By looking at the RSL as an agent of both reaction and change, the thesis hopes to contribute Lo an understanding of what it meant to be conservative in Australia during and after the first world war. The thesis argues that while many of the RSL's values, particularly the belief that political change should be gradual not sudden, conformed to those central to conservative ideology, in certain domestic matters such as repatriation and social welfare the RSL contributed significantly to change in Australian society. The thesis concentrates particularly on Australians' increased acceptance of a more interventionist state, and looks at the way in which its war experience caused the RSL to evolve attitudes toward state intervention which ran counter to those of many conservatives. av The thesis also looks at the waY in which nationalism shifted from the possession of the Left before the war to that of the Right after 1915. It argues that the first worl-d war had a profound effect on the subsequent direction of Australian society, and that the RSL had a role in this. It concludes that one of the enduring legacies of the first world war was that the vision and idealism of the prewar era were overtaken and replaced by a conservative preoccupation with natíonal stability, national safety, and national integritY.

The Returned Sailors and Soldiers' Imperial I-,eague of Australia was formed as a national- body encompassing the state branches in ,June 19]-6. This thesis call-s the national body the ' RSLr or 'Leaguer, and the state branches the 'South Australian RSL', the 'Victorían RSLt, and so on. Returned Soldiers' Associations vtere formed in New South Wa1es, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia before the RSL v¡as, and these are described in this thesis as 'RSAs' Many state RSL branches continued to use 'RSA' after the nationaL body was formed. The League became 'The Returned Sailors, Soldiers and Airmenrs Imperial League of Australia' after the outbreak of the second world war, and in October L965 officially adopted the name 'The Returned Services League of Australia'. Because of the complexity of combining a history of an organisation with a study of vr l- l- the evolution of ideas, each chapter of t.his t,hesis begins with an introduction that outlines the framework of the chapter's argument. The conclusion to each chapter summarises its main points, places it in the context of the argument being developed throughout the thesis, and points towards the next chapter. In this wâ/, it is hoped to demonstrate that the RSL was both a product of a society undergoing profound change as a result of the first world war, and a contributor to that change. Originally, the thesis intended to establish how tradition and experience shaped t.he outlook of the South Australian branch of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers' Imperial League of Australia in the 1-920s and 1930s. Three things led to expanding this. First, it became obvious that the Australian experience of the first world war was, indeed, a national experience. In general, a Queenslanderrs war experience was likely to be littte different from a South Australian's or a Victoriarl's, whether he or she was in France or Austral-ia. If the South Austral-ian experience was typical of the Australian experience, it seemed important to say so. l_x Second, the origins and structure of the RSL itself seemed both to reflect the national character of Australia's war experience and to substantiate it. Although not all state branches initially joined the RSL, and al-though there was frequently disharmony among them, t.he RSL remained a federal organisation, responding to the demands of the individual state branches while ensuring that they acted within a defined national policy. To understand the actions and attitudes of the South Australian RSI-., branch, it became necessary to understand those of its state counterparts and the federal body. Third, it became impossible to examine the RST, without grappling with what it meant to be rconservative' in Australia during the first world war and in the years after. This 1ed to a change in emphasis in the thesis. Instead of a thesis in which, to understand the RSL, it was necessary to examine what was meant by the term conservatism, it seemed more fruitful to study the RSL not as end in itself but as a means to understanding the broader question of how and why conservatism was changed by the first world war. The sources this thesis draws upon reflect this process of change. The principal x sources are those which rel-ate to the Sout.h Australian branch of the RSL. These South Australian records al-so contain a great deal- of federal material, which has been supplemented by examination of federal RSL records in Canberra. Sub-branch correspondence is poorly represented in t,he South Austral-ian records: inquiries to a number of sub-branches throughout South Austral-ia did not elicit material-. Neverthefess, sub-branch resolutions were extensively reported in South Australian publications such as Diggers' Gazette (the official journal of the South Australian RSL) and Returned Soldier (an independent journal), and there is an abundance of sub- branch material from all states in the national records in Canberra. Thus, while the predominance of Sout,h Australian material reflects the initial emphasis of this thesis, it remains a thesis about the Australian RSL because recourse to the federal material held in both Adelaide and Canberra has allowed the thesis to determine when attitudes were those of the South Australian RSL, when they were the attitudes of state branches as opposed to the federal branch, and when they represented the organisation as a whole. xl_ The thesis is about the formative years of the RSL, and its primary focus is on the period t91-6 to L932. The thesis argues that, by L932, the RSL had developed a character and direction in marked contrast to those of the immediate postwar years. 1932 is also a year in which RSL membership increased significantly from the previous year, marking the beginning of a period of growth which continued to the out.break of war in 1939. From 1-932 too, the RSL became increasingfy preoccupied with Australia's capacity to defend itself in time of war, a concern given added impetus when .Tapan withdrew from the League of Nations in March the following year. The last chapter, chapter 8, surveys the years L932 to 1939. It is neither a comprehensive nor detailed examination of this period, but a speculative outl-ine which suggests that, by 1,932, the RSI-, had turned in on itself, eschewing the vision of Australia it had espoused in the immediate postwar years and concentrating instead on the welfare of its own members and on keeping Australia safe.

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

  • Lessons in Leadership the Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD
    Lessons in Leadership The Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD By Rolfe Hartley FIEAust CPEng EngExec FIPENZ Engineers Australia Sydney Division CELM Presentation March 2013 Page 1 Introduction The man that I would like to talk about today was often referred to in his lifetime as ‘the greatest living Australian’. But today he is known to many Australians only as the man on the back of the $100 note. I am going to stick my neck out here and say that John Monash was arguably the greatest ever Australian. Engineer, lawyer, soldier and even pianist of concert standard, Monash was a true leader. As an engineer, he revolