painted scenes of the island,
including the New Zealand soldier-artist Horace Moore-Jones who depicted the
various Allied camps and aircraft within the natural environment of Imbros – as
well as watercolours of villages and churches. Both Australian Sapper Alec
Holland of the Royal Australian Naval Bridging Train and Charles Bean would
produce artworks depicting Imbros from the sea during their Gallipoli service.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnU59zFQG_kfLTkdyQq4dQmuKjIN8Qz1rNqxhS_Wy8wrDqsMyZoHcrJ2C6cYwkcdExI89g67hVhcZ6fq_EISrKAmkEp2K-fPOj5BAfCbg0WfG8dQu6DI5lOlC0iFCN6sqRzA-uSl1bPoJhy_s3Vure2KCb00u1thqTI2DFk1zuZKjm6I1k4muxu6DqvdQ/s2460/016%20Papas%20of%20Panagia%20re-scan.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1672" data-original-width="2460" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnU59zFQG_kfLTkdyQq4dQmuKjIN8Qz1rNqxhS_Wy8wrDqsMyZoHcrJ2C6cYwkcdExI89g67hVhcZ6fq_EISrKAmkEp2K-fPOj5BAfCbg0WfG8dQu6DI5lOlC0iFCN6sqRzA-uSl1bPoJhy_s3Vure2KCb00u1thqTI2DFk1zuZKjm6I1k4muxu6DqvdQ/s320/016%20Papas%20of%20Panagia%20re-scan.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: start;">Priest from Panagia on Imbros visiting the Allied base at Kephalos, 1915-16.

Demosthenes to the inhabitants.” Imbros, June-July 1915, Patrick Shaw-Stewart,
Royal Naval Division<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The book also tells the story of the how the campaign
impacted on the local population, as they interacted with their new
soldier-visitors, in the harbour and on its shores or as they<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>traversed the Island’s hinterland, visiting
its villages and towns, experiencing its environment and history. Imbros and
Gallipoli is also the story of the meeting of two peoples – the overwhelmingly
Hellenic population of the Island and the soldiers, sailors and airmen of many
lands – from Australia, New Zealand and Britain – during often brief periods of
respite from the terrible fighting on the Peninsula. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some would be invited to take part in local village
celebrations, in an intimate encounter with Imbros’ population. They would
write of hearing the songs, seeing the dances and enjoying the food and
beverages – and hospitality of the island. They would rest atop Castro, gazing
across at Samothrace, musing on Homer and the ancient history of the land on
which they walked, before taking a refreshing swim in its waters.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Importantly this tells the story of Imbros from another
light – from the view of the young men who came there from far away, who
captured its life in their own words, photographs and artworks, leaving behind
legacy for all, including the descendents of both the Imbrians and the veterans
who served there.</p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi33ioHRsHcu0zQHGoJZcHsAY974dCU9WnJM9LVTc6AOSIqrHTOVNiipQ3pm7ZjMfcM7sk_yfJQoO-_E2V_rynIgehNGPSg0RZuTxdlETOSK2-eyvOCXf_NzwBUmxNVL6kvmXFKBnpiVqtr_5qyhvDvPrEU273ouqtUdft5YZu3cQ1B2qdXvS6QrJCPZkc/s640/P02276.010%20-%20Copy.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="369" data-original-width="640" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi33ioHRsHcu0zQHGoJZcHsAY974dCU9WnJM9LVTc6AOSIqrHTOVNiipQ3pm7ZjMfcM7sk_yfJQoO-_E2V_rynIgehNGPSg0RZuTxdlETOSK2-eyvOCXf_NzwBUmxNVL6kvmXFKBnpiVqtr_5qyhvDvPrEU273ouqtUdft5YZu3cQ1B2qdXvS6QrJCPZkc/s320/P02276.010%20-%20Copy.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption"><div style="text-align: center;">Australian soldiers playing a game with Greek children in the courtyard of a stone house on Imbros.

The Imbros & Gallipoli Revealed Exhibition is a new
pictorial and historical display telling the story of the role of the northern Aegean
Island of Imbros in the Gallipoli campaign. It reveals this story through not
only the Island’s role as a military and naval base for the campaign but how
this role impacted on the people of the Island.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<p class="MsoNormal">This story is told through the display of 21 large panels,
each explaining the different ways the campaign impacted on the Island and the
various stages of the campaign’s impact on the Island. A further explanation of

Melbourne Inc with the funding support of the Victorian Government’s Veterans
Council, the City of Council and community fundraising. The Society supported
the project due its wish to raise awareness of the role of their Island in the
Gallipoli campaign and Australia’s Anzac story.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Exhibition was curated by myself, drawing on my
extensive research into the impact of the Gallipoli campaign on the Island’s of
the northern Aegean (especially Lemnos, Imbros and Tenedos) as well as field
visits to the Island. New research identified important new archival
photographic and documentary source materials which have proved essential to
the Exhibition. I acknowledge the work and support of the Society’s project
officer George Xinos who was a fellow participant on the journey and who played
a key role in the design of the panels. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After months of research, writing, image sourcing an
selection and finally production, the result is this important pictorial and
historical exhibition. It is the first pictorial and historical exhibition to
depict and explain one of the main connections between the northern Aegean
Island of Imbros and its inhabitants and Australia, through its connection to
the Anzac story and the Gallipoli campaign.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FVsHXf8EJMNvacmIJ4LTpxuenXmmhi0wTjQSQJpxiVS_s6d8fzaexppmrAdiIMES59LVwMfSxDMGBGaAuGxWsMzYdQsnENiL_MyUELfFOzkp-7oY0fdbZoXzS-boQqWZ_FhqjMYgTRGUyB_9H02bVnx5rGJDbBqrTUglG6hYMwnbGrMn8RzvBeLgD-U/s4032/368017816_3500026460220692_8971429827765774099_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FVsHXf8EJMNvacmIJ4LTpxuenXmmhi0wTjQSQJpxiVS_s6d8fzaexppmrAdiIMES59LVwMfSxDMGBGaAuGxWsMzYdQsnENiL_MyUELfFOzkp-7oY0fdbZoXzS-boQqWZ_FhqjMYgTRGUyB_9H02bVnx5rGJDbBqrTUglG6hYMwnbGrMn8RzvBeLgD-U/s320/368017816_3500026460220692_8971429827765774099_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The launch of the Imbros & Gallipoli Exhibition at Parkdale, June 2023.

correspondents, including Ashmead-Barlett from England and the Australian Charles
Bean. It was these writers who wrote their accounts of the Gallipoli campaign
as it unfolded, keeping an eager public back home informed as best they could
given the constraints of military censorship. They would name the house in which they lived the Villa Pericles, a nod to their own classical education and the overwhelmingly Hellenic population and ancient history of the Island. It was on Imbros that the famous
Anzac Book – a best-seller during the war – the soldier contributions were initially
compiled by Bean and his team for publication. And it was from here that the

write about their experiences in poetry, in letters and diaries, recording their
impressions for posterity. Others – like British Royal Navy aerial photographs
Bill Pollard - would take photographs leaving us an amazing visual archive. They

I had seen Imbros many times from the eastern shores of Lemnos and read about some of its role in Gallipoli in the historical records. During the Centenary of Anzac in 2015 I visited Imbros, walked its landscape and villages, meeting its people, all guided by my own historical research into its link both to Gallipoli and Australia's Anzac tradition. This resulted in my article published in Australia's Neos Kosmos newspaper. You can read the results of this early visit to Imbros by clicking <a href="https://neoskosmos.com/en/2015/08/14/features/a-voyage-to-imbros/">here.</a><br /><br />Since then I have continued my research into Imbros and published historical articles on aspects of its link to Gallipoli - I held the view of Imbros from Suvla Bay painted by Australian engineer Sapper Frank Holland and treasured by his descendants in Melbourne (read about Frank Holland by clicking <a href="https://neoskosmos.com/en/2021/04/20/dialogue/opinion/a-diggers-tale-from-newport-and-brunswick-to-lemnos-the-anzac-voyage-of-alec-holland/">here</a>), I read about the visit by a former Victorian Governor and his famous suffragette wife to Imbros during the Gallipoli campaign (read about Lord and Lady Brassey and Imbros by clicking <a href="https://neoskosmos.com/en/2021/09/22/features/when-a-suffragette-sailed-into-imbros-kephalos-bay/">here</a>) and of the Hellenic sailors who assisted the Allied cause at Gallipoli on the communications vessels plying the waters of Imbros and Gallipoli (read about the sailors of the Cable Ship Levant II by clicking <a href="https://neoskosmos.com/en/2021/12/22/features/the-hellenic-sailors-of-kephalos-bay-on-service-with-the-cable-ship-levant-ii-at-gallipoli/">here</a>). </p><p>All of this intimated to me that there was another Gallipoli story - that of Imbros, its people and the role of the Island in the campaign. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs-iPPOyzRR2oaAgrO0ASnhzfxpy-8uGcfToQ9jhE51Jf5rsxZTgxNBeLgADES2x3akJ5oQkTTdYYGA3EmnEZ7_ymL6uKVT94DbwNedjKukBrHVjufW8rW4QQbv_HUHzBWslLgf9GFmxasmzjr4oTt0_CWtgTVQbLzjY56o_dtGswnAJrrdzWFpWXUE5c/s4608/P1010260%20Ugurlu%20Harbour%20Lemnos.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs-iPPOyzRR2oaAgrO0ASnhzfxpy-8uGcfToQ9jhE51Jf5rsxZTgxNBeLgADES2x3akJ5oQkTTdYYGA3EmnEZ7_ymL6uKVT94DbwNedjKukBrHVjufW8rW4QQbv_HUHzBWslLgf9GFmxasmzjr4oTt0_CWtgTVQbLzjY56o_dtGswnAJrrdzWFpWXUE5c/s320/P1010260%20Ugurlu%20Harbour%20Lemnos.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jim Claven on Imbros, with the Island of Lemnos on the horizon in the distance.

organization representing those who migrated to Australia from Imbros or their
descendants and who live in Melbourne. They remain connected to their Island
and are keen to bring its story to a wider audience. The Imbros & Gallipoli
Exhibition is an important aspect of this desire, telling both the role of Imbros
in the Gallipoli campaign and Australia’s connection to the Island through the
Anzac story.</p><p class="MsoNormal">In undertaking this project, the Imvrian Society acknowledges
the support of the Victorian Government’s Veterans Council, the City of
Kingston and other community funding, </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Imbros &
Gallipoli Revealed – Telling the Story<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">I have worked with the Imvrian Society of Melbourne to
create this Exhibition to stimulate awareness of the important role of Imbros
in both the Gallipoli campaign and Australia’s Anzac story.</p><p class="MsoNormal">We believe that the Exhibition is only the beginning. The
display only scratches the surface of the experience of the Island and its
inhabitants of the Gallipoli campaign. Hopefully new research both in Australia
and overseas will show more light on this often overlooked aspect of the
Gallipoli campaign. </p><p class="MsoNormal">Our dream it spread awareness of Imbros and its role and
Gallipoli. We can do this through displaying the Exhibition and making
presentations. Imbros’ role in Gallipoli could also be recognized in
appropriate memorials, whether on Imbros or at locations connected to the
story. A memorial trail could be created for Imbros, identifying and linking
the various locations connected to the Gallipoli campaign (either physically,
online or both). These are some of the new concepts we are working on. Watch this space.</p><p class="MsoNormal">That's why are encouraging like minded community
organization's to display the Exhibition in their own communities across
Australia (and potentially overseas). These organization's can purchase a set of
the light-weight panels which will be sent to them directly for their display. This will be offered at the cost of production and transportation. Other display costs such as easel hire
or a-fixing to walls is at the host organization's expense.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>How to Access the
Exhibition<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">Organization's seeking to partner with us by accessing and
displaying the Exhibition should contact the Imvrian Society’s project officer,

and Fundraising<o:p></o:p></b></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">All these initiatives will require funding and support. Join
us on this journey to tell a forgotten story connecting Imbros and Australia. If
you or your organization would like to support our ongoing work through making
a financial or in-kind contribution as well as hosting a fundraising event,
please contact the Imvrian Society of Melbourne’s project officer, George

It commemorates the past and speaks to our present and future.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The story of the Anzacs and Lemnos is well known but perhaps not as well as it should be. Lemnos was the final departure point for the Australian landings at Gallipoli.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Standing here today — thinking about our diggers and the 60-mile journey they were soon to embark upon, and the events that followed — it’s hard not to be moved or to become emotional. During the Gallipoli Campaign, Lemnos served as an important rest camp for approximately 5,000 to 7,000 Australian troops. </span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It was also a major hospital base. Between August and November 1915, close to 100,000 sick and wounded arrived in Lemnos to be treated or evacuated to hospitals in Egypt, Malta and England. The conditions in which our nurses and medical staff worked were extremely challenging.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Matron Grace Wilson, from a diary entry dated 9 August 1915, wrote: ‘Arrived at Turks Head Peninsula … heat appalling. ‘Found 150 patients lying on the ground – no equipment – did best we could. ‘Have tents ourselves but no beds or mattresses. Had no water to drink or wash.’</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Some 130 Australian nurses served in hospitals in Lemnos while others served on hospital ships in Mudros harbour. Their arrival was important because they were able to bring years of professional nursing experience to bear just as the hospitals on Lemnos were being overwhelmed from the August offensive. The contribution of our nurses and nursing to the allied war effort cannot be overstated, nor can Matron Wilson’s leadership. As Nurse Nita Selwyn Smith wrote: ‘At times I think we could not have carried on without her. She was not only a capable Matron, but what is more, a woman of understanding. ‘She saw and understood many things without having to be told — and she was very human too.’ </span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We see in the actions of Matron Wilson and the nurses who served here the characteristics we attribute to the Anzac legacy — endurance, courage, sacrifice and mateship.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">These characteristics are as relevant today as they were 108 years ago. They are relevant in Australia and here in Greece. They help inform who we were, who we are and who we aspire to be. The Lemnos Remembrance Trail, in its dual role as a memorial and as a means of education for younger generations and visitors to Lemnos will be a place to reflect on the service and losses that were experienced during the Gallipoli Campaign and to better comprehend the deeds of our forefathers. It will also serve as a bridge to understanding and appreciating the service of our modern veterans and men and women in uniform.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In closing, I would like to acknowledge:</span></p><ul style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0.2rem; padding-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee (in Melbourne, Australia) and the Prefecture of the Northern Aegean who instigated the project</span></li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0.2rem; padding-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Greek Government and the Ministry of National Defence</span></li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0.2rem; padding-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Australian Government and the Department of Veterans’ Affairs</span></li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0.2rem; padding-left: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ms Elizabeth Kaydos (who is here today) — who has uncovered evidence of Australian servicemen who served on the island in World War I giving their sons the middle name, Lemnos. </span></li></ul><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It is thanks to your collective passion and determination to preserve the memory of those who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign that future generations will be able to learn about their sacrifices for our nation.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Lemnos Remembrance Trail will be the very embodiment of ‘Lest we forget’.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1.5rem 0px 0px; max-width: none;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">[Ends]</span></p></div></div></div>Jim Clavenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10290281410933016782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075813291705957029.post-6613814310413043182023-04-18T04:37:00.002-07:002023-04-18T04:37:59.228-07:00Gallipoli Campaign Commemorative Program on Lemnos - 3 May 2023<p> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9D2zoVnfZS_Ww-y_nJNIGvWyFyWPatuUAybzV6vbF16iN1apyBCQqzkfu_UA6v_0tCXNjutAtAVvGHuwNJM5t1-KiFL9NaNhgD0tPT9IPLuhd52bBeqk7BwC2_Ub7glbYsM6bmvCUtfAQP-cBm395p4S5xM6FAFqV0s9QJr0glr4BglQFZ_K7VCQ/s2048/P4210001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9D2zoVnfZS_Ww-y_nJNIGvWyFyWPatuUAybzV6vbF16iN1apyBCQqzkfu_UA6v_0tCXNjutAtAVvGHuwNJM5t1-KiFL9NaNhgD0tPT9IPLuhd52bBeqk7BwC2_Ub7glbYsM6bmvCUtfAQP-cBm395p4S5xM6FAFqV0s9QJr0glr4BglQFZ_K7VCQ/s320/P4210001.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Australian Pier Memorial, north of Moudros.

Above and below are some photographs of the repaired Memorial taken today by the Secretary, Jim Claven.<div><br /></div><div>Last week our Committee was alerted to damage inflicted on the Memorial by a vandal. The nurse component of the Memorial had been sprayed painted. This is the second time since its unveiling in 2015 that the Memorial has been defaced with paint. Local resident, urban historian and former Mayor and Councillor Janet Bolitho let is know.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sadly our sculptor - Peter Corlett OAM - on being informed about the damaged, lamented that this is not uncommon on public sculptures. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Committee would like to express its thanks to all at the City of Port Phillip who acted so swiftly to repair the damage. We would particularly like to thank Justin Gayner, the Programming & Curatorial Lead at the City of Port Phillip - and of course the restoration workers who completed the repairs. Well done. Thanks to the Council's Sandra Khazam too for her on-going support. The community thanks you for your efforts.</div><div><br /></div><div>It is important that graffiti or other attention seeking acts like this are removed quickly to limit the "5 minutes of fame" of the perpetrator. They obviously have no appreciation of the work and funds that have gone in to create such a work, all by community volunteers.</div><div><br /></div><div>As a mark of appreciation for her diligence in alerting us to the damage last week, the Committee has presented Janet Bolitho with a complementary copy of our book - Lemnos & Gallipoli Revealed. It is only through local people like Janet that our Memorial can be monitored. Thank you Janet.</div><div><br /></div><div>And thank you to all our friends and supporters who contacted us to offer assistance and express disgust at the damage to one of the few Memorials in Melbourne to feature a sculpture of a woman.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial again stands proud and ready to host this years commemorative event in August. <br /><p><b>Lee Tarlamis OAM MP, President & Jim Claven, Secretary</b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was brought to the attention of the President by local resident, urban historian and former Mayor & Councillor Janet Bolitho with the City of Port Philip. She supplied us with the above photograph revealing the damage.</p><p>It appears that the damage is similar - though more extensive - to the previous graffiti vandalism which the Memorial was subject to in 2020. At that time local residents intervened to minimize the damage and alerted the Committee.</p><p>The Secretary has alerted the authorities at the City of Port Philip who will be taking remedial action as soon as possible. The Secretary advised the Council that the sculptor - Peter Corlett OAM - is willing to assist in the remedial action as he has offered in the past. Sadly Peter stated that such vandalism is not uncommon with statues and memorials.</p><p>We have also suggested that the Council might consider enhancing security at Lemnos Square to deter any further attacks on the Memorial (such as the deployment of cameras).</p><p>The vandalism is particular disgusting given that the vandal has chosen to interfere with one of the few statues honouring women in Melbourne and this has taken place close to the celebration of Greek Independence Day (25 March).</p><p>We look forward to the restoration of our beautiful Memorial in coming days or weeks back to the condition we all love (photo below by Jim Claven, 2018).</p><p>On behalf of the Committee we thank Janet for alerting us to this damage.</p><p><b>Jim Claven, Secretary & Lee Tarlamis, OAM MP, President</b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYBc0xN5Dn18SlY3P144VTjVQob_u7ooLks0EC4w_xmVKIa4hXS4aFv57FQkLt3Sx7GnuRoGxjQACvyaXbjG_djKtsnkPHf2qI184R6YuTEoJLbLSbD5CQhSStS0EyenSzA1mGqn0PCCNYkVAA9BnAauwDVllAidwzcyH56JyCl7H7R6kL_uikugF2/s4608/PA170030.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYBc0xN5Dn18SlY3P144VTjVQob_u7ooLks0EC4w_xmVKIa4hXS4aFv57FQkLt3Sx7GnuRoGxjQACvyaXbjG_djKtsnkPHf2qI184R6YuTEoJLbLSbD5CQhSStS0EyenSzA1mGqn0PCCNYkVAA9BnAauwDVllAidwzcyH56JyCl7H7R6kL_uikugF2/s320/PA170030.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><b><br /></b><p></p>Jim Clavenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10290281410933016782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075813291705957029.post-15088124635657150942022-12-13T17:29:00.000-08:002022-12-13T17:29:12.231-08:00Wishing all our supporters and friends a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfxZYxQB_8ARJ9Bdw7b863ya7sArqwUcur1YwT6gc3NRr3ktZPDIGpDikpNocuDg4C9no8kgBnuk1_g17KdA4qWlBv0ZtTcpwZBDo0z8Ho4nxj1Rg8OK3ScsxeFjWeQ3Z3Q5S-2JlBEtkc-WKB75VSZ4gZT-Qg-zG-EiS-2hxd-QWYi49esWoY4vuk/s1080/LGCC%202022%20Xmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="744" data-original-width="1080" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfxZYxQB_8ARJ9Bdw7b863ya7sArqwUcur1YwT6gc3NRr3ktZPDIGpDikpNocuDg4C9no8kgBnuk1_g17KdA4qWlBv0ZtTcpwZBDo0z8Ho4nxj1Rg8OK3ScsxeFjWeQ3Z3Q5S-2JlBEtkc-WKB75VSZ4gZT-Qg-zG-EiS-2hxd-QWYi49esWoY4vuk/s320/LGCC%202022%20Xmas.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">Dear all</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">This year has seen us emerge from the trails of the COVID19 pandemic.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15.4px;">We were able to again hold our Armistice of Mudros commemorative service this year at the Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne in October, as well as discussions held regarding WW2 Anzac commemorative activities in Kalamata with Greek municipal authorities on their visit to Melbourne. On 9 August we were able to hold a small service at the landing site of the Australian nurses on Lemnos' Turks Head Peninsula. This was held on the anniversary of their landing in 1915. It was the first such commemorative service held at this important location on Lemnos - hopefully the first of many. </span></span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">We look forward to a return to our full program of activities in the coming year.

The photograph is from the Fryer Library Collection in the University of Queensland. It is evocative of the meetings between Australians (and other Allied service personnel) and Greeks on Lemnos during the Gallipoli campaign, of how they came together in the villages surrounding the Allied camps. We hope you enjoy our choice of image for this years card.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">On behalf of our Committee, we wish all of our supporters and friends across the globe, a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

</p><p class="MsoNormal">This month saw a unique event held on the northern Aegean
Island of Lemnos. For the first time the landing of the Australian nurses on
Lemnos during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915-16 was commemorated at the
location where the nurses came ashore on 8<sup>th</sup> August 1915.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Australian records and first-hand accounts have revealed
that the first contingent of Australian nurses landed at what was referred to
as the North Pier, a new pier erected by the Allied forces at the time to
assist in the landing of service personnel and supplies during the campaign. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinzjqUzVVQ7jCVI7xl_In5riRXRS6czNjyie5X6kIOcbb0rB4sbqba1UFB298I2QEqrGbj4q2cL8U5lgYyY1oIHt25NY9XKlJLEKmgtEbnVsSZH7Rt6PJjI0ojq-oz4887hagduUYCxBmxwAsbtijYUxicYKmDoGk-YxpgftP7jLyS9reJRGlfpqbU/s1154/297965252_616471759849305_5065033825553186966_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="787" data-original-width="1154" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinzjqUzVVQ7jCVI7xl_In5riRXRS6czNjyie5X6kIOcbb0rB4sbqba1UFB298I2QEqrGbj4q2cL8U5lgYyY1oIHt25NY9XKlJLEKmgtEbnVsSZH7Rt6PJjI0ojq-oz4887hagduUYCxBmxwAsbtijYUxicYKmDoGk-YxpgftP7jLyS9reJRGlfpqbU/s320/297965252_616471759849305_5065033825553186966_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

pier in the middle distance of this photograph by Albert Savage. “Sunrise –
Lemnos”. Albert Savage Collection, Fryer Library, University of Queensland.</span></i></p>
</td></tr></tbody></table></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While the pier itself no longer exists, maps from the time
held in London’s Imperial War Museum reveal that this pier was located on the
edge of a small bay, near the causeway leading to the Church of Aghios
Nickolaos, on the northern shore of the Turks Head Peninsula (commonly known as
Pounda today). One photograph from the time, taken by the 3<sup>rd</sup>
Australian General Hospital’s orderly and unofficial photographer Private
Albert Savage, depicts the North Pier at sunset (see above). A number of other archival
photographs also depict the North Pier and the surrounding area.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYKu99_mienbP2TDg-Rn55FZCSSOQLlJyXys8Y8QbLlOiond63D-grJiRhWVtBqhjSZWoz8QgPbfmbHvLY1pJ413kEWSyZnxy-Do9LUZcqPFOADFeAc9AIgpr_6aNOAcpGnPzTgobe1yBYjA9kpi4Hl8a6BOxbKE2LxzwJmdDwf5lOFWjKRl3iUCoa/s4608/P8080006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYKu99_mienbP2TDg-Rn55FZCSSOQLlJyXys8Y8QbLlOiond63D-grJiRhWVtBqhjSZWoz8QgPbfmbHvLY1pJ413kEWSyZnxy-Do9LUZcqPFOADFeAc9AIgpr_6aNOAcpGnPzTgobe1yBYjA9kpi4Hl8a6BOxbKE2LxzwJmdDwf5lOFWjKRl3iUCoa/s320/P8080006.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

</td></tr></tbody></table></p>The 8<sup>th</sup> August is the date chosen by the Lemnos
Gallipoli Commemorative Committee to hold its annual commemorative service at
the Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial at Lemnos Square, Albert Park. However this
years’ service was held in connection with Anzac Day in April to coincide with
the visit of the Evzones of the Hellenic Presidential Guard.
<p class="MsoNormal">With the visit to Lemnos this August by members of the
Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee (including myself as Secretary of the
Committee) the opportunity was taken to hold an informal service at the site of
the arrival of the Australian nurses. With the support of the Lemnos
Municipality, a gathering was organised for 10am on Monday, 8<sup>th</sup>
August. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Through Lemnos’ Australian “bush telegraph” a large group of
Australian’s of Lemnian origin came together to commemorate this important
event. The Koutsaplis sisters from Tsimandria – Liza, Angeliki and Haroula –
played a large part in the organising and communicating the event. I thank them
for their help. One of the attendees was Mark Menere, a relative of a Gallipoli
veteran buried at East Mudros Military Cemetery. Those present include a number
Melbourne’s Lemnian Community, including Bill and Aggie Georgantis. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The crowd gathered on the windswept site on the Turks Head
Peninsula – exposed to the famous northern Aegean winds – as the nurses were in
1915. The service commenced with a short address by myself, explaining the historical
background and significance of the event. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjAHiBunhd2gvT_ftSOJ_KzV4K3uRBlv9qeKXYXl0F_3MbMZGJp5vy6CXymK3c6nuEAQC2Ogaoa-lSpTr6z8ZWX8E16V9jZfGveOhVJyfRqE5VYwqo1WtWkOIDpXdYGXBRcVy92tDWR__BvBxU-74jnlxPEDTzJovR97mtWqqIev8Iyp3xlkkVatbv/s1680/DSC_6552.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1120" data-original-width="1680" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjAHiBunhd2gvT_ftSOJ_KzV4K3uRBlv9qeKXYXl0F_3MbMZGJp5vy6CXymK3c6nuEAQC2Ogaoa-lSpTr6z8ZWX8E16V9jZfGveOhVJyfRqE5VYwqo1WtWkOIDpXdYGXBRcVy92tDWR__BvBxU-74jnlxPEDTzJovR97mtWqqIev8Iyp3xlkkVatbv/s320/DSC_6552.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">The assembly at the Australian nurses North Pier
commemorative service, Turks Head Peninsula, Lemnos, 8<sup>th</sup> August
2022. Photograph Pat Miner 2022</span></i></p>
</td></tr></tbody></table></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The nurses who landed were part of the 3<sup>rd</sup>
Australian General Hospital, with their compliment of staff drawn from across
Australia. They had departed Australia on the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">SS Mooltan</i> and arrived in Egypt, their intended destination being
the United Kingdom. However the mounting and unforeseen casualties at Gallipoli
and the impending new offensives being planned for August, saw these plans
altered and the nurses and their Hospital re-directed to first Egypt and then
on to Lemnos.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They sailed into Lemnos’ great Mudros Bay on 5<sup>th</sup>
August, anchoring amongst the large flotilla of military and other vessels
associated with the campaign. Meanwhile the orderlies attached to the hospital
had come ashore and began preparing the ground for the establishment of a field
hospital, clearing the rocky and exposed ground on the hillside of the Turks
Head Peninsula. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The writings of the nurses at anchor on their transport
reveal their eagerness to come ashore. Trained as professional nurses and
having volunteered for military service, the nurses were keen to get to work
treating the injured and wounded soldiers that they had enlisted to help. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Matron of the 3<sup>rd</sup> Australian General Hospital
– Brisbane’s 35 year old Grace Wilson - wrote in her personal diary of the
whole Bay being “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">beautifully lit up – all
the boats and all the camps ashore</i>.” She noted that the Island did not look
as barren as they had expected, with patches of green here and there, with some
trees. She also noted to the villages on the shore, with the soldiers camps
stretching “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">for miles</i>”. One nurse
from Adelaide – 31 year old Staff Nurse Lucy Daw – wrote in her diary of the
amazing scene that confronted the nurses in Mudros Bay – the many ships of all
types, large and small, warships and transports, all jostling for space in the
crammed harbour. Matron Wilson thought the hospital ships looked beautiful, “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">like a beautiful emerald bracelet with a
ruby centre</i>.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally in the early evening of the 8<sup>th</sup> August
the order was given for the nurses to come ashore. The records reveal that they
did so at the North Pier, transferring from their transport to smaller vessels
which brought them to the pier. These first nurses to land, including Matron
Wilson, would be joined over subsequent days and weeks with more Australian
nurses, until they totally around 130 nurses. They would serve alongside
medical officers and the hundreds of male orderlies required to keep the
hospital functioning.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">From here the nurses proceeded across the small bay to the
west and up the rise to the location of the Hospital. It was during this
journey that the nurses were also famously photographed by Private Albert
Savage. We see them formed up into marching formation, Matron Wilson at the
front, all led by the Hospital’s Scottish piper, Warrant Officer Archibald Monk
from Island of Benbecula in the West of Scotland. Beyond the tents behind them,
we can see some of the ships in Mudros Bay. It is this iconic photograph,
capturing the Australian nurses as they arrived on Lemnos that the Lemnos
Gallipoli Commemorative Committee has gifted to a number of institutions – including
the RSL Headquarters in Melbourne and the Oakleigh-Carnegie RSL Sub Branch to
name a few – and which are on display to build awareness of the role of Lemnos
in the Gallipoli campaign.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizy-Zivdl8ShrUJtu48qHBqAXihee37IVuEsxWccmchNElInqAVW2od1pwRCn2FDRVKVt77FIlS8ENo_5GpFBqLzQdq-MQ5ZZ7OkqAWW9qmkHAl0d7uxvbLt1k8ESW8YcqHXejtECd1t3ZB3d0KnuVm66OxxMZ1vMJKUWc_cuVD8ZNpMJ5N2En7S6V/s1370/297897309_1252500542175259_1322310409934959110_n%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="966" data-original-width="1370" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizy-Zivdl8ShrUJtu48qHBqAXihee37IVuEsxWccmchNElInqAVW2od1pwRCn2FDRVKVt77FIlS8ENo_5GpFBqLzQdq-MQ5ZZ7OkqAWW9qmkHAl0d7uxvbLt1k8ESW8YcqHXejtECd1t3ZB3d0KnuVm66OxxMZ1vMJKUWc_cuVD8ZNpMJ5N2En7S6V/s320/297897309_1252500542175259_1322310409934959110_n%20(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">The Australian nurses arrive on the Turks Head Peninsula,
Lemnos 1915. Albert Savage Collection, State Library of NSW.</span></i></p>
</td></tr></tbody></table><br />We know that their evocative arrival was soon overwhelmed
with the flood of casualties from Gallipoli. Their medical equipment and
supplies having been sent elsewhere on another ship, the nurses at the hospital
struggled to treat their patients. Yet the medical conditions slowly improved,
the hospital achieving a remarkable success rate.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The commemorative service concluded with the laying of a
symbolic bouquet of flowers at the site in recognition of the Australian
nurse’s service on Lemnos, followed by an exploration of the site of the North
Pier and the surrounding area.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is no commemorative memorial or marker at this site. A
few years ago the descendants of one the Australian medical staff who served on
Lemnos presented the Lemnos authorities with a commemorative plaque dedicated
to the presence of the 3<sup>rd</sup> Australian General Hospital. This has
been installed further inland from the site where the Hospital nurses landed.
It is hoped that a commemorative marker or memorial will be erected at the
former North Pier site to assist commemorative visitors to Lemnos.</p>

behalf of the Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee and personally, I
would like to congratulate Christina Despoteris OAM for being
recognised today in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for 2022. <p></p><p><span class="tojvnm2t a6sixzi8 abs2jz4q a8s20v7p t1p8iaqh k5wvi7nf q3lfd5jv pk4s997a bipmatt0 cebpdrjk qowsmv63 owwhemhu dp1hu0rb dhp61c6y iyyx5f41">Whilst Christina has been awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for
service to the Greek community of Melbourne, anyone her knows her would
be aware that her contribution to the community goes far beyond this. </span></p><p><span class="tojvnm2t a6sixzi8 abs2jz4q a8s20v7p t1p8iaqh k5wvi7nf q3lfd5jv pk4s997a bipmatt0 cebpdrjk qowsmv63 owwhemhu dp1hu0rb dhp61c6y iyyx5f41">Christina Despoteris was born in Egypt, an only child, she came to
Melbourne with her parents at the age of seven. A migration story
linking Lemnos, Egypt and Australia - a story which will resonate with
many Greek Australian families. </span></p><p><span class="tojvnm2t a6sixzi8 abs2jz4q a8s20v7p t1p8iaqh k5wvi7nf q3lfd5jv pk4s997a bipmatt0 cebpdrjk qowsmv63 owwhemhu dp1hu0rb dhp61c6y iyyx5f41">Christina had a distinguished career in the Victorian Public Service
working with various departments including the Premier's.
Christina has worked tirelessly and passionately over many years in
promoting the Greek culture and traditions, the Greek language, Greek
music and dance and of course Greek history to the broader community and
has been and remains involved with many community organisations. </span></p><p><span class="tojvnm2t a6sixzi8 abs2jz4q a8s20v7p t1p8iaqh k5wvi7nf q3lfd5jv pk4s997a bipmatt0 cebpdrjk qowsmv63 owwhemhu dp1hu0rb dhp61c6y iyyx5f41">As Vice President of the Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee,
Christina has been an integral part of its success in creating awareness
of the role of Lemnos in the Gallipoli campaign as well as the broader
Hellenic links to Anzac and our many initiatives. </span></p><p><span class="tojvnm2t a6sixzi8 abs2jz4q a8s20v7p t1p8iaqh k5wvi7nf q3lfd5jv pk4s997a bipmatt0 cebpdrjk qowsmv63 owwhemhu dp1hu0rb dhp61c6y iyyx5f41">In this role, and the many other roles she has and continues to perform,

Endorsements of the book: <br /><br /><i>"An authoritative and well-researched history of this important but little appreciated aspect of Australia's Anzac story, vividly brought to life in the photographs and words of the Anzacs themselves. Highly recommended...”</i> Dr Peter Ewer, author Forgotten Anzacs (2016)<br /><br /><i>“… Reveals the story of Lemnos and the Anzacs in all its aspects, from the ships assembled in Mudros Bay, through the field hospitals and rest camps established on the island, to the meeting of these young Australians with their local hosts. … a beautiful photographic history.” </i>Colonel Jan McCarthy (Ret), ARRC, President of the RSL (Victoria Branch), Nurses Sub-Branch. <br /><br />The book is published by Melbourne’s Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee, complementing their Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial at Lemnos Square, Albert Park. The production of the book was supported by the Victorian Government's Veterans Council Grants program, along with organisations and individuals.<br /><br />The book is available to purchase in selective outlets. </p><p>For more information on the book click <a href="https://lemnosgallipolicc.blogspot.com/2019/08/lemnos-gallipoli-revealed-pictorial.html">here.</a><br /><br />To purchase a copy direct from the Committee, contact Committee President, Lee Tarlamis OAM MP - lee.tarlamis@hotmail.com<br /></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""Calibri", "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""Calibri", "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Y6agC5bPHhzEV3CxBR730coKDEOftytmyB6LKjKnhCBIeEURhC4rHVhZ6F91HwzB0TeQQ6h2qFW1mHs-UrhzkScclNdJvj6bp1svNeRwaGhXiJE8JlmEr_JC2squcS5fSS-KThQ3veCSo-wCfYNro7luX7ECAl9V76mW_-9WKR9mJlYhQBP_Rz9B/s1120/a093264h%20-%20Copy%20-%20Copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="707" data-original-width="1120" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Y6agC5bPHhzEV3CxBR730coKDEOftytmyB6LKjKnhCBIeEURhC4rHVhZ6F91HwzB0TeQQ6h2qFW1mHs-UrhzkScclNdJvj6bp1svNeRwaGhXiJE8JlmEr_JC2squcS5fSS-KThQ3veCSo-wCfYNro7luX7ECAl9V76mW_-9WKR9mJlYhQBP_Rz9B/s320/a093264h%20-%20Copy%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span face=""Calibri", "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><br /> </span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Jim Claven’s Grecian Adventure: Anzac Trail Stories and Photographs – Greece
1941 takes the reader on a journey across Greece in April and May 1941,
following the Anzac trail throughout the Greek campaign, from the northern Greek
battlefields of Vevi and Servia, through Brallos and Corinth, to Kalamata and
the Mani, and on to Crete. <br /><br />The reader is guided by the individual
stories and photographs of some of the Australian soldiers who served in that
desperate and fateful campaign. The soldiers featured include Private Syd Grant
and Sergeant Alfred Huggins, both from Western Victoria. <br /><br />The book
comprises 335 pages, including 13 maps, with a further 48 pages of archival
photographs of the campaign. The latter are a feature of the book, reproducing
nearly 100 original photographs of Greece during the campaign, from the
collections of Syd and Alfred, two collections which the author assisted in
their donation to Melbourne’s State Library of Victoria. <br /><br />These
amazing images are enhanced with nearly 100 photographs taken the author as he
walked Greece’s Anzac trail over many years. The book is a feast for the eyes,
telling the campaign story in personal terms, in words and pictures.
<br /><br />The book is a great addition to the literature of the campaign, a
celebration of this important part in the Hellenic link to Australia’s Anzac
tradition, following on from the author’s previous publication, Lemnos and
Gallipoli Revealed. <br /><br />Endorsements of the book:<br /><br /><i>“… My late father Syd never forgot the help of the Greek people during the
campaign. He would be so glad that his story and photographs are being
published and brought to a wider audience.”</i>
Catherine Bell, daughter of Private Syd Grant <br /><br /><i>“Honouring the courage and friendship that bonds us, vividly told through the
story of my dear father’s story and that of the many others in this book, God
bless Australia and Greece with ever deepening unity in democratic
freedom.”</i>
Philip Huggins, son of Sergeant Alfred Huggins<div><i><span style="background: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></i></div><div><i><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">“[This] book can be commended without
question to all those interested in the Anzac experience in Greece, and its
importance to the enduring relationship between Australia and Greece…. In all,
Grecian Adventure is a fine addition to the Greek campaign literature.” </span></i>Historian Dr Peter Ewer (author of Forgotten Anzacs) </div><div><br />Published by
Melbourne’s Pammessinian Brotherhood Papaflessas, the publication was supported
by the Victorian Government through its Veteran’s Grants program, as well as
many Greek-Australian community organizations (including Pammessinian
Brotherhood Papaflessas, the Central Pontian Association of Melbourne and
Victoria “Pontiaki Estia”, the Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee and the
Agios Dimitrios “Olympou” Philanthropic & Cultural League) along with many
individual contributions (including the Grant, Huggins and Byrne families).

<b><u>Dr Peter Ewer - Book Review </u></b><br /><br />In recent years,
Melbourne historian Jim Claven has brought to public attention many previously
untold aspects of the Australian military effort in Greece in both World Wars,
notably through his epic Lemnos & Gallipoli Revealed: A Pictorial History
of the Anzacs in the Aegean 1915-16, a magisterial volume which is the
definitive work on the topic. In the course of his research, Claven has made
contact with the families of many veterans, and in doing so, has uncovered
priceless diaries and photo albums. True to his calling, Claven has secured
these for future generations by helping the families place them with the State
Library of Victoria. Now safely archived, Claven has delved into these
historical treasures, and the result is Grecian Adventure: Greece 1941, Anzac
Trail Stories and Photographs.

Collection, Photograph reproduced courtesy of Michael Byrne<br /><br />The
heart of the book beats with the photographs taken by Private Syd Grant and
Sergeant Alfred Huggins, with a couple also by Private Kevin Byrne. These give
a fabulous insight into the ‘lived experience’, not of Generals and
politicians, but of ‘ordinary’ soldiers – not that there was anything ordinary
about them or their adventures. From their departure from Egypt in March 1941,
through to sight-seeing in Athens before the German invasion, mixing with
enthusiastic and hospitable locals, and on to the campaign itself, complete
with bombing raids and harrowing scenes of casualty and burial parties at
work- all are caught by the sharp eyes of the Australian soldiers-cum war
photographers. For this reason alone, Claven’s latest book can be commended
without question to all those interested in the Anzac experience in Greece,
and its importance to the enduring relationship between Australia and
Greece.<br />

Victoria, Collection, Reference H98.100/3448.<br /><br />But there is more
even than this in Grecian Adventure. Claven has surrounded the original
photographs of Grant, Huggins and Byrne with a mix of stories about the
campaign in Greece,. Among the best of these are the two chapters that
describe the extent of Australian community support for Greece following
Mussolini’s invasion in October 1940. Here we get a real sense of the
passionate support for Greece among ordinary Australians in this dark hour,
and the remarkable fundraising efforts that resulted. This was a community
mobilisation that has regrettably slipped somewhat from public mind, perhaps
overshadowed by the crisis of Australia’s war in 1942 when the country
itself was attacked by the Japanese. Claven does an excellent job in
retrieving this feature of the wartime experience for the modern reader.<br /><span style="font-size: small;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqZBqxyNqhnukHBQD6f1R9XnU1ELwURmfvAckcl1_H6ApXlcDgMoKL9zBO5gAZvECdVBe9hzadTPcbrIMe1RxZmkYnnOeoJhlFK0IlsTXTEHzBtBU_T8a3FKgjIr66jHOHwDhYQj25PEPS2bY2jlLouUQ2mcqzMGxWABAv5SeikqdPsx9wWMJxWSj/s2048/Vergina%20Veria%20Servia%20Larisa%20Tempe-Pinios%20Platamon%20Katerini%20141.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqZBqxyNqhnukHBQD6f1R9XnU1ELwURmfvAckcl1_H6ApXlcDgMoKL9zBO5gAZvECdVBe9hzadTPcbrIMe1RxZmkYnnOeoJhlFK0IlsTXTEHzBtBU_T8a3FKgjIr66jHOHwDhYQj25PEPS2bY2jlLouUQ2mcqzMGxWABAv5SeikqdPsx9wWMJxWSj/s320/Vergina%20Veria%20Servia%20Larisa%20Tempe-Pinios%20Platamon%20Katerini%20141.JPG" width="240" /></a>

Photograph Jim Claven 2013.<br /><br />Returning to Greece and Crete, Claven
provides wide-ranging accounts of individual battles, including the at Vevi
that opened the fighting for the Anzacs, and that at Platamonas and Pinieos
Gorge, where the entire Anzac fighting force narrowly escaped destruction.
These chapters benefit enormously from Claven’s own travels across the length
and breadth of Greece and Crete, a personal odyssey that brings contemporary
freshness to wartime history. <br /><br />In all, Grecian Adventure is a fine
addition to the Greek campaign literature, well-worthy of the funding support
it received from the Victorian Government’s grants program to commemorate the
75th Anniversary of the end of World War Two. Grants of this kind are not made
without community support, so a special commendation to the Pammessinian
Brotherhood Papaflessas, who sponsored the project, along with the other
community organisations and individuals who contributed to its publication.
<br /><br />A graduate of both Macquarie and RMIT universities, Dr Peter Ewer
is the author of many historical works including Forgotten Anzacs: The
Campaign in Greece, 1941, published by Scribe, which drew on his many

Greece during the campaign. <br /><br />This review was recently published

Henrietta lives in the UK and is herself the author of a book on Lemnos and its role in the Gallipoli campaign, entitled <i>Lemnos in History - Greek Island Base for Gallipoli</i>. Thank you Henrietta for taking the time to review the book. Enjoy.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>"Following on from his detailed and beautifully illustrated book about the island of Lemnos in 1915, Jim Claven has turned his attention to the Second World War and, in particular, to the Greek campaign of 1941 in which Anzac forces played an important part.</i></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB">Once again, he has reproduced a fascinating collection of contemporary photographs. This time they are mostly taken by just two Australian soldiers, Private Syd Grant and Sergeant Alfred Huggins. As well as these, the book is illustrated by coloured photographs taken by the author himself as he travelled through Greece in the steps of the retreating Allied forces. Also included are pictures of present day Greek people who have shared their stories of the past with him.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB">Each chapter is designed to be read individually or as a part of the whole book. As the troops moved south from Vevi in the north, their “fighting withdrawal” took them to evacuation beaches further south. For example, the Battle of Kalamata Waterfront is vividly portrayed. Some 50,000 British and Empire troops were successfully evacuated from Greece. Another 11,000 were captured by the Germans
and many of the Allied ships were sunk.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB">In this interesting book, stories of the campaign are told by Australians and Greeks, then and now. Accompanied by substantial references, they make an important contribution to the history of Australia and Greece in 1941. As Jim Claven concludes: “Thrown together by the violence of war, human beings also demonstrated their common humanity.”<o:p></o:p></span></p></i></span></div><div><b style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><u>Oakleigh-Carnegie RSL</u></b></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivopSiMh8J1Z_7j5o3jmMfT81NZJ9WhPCiRPHwwU5Os1M9f4wKagomPmHjbeEGJoa6G1VRPHOp4CX8e4xYQUDRxG2VyIc6oA753kRAUGij7btpYeCvlLhq-CLs6eBuxJSTw5Vsg2sVaH6DdQnx8_6wkI_cks-6i6MR_oMGchJCctd3RWwM6tsibNJm/s1024/Doug%20Pendergast%20&%20David%20Thompson%20-%20Oakleigh%20RSL%20-%206%2010%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivopSiMh8J1Z_7j5o3jmMfT81NZJ9WhPCiRPHwwU5Os1M9f4wKagomPmHjbeEGJoa6G1VRPHOp4CX8e4xYQUDRxG2VyIc6oA753kRAUGij7btpYeCvlLhq-CLs6eBuxJSTw5Vsg2sVaH6DdQnx8_6wkI_cks-6i6MR_oMGchJCctd3RWwM6tsibNJm/s320/Doug%20Pendergast%20&%20David%20Thompson%20-%20Oakleigh%20RSL%20-%206%2010%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It was great to catch up in October 2022 with two good friends at the Oakleigh-Carnegie RSL Sub-Branch - both veterans - President Douglas Pendergast and David Thompson - to present the RSL with a copy of <i>Grecian Adventure</i> for their new members library.

Vasilios Nanopoulos, to discuss the installation of our new WW2 commemorative
plaques honouring those who served in the Battle of Corinth Canal of 26 April
1941 and those Allied POW's who were imprisoned in the camp established by the
Germans in Corinth after the end of the Greek campaign on the mainland in April
1941. We discussed my research into the subject and the creation of both
plaques, funded by the Pankorinthian Association of Melbourne and Victoria. We
explained how the plaques are now at the Peloponnese regional government in
Tripolis and coordination for their installation will take place between the
Korinthos Municipality and the Peloponnese Regional Government. The
Municipality representative expressed the Mayor's support for such initiatives.
I took the opportunity to present the Mayor 's representative with a copy of my
new book - </span></em><em style="font-family: inherit;">Grecian Adventure</em><em style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-style: normal;"> -
which contains the story of both the plaques and the historical events which
they commemorate. We look forward to working together in the future to enhance
Korinthos and the wider Peloponnese' role in the Anzac Trail across Greece in
1941. On behalf of both myself and Melbourne's Pankorinthian Association I
thanked the Municipality for their time in meeting us today And of course, it
was great to spend some time in lovely Korinthos!

Peloponnese to discuss the Anzac Trail in Greece and specifically the new
commemorative plaques we have created in Melbourne (thanks to both the
Pammessinian Brotherhood Papaflessas and the Pankorinthian Association) for
installation at key historic locations connected to the Greek campaign of 1941.
I took the opportunity to present Mr Panagiotis Nikas, the Governor, with a

which includes images of all 4 plaques and historical story behind the events
commemorated. I did so on behalf of both myself and Papaflessas. The plaques have
now been collected by the Governor's
office, who will then coordinate with the local municipalities on their final
delivery and installation at the sites concerned - and future unveiling,
hopefully by April 2023. We discussed the importance of the Anzac Trail in
Greece, its possible extent from Lemnos through mainland Greece to Crete, the
importance of recognizing the Peloponnese component in that story and its
potential to boost tourism. Looking forward to working with Governor Nikas in
the future.

Earlier in the day Rhonda took me on a wonderful personal tour of Methone Castle - rich in history, stretching back to ancient times, all the way through its Venetian and bloody Ottoman periods and playing a terrifying role in WW2. The Castle site is immense, a village or town within a castle really, ending at the Bourzi, a smaller castle, really a lockout, which was the site of a terrible massacre in Ottoman times. To the immediate north of the Castle walls lie the rocks on which the WW2 Italian transport - the Sebastiano Veneiro - carrying hundreds of Allied POWs captured in North Africa, came to grief, many dying, others making their way ashore. Rhonda and Peter have been researching this aspect of Methone's past for many years, including their family connection to the tragedy and the fate of many of those who died on its rocks. Such an honour to listen to Rhonda recount the story of the ship and its fate in situ. The book presentation was on behalf of both myself and the Pammessinian Brotherhood Papaflessas in recognition of their commemorative work. Well done Peter and Rhonda.</span></span></em></p></span></span></em><p></p></span></em><p></p></div><div><b><u>Municipality of Pylos-Nestoros</u></b></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh48SQ04b9-2ebMuGDTCtrH46eYKc6BQZxU6Vp3st8KVz0AqWmuNybLeUphYe0B0NyylWZLPLgLV8sC1UezdZ8nNoKPORlplCHJXeBnX-4ovuF96iqw68NpGfNqMsMgzS2S1fBJyOabAqlVInAIp7y25l5v6bXSmPSHyDJFwOvTDQCOYpJm7zVw_oA_/s960/294331582_10217072482244810_4808926020666639874_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="960" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh48SQ04b9-2ebMuGDTCtrH46eYKc6BQZxU6Vp3st8KVz0AqWmuNybLeUphYe0B0NyylWZLPLgLV8sC1UezdZ8nNoKPORlplCHJXeBnX-4ovuF96iqw68NpGfNqMsMgzS2S1fBJyOabAqlVInAIp7y25l5v6bXSmPSHyDJFwOvTDQCOYpJm7zVw_oA_/s320/294331582_10217072482244810_4808926020666639874_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div>On 18 July 2022 visited our two commemorative memorials at Pylos and Methone - dedicated to two </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">separate</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> WW2 naval and Allied POW tragedies - and great to see them looking good.

Good to catch with my good friend, documentary filmmaker and fellow researcher,
New Zealand's John William Irwin - over a coffee with Cretan author George
Dalidakis - discussing the Hellenic link to Australia's Anzac story and all
things Crete. John has conducted a lot of original research on Crete and other
locations in Greece, capturing important first-hand testimony of WW2 as well
as surveying vital NZ archival photographs and records. He has already
produced a number of important documentaries on the subject, including in how
the war impacted on the women of Crete. Looking forward to working with John
and Dr Peter Ewer on an important new documentary project - watch this space.

<br />A big thank you to all at the Pontiaki Estia for their support for my
latest book, Grecian Adventure. Without the support of organizations like
these, my book on the Hellenic link to Australia's Anzac story in WW2 would
not have been published. Caught up with a few of the great team at the Estia
to handover copies to the club - and enjoyed a coffee and spanakopita at Nikos
in Fairfield. Its been great to work with the Estia team on a range of
projects over the years, especially the George Treloar Memorial in Ballarat.

<br />Lovely to catch up recently with my good friend Neil Churches (above),
Greek campaign veterans son, author and tour guide. Neil has been
responsible for making sure that the story of his father's amazing WW2 war
service is available for the appreciation of future generations. Ralph
Churches served in the Greek campaign of 1941. After the fall of Tolo (near
Nafplio in the Peloponnese), Ralph and a group of other Allied soldiers
attempted to evade capture by sailing along the southern coast of Greece,
only to be captured. He would experience the German POW camps at Corinth and
Thessaloniki, the latter often being referred to by its former inmates as a
Hell Camp. Ralph's desire to escape would continue ending in his successful
escape through wartime Yugoslavia, orchestrating the escape of himself and
over 100 other Allied escapers, assisted and lead by the local partisans
over a dangerous 160 mile journey over the ALPs, pursued by German troops,
eventually reaching Allied lines in Italy. Neil's re-telling of Ralph's
wartime story - assisted by historical researcher Edmund Goldrick - has
recently been published by Pan Macmillan, titled The Greatest Escape
(below). The book is thoroughly researched, drawing on Yugoslav, UK,
Australians and other important records. I recommend the book to all
interested in the Australian experiences of the Greek campaign, the prisoner
experience and those who escaped German captivity. A cracking read. Neil
also leads regular tours of his father's escape route through Slovenia.
Thank you to Neil for allowing my access to his father's account of his time
in wartime Greece. It is through the dedication of many individuals like
Neil that historians and researchers are assisted by the survival of these
personal stories and records. I hope he enjoys my own new book, Grecian
Adventure. Thank you Neil - June 2022<br /><br /> <u><b><span style="font-size: small;">Phil Evans - Greek Campaign Veterans Son</span></b></u>

friend and fellow researcher, Philip Evans. Philip was so gracious to have
shared his own family story of the Greek campaign with me many years ago and
we have been fortunate to have been able to meet up in Greece to walk the
ground where the campaign was fought. Philip 's father was Private Arthur
Evans from Western Australia, who served during the campaign with 2/2nd Army
Field Workshops, 5th Recovery Section. Arthur's Greek campaign came to an end
on the shores of Tolo on the Peloponnese, near Nafplio. He was one of the
estimated 1,300 Allied soldiers who were captured on the 28 April after the
battle fought on the outskirts of the town and its later fall to the Germans.
Arthur then experience the long night of imprisonment as a POW first in Greece
then in the camps established across German-occupied Europe. A few years back
I was able to meet up with Philip at Tolo near the beach where his father's
Greek campaign came to an end. Philip is a member of the UK-based Greek
Campaign Veterans Brotherhood. Thanks to Philip for sharing his family story

<br />Great to catch up today with my good friend and researcher
<a href="#">Aron Segal</a> at Oakleigh's Vanilla Cafe. Aron is the relative of
a number of family members connected to Australia's Anzac story. One of these
is his namesake and uncle Aron Wajcman who served with Palestine Pioneer Corps
in the Greek campaign of 1941 - alongside the many Australian and other Allied
soldiers who took part in the campaign. He was most likely captured following
the fall of Kalamata at the end of April, then being held in various transit
camps established by the Germans in Greece before being transferred to other
POW camps in Europe, in particular Stalags 18A and 8B. Great company,
discussing various historical subjects, as well as the usual book exchanges!
Hope Aron likes my new book Grecian Adventure and its recounting of the
capture of Allied soldiers and their POW experience in Greece - 23 June 2022.

As Aron said: "Great to catch up today and to get my hands on your latest book
which I will read with much interest. To fill in some of the gaps, my uncle
was transferred to Stalag 18A in Volfsberg, Austria arriving there on 1 July
1941 where he became POW 4875. Following intervention by the Red Cross, he
along with other POWs were transferred to Stalag 8B in Lamsdorf in Upper
Silesia on 1st August 1941. He was liberated by the American 7th Army on 2nd
April 1945 at Bad Orb, near Frankfurt-A-Main after having survived the 960 km
Long March from Stalag 8B. Photograph of Aron Wajcman taken on his arrival at
Volfsberg."<br />

Great to catch up with my good friend <a href="#">Deb Elizabeth Stewart</a> at
this lovely local cafe in Murrumbenna, Levi, to present her with her copies of
my new book Grecian Adventure. Deb, the grand-daughter of Australian nurse
Evelyn Hutt who served on Lemnos in 1915-16, has been actively involved with
our Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee for many years and has shared in
some of my commemorative field trips to Greece's Anzac-related sites. She was
also an early supporter of the Grecian Adventure book project. A big thank you
to Deb for her support over many years - 21 June 2022<br /><br /><b><u>Catherine Bell and Rob Grant - Private Syd Grant's family</u></b>

How wonderful it was for myself and partner Vicki Kyritsis to catch up over
the weekend with <a href="#">Catherine Bell</a>, Rob Grant and family -
descendants of Greek campaign veteran Syd Grant. If it wasn't for my meeting
up with Catherine all those years ago - thanks to my good friend Paul
Sougleris of the Pammessinian Brotherhood Papaflessas - I would never have
been introduced to Syd's story and his amazing photographic archive - and it
was with the support of the Syd Grant family that we were able to finally
publish Syd's story and photographs in my new book Grecian Adventure. We had
a long chat about Syd and the book, the new commemorative plaque we have
created and hope to install at the village of Trahila in the Mani from where
Syd escaped capture by the Germans - as well as discussing Syd's of his
travels to High Street Northcote in search of his beloved Kalamata olives -
and his love of Scotch whisky! And behind the photograph of me with
Catherine and Rob - is the iconic photograph of Syd's soldier settlement
farm he named Kalamata, in recognition of those who helped him during the
Greek campaign of 1941. A big thank you to Catherine and partner James for a
lovely afternoon, sumptuous lunch and great company! Looking forward to
catching up again soon - including at the formal book launch later in the
year - maybe enjoying some olives and single malt in Syd's honour! - 19 June

Lovely to catch up with my good friend <a href="#">George Dalidakis</a> today,
to exchange books and stories about both our inquiries into Greek and
Australian history - as well as record albums! Brought back memories of my
visit to the southern Cretan village of Sfakia during the annual Anzac
commemorations, where I came across his published history of Sfakia, a great
find and great book. Thank you George for your efforts to preserve the history
of this region, important to both Greeks and Australians. Gave me the
opportunity to discuss what I call in my book Grecian Adventure "the song of
Sfakia", the song Now is The Hour that was reportedly sung by the Allied
troops as the last barge departed the harbour in 1941, marking the end of the
Allied defence of Crete - and the beginning of the German occupation and
Cretan resistance - 16 June 2022

Great to catch up with young Arch Bregiannis (above), one of my helpers in
my research for my new book Grecian Adventure, contributing important new
information on the location of the remains of Hellenic Anzac Gunner James
Zampelis and his comrades who were killed near Mournies on Crete during the
battle following the German invasion in May 1941. A big thank you to Arch
for taking the time out of his trip to Greece a few years back to search the
ground for this important part of the Hellenic Anzac story. His photographic
research is part of one the key chapters of the book. This along with my own
and other contributors (such as Eva Gaganis Gotsis and Paul Sougleris)
research has now been passed on to the relevant Australian military
authorities. Bravo Arch, was my pleasure to present him with a copy of
Grecian Adventure at one of Huntingdale's iconic Greek cake shops, Sweet
Heart Cakes! - 14 June 2022<br /><br /><b><u>Peter Vial - Greek Campaign Veteran's Son</u></b>

Captain Robert Vial (pictured in the original painting by Australian war
artist Sir William Dargie on the wall), the decorated Australian officer who
made his escape from German capture along the Mani coast following the fall of
Kalamata at the end of April 1941. Robert was a great swimmer and saved a
number of Allied soldiers from drowning during escape attempts by sea. He was
one of the over 200 Allied soldiers to be successfully embarked off the Mani -
along with Private's Syd Grant and George Foot - and was decorated for his
efforts with the award of DSO. My new book - Grecian Adventure - would have
been much the poorer without Peter having shared his father's story with me.
Thank you Peter. Read my account of Robert Vial's Greek campaign story by

So lovely to catch up with Felicia Leonardos (above) from Evia and present
her with a copy of my new book Grecian Adventure, stories and photographs of
the Australians in Greece in 1941, which was enriched by her telling the
story of her father Stamatos Katsatos who as a young man assisted Allied

Lovely to meet up with Angelo Kalomiris (above right) and his grand-daughter
Angeliki (above left) at Oakleigh's Ambrosia Cafe to present him with a copy
of my new book Grecian Adventure, stories and photos from the 1941 Greek
campaign. My recounting of Lemnos' part in that campaign couldn't have been
told without Angelo's support, as he told me his experience on Lemnos as a
young boy during the German occupation. A big thank you to Angelo for
sharing his stories with us. And of course he is a fan of my earlier book,
Lemnos & Gallipoli Revealed! - 8 June 2022<br /><br /><b><u>David & Philip Huggins - Greek Campaign Veteran's Sons </u></b>

Great to catch up today with Phillip (left above) and David (right above)
Huggins, son's of Greek campaign veteran Sergeant Alfred Huggins, one of the
diggers featured in my new book - Grecian Adventure - whose amazing collection
of campaign photographs feature in the book, alongside those of Private Syd
Grant. It's been a long and fruitful journey bringing the book to publication.
Great to be able to present them with copies of the book. Thanks to the
Huggins family for their support - 6 June 2022

held at the weekend as an observer and to discuss and show them the final
draft of my latest book - The Grecian Adventure: Stories and photograph from
Greece's WW2 Anzac trail. Supported by the Victorian Government and the
Brotherhood this will be launched as a major contribution to our communities
commemoration of the anniversary of the Greek campaign. Photographs of myself

Georgia-Juliana Charpantidou (Panteion University in Athens). Bravo to all
involved - February 2021

first official "Anzac Day Service" at the Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial in
Lemnos Square and the Evzones - the Hellenic Presidential Guard - will
honor us with their presence.</div>
<div> </div><div>The Service will take place on:</div>
<div><b> </b></div><div><b>Thursday 21 April 2022</b></div>
<div><b>11.00 am</b></div>
<div><b>Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial</b></div>
<div><b>Lemnos Square</b></div>
<div><b>Foote Street Albert Park</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div>We are grateful and honored that our first official Anzac Day
Service will include the participation of the Evzones, the Hellenic
Presidential Guard.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This bronze Memorial, of a nurse protecting a weary soldier, was
sculpted by renowned artist Peter Corlett OAM. It recognizes the
important role of the Greek island of Lemnos in Australia's ANZAC story
and is dedicated to the Australian nurses and soldiers
who served there during the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915; to the 148
Australian soldiers who remain buried there; and to the local community
who supported them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Our 2022 Anzac Day Service at Lemnos Square will include an
address, a wreath-laying ceremony, the national anthems of Greece and
Australia, the reciting of the Ode, and of course the guarding of the
Memorial by the Evzones. Their presence further enhances
our connection between Australia and Greece and will highlight the role
that Lemnos played in the Gallipoli Campaign.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee thanks the Victorian
Government for making this visit to Melbourne by the Evzones - the
Hellenic Presidential Guard possible and the Greek National Day Council
for including this visit to our Memorial.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We would be delighted if you could join us for this important event.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Note that there will be a limited number of wreaths being laid during the service by Official Guests.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee (LGCC) marked its tenth
anniversary in 2021 with a number of activities showcasing the Lemnos
connection to ANZAC; and more broadly the 200<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the
1821 Greek Revolution, the Hellenic connection to ANZAC. What better way of
doing this, than through the eyes of our youth.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">“In 2018, during the 100<sup>th</sup> Anniversary of the Armistice of
Moudros celebrations on Lemnos, the LGCC announced the establishment of two
sister school relationships, one of which was between Albert Park College and
the Moudros Senior High School”, Christina Despoteris the Vice President of the
Committee said.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">One of the activities organized by the LGCC in collaboration with the
participating schools was an Essay, Poetry and Art Competition. The theme of
the Competition was <b>“Greece 1821 – 2021 Celebrating 200 years of
Independence”. </b>Students also focused on more specific themes including <i>Heroes
of the Revolution, Women of the Revolution, How has the Revolution affected
Life in Modern Greece, Historical Markers that shaped Greek Society 1821 –
2021, The Influence of Hellenic Civilization on the World, How Hellenic
Civilization has influenced Australia, The Greek Australian Connection. </i></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The Competition was open to all students who participated in the sister
school program in 2020 and 2021. Winners were chosen from each year level.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">“The judges were very impressed at the standard of the entries. The
essays and poems conveyed a sense of insight into the topic, articulating
thoughts and arguments succinctly and clearly. The Art works which were
submitted were of a high standard. They stood out for their creativity and
originality of the theme, as well as the artistic composition and overall
design” Ms Despoteris said. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">“Today we are announcing the winners from the Moudros Senior High
School”, Ms Despoteris continued.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The winners are:</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Nicole Dimou</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">, a Year 10 student,

island of the civilian revolution; and</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Sofia Voria</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">, a Year 10 student,
with her creative and colourful depiction of Greeks in national costume on a
ship firing cannon at the shore. Sofia's work is pictured above.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"> “As the Co-ordinator of the competition and the sister school
program, I was delighted with the response, as well as with the standard of the
entries we received. These types of activities keep alive the historical
memory, help cultivate the Greek language and further motivate and inspire
students to feel proud of their Hellenic heritage” Ms Despoteris said.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Thank you to the Principal, Mr Stylianos Karagiannis and Ms Theodora
Lymperi, the co-coordinator of the program who work tirelessly throughout the
year encouraging students, preparing presentations, and organizing special
events and Zoom sessions between the two schools.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">We all hope that the time will come when the Lemnian school visits
Melbourne and when the students from Albert Park will be able to travel to
Greece to cement the relationship that they have developed over the last few
years. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The LGCC will provide a book prize – Jim Claven’s <i>Lemnos &
Gallipoli Revealed – A Pictorial History of the Anzacs in the Aegean, 1915-16, </i>for
the two winners.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgROkfvjAMIFjx-l2Ip6Woo_OQVtSRQVSUdhcGvhGriwnh4uKn_LMh1j_D6G9NFvK-S5ds9iK0_iPmDG2eKc9HjLzbhhbS_vdp_9Olv1Oh9TNujwrJ75U4oVjEnulhAhkWaUL4qcTa0yVcFHw3pAAtQT2RaimH7e5PrVD3EeIqoCKG2VLqCVWuF7DrG/s911/thumbnail%20-%20Copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="911" data-original-width="802" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgROkfvjAMIFjx-l2Ip6Woo_OQVtSRQVSUdhcGvhGriwnh4uKn_LMh1j_D6G9NFvK-S5ds9iK0_iPmDG2eKc9HjLzbhhbS_vdp_9Olv1Oh9TNujwrJ75U4oVjEnulhAhkWaUL4qcTa0yVcFHw3pAAtQT2RaimH7e5PrVD3EeIqoCKG2VLqCVWuF7DrG/s320/thumbnail%20-%20Copy.jpg" width="282" /></a></div><br /> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"></span><p></p>

</xml><![endif]--><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Dear Members and
Supporters</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Well here we are at
the end of another year.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The last two years
have been particularly challenging for all, including commemorative organisations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Despite these
restrictions we have been able to continue to advance our program of building</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> awareness of the
Hellenic link to Anzac in general and the role of Lemnos in the Gallipoli
campaign in particular. I thank all members of the Committee for their work at
this difficult time.</span>
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Whilst we were unable
to hold our annual public commemorative service at the Lemnos Gallipoli
Memorial in Albert Park over the past two years, we were able to hold online
services for our annual Armistice of Mudros commemoration at Melbourne’s Shrine
of Remembrance. We also were able to hold a small dawn service at the Lemnos
Gallipoli Memorial on Anzac Day in 2021.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We have continued to
maintain our cooperation with the authorities on Lemnos as well as our regular
online sessions linking schools in Melbourne and on Lemnos.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We have progressed
plans to extend the Anzac Trail on Lemnos, commenced in 2018 with our
Australian Pier Memorial. Two new bronze commemorative plagues have been
created – commemorating the Royal Australian Navy at Lemnos in 1915 and Lemnian
Anzac Sapper Basil Demetri Passa from Kontopouli on Lemnos. These will soon be
transported to Lemnos in advance of their installation on the Island, hopefully
in 2022.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We have also
participated in the Australian Government scoping study for a commemorative
site on Lemnos and look forward to its implementation in coming years and
assisting where we can.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We were successful in
our proposal to Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance for the holding of an annual
commemorative service in honour of the Australian’s who served in the Salonika
Campaign 1915-18.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And we have continued
to publicize the Hellenic link to Anzac through the many media stories we have
been successful in having printed. A big thank you to Melbourne’s Neos Kosmos
in this regard.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Our recent AGM has
seen the election of our new Executive Committee. These are:</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> Lee Tarlamis OAM MP –
President; Christina Despoteris – Vice President; Jim Claven</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>– <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Secretary;

commemorates the 103<sup>rd</sup> anniversary of the Armistice of Mudros. Signed
on 30 October 1918 and coming into effect at noon on 31 October 1918, the Armistice
signalled the end of the First World War across the Eastern Mediterranean, from
Syria to northern Greece, and including the Gallipoli campaign of 1915-16 and
the Salonika campaign of 1915-1918.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Armistice
was signed by British Admiral Arthur Calthorpe, representing the Entente Powers
(as the Allies were then known) and representatives of the Ottoman Empire. The
signing took place aboard the Royal Navy warship HMS <em>Agamemnon</em>
while anchored in Mudros Bay, Lemnos, amongst the large Allied naval fleet that
assembled there for the purpose and to take part in the coming occupation of
Constantinople and the Ottoman Empire. Australian and Hellenic warships were
part of this fleet.<span> </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5WcOp2Qx9VHZu2SEM73pjnwjfjhD1EvryWF4dMbOpN446PxPhA4Wnoeglz_ZmRY-WHMU1cFkHOvQW3nfq61-F3cLZe-ITxQtlFK2vt5bwTs208UOOEPFwnmgrXCwvi4aJd8LuCq7y4js/s2048/P1011051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5WcOp2Qx9VHZu2SEM73pjnwjfjhD1EvryWF4dMbOpN446PxPhA4Wnoeglz_ZmRY-WHMU1cFkHOvQW3nfq61-F3cLZe-ITxQtlFK2vt5bwTs208UOOEPFwnmgrXCwvi4aJd8LuCq7y4js/s320/P1011051.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

readers will know, the Aegean Island of Lemnos played an important role during
the First World War. Only 50 kilometres from the Dardanelles, it operated as an
advance base during the Gallipoli campaign, with major medical facilities for
the treatment of the wounded and sick from the campaign on the Peninsula. Amongst
the over 1,300 Allied service personnel buried in Lemnos’ war cemeteries are
over 200 Australian and New Zealand war dead.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">

Committee Secretary and historian Mr Jim Claven proposed the commemoration on
behalf of the Committee as a result of his having researched the story of the
Armistice of Mudros since 2013. He has had the story of the Armistice featured
in publications from Australia to Greece and the UK, including a major feature
in <i>Remembrance</i>, the Shrine magazine,
as well as making public presentations on the Armistice at both the Shrine and
at Mudros Bay on Lemmos in 2018. </span></span></p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">

Under normal circumstances this year’s event would have been held on Saturday, 14th August 2021 at the Memorial at Lemnos Square, Albert Park, however due to the uncertainty associated with the current pandemic we have held off scheduling it. <br /><br /> Unfortunately, this is now the second year since the unveiling of the Memorial in August 2015, that we have not held our annual service. We do so with a heavy heart but in recognition of the current COVID-19 restrictions it’s the responsible thing to do. <br /><br /> Now is the time for all of us to take care of each other by wearing a mask, following all the restrictions, getting tested if we have even the mildest of symptoms and getting vaccinated. This is the only pathway through this. <br /><br /> At the earliest opportunity that restrictions allow, representatives from our Committee will attend the Lemnos Gallipoli Memorial and lay a floral tribute in honour and memory of the service of those Australian men and women who came to Lemnos during the Gallipoli campaign, as well as those local Lemnians who assisted them. The medical staff - doctors, nurses and orderlies - on Lemnos in 1915-16 cared for thousands of wounded and sick soldiers in trying circumstances, under the heat of summer and the wind and rains of winter - like medical officer Stanley Argyle, Matron Grace Wilson, Staff Nurses Evelyn Hutt and Lucy Daw, dispenser and orderly Henry Gissing and hundred's more. This care saw the vast majority of those they cared for survive the ravages of war. <br /><br />In holding our annual service, we honour the service of these medical staff. As such, this is an appropriate time to also think of all our health care workers who have been and are continuing to work so hard to keep us all safe as well as those who, while caring for those in our community, have contracted Covid-19. We all owe them a debt of respect and gratitude for doing their important work at this difficult time. <br /><br />Our Committee will be working towards the return of our annual service on 13th August 2022 which we envisage will be bigger and better than ever. <br /><br />We are hopeful that our annual Armistice of Mudros commemorative service at the Shrine of Remembrance will be able to proceed as scheduled on 31st October 2021. However, this will depend on what restrictions are in place at that time. We will advise further closer to this event. <br /><br /> In the meantime, our Committee continues to work to advance the commemoration of the Hellenic link to Australia's Anzac story. Current projects include the installation of our two new commemorative memorials on Lemnos that are part of our Lemnos Gallipoli Heritage Trail, the inauguration of our new commemorative service at the Shrine honouring those Australians who served in the Salonika campaign, the donation of George Petrou's impressive painting of Grace Wilson to one of Melbourne's major health facilities associated with Grace and our on-going Sister Schools program linking schools on Lemnos and in Australia. <br /><br /><b>Lee Tarlamis OAM MP<br />President, Lemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee</b><br />Jim Clavenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10290281410933016782noreply@blogger.com0
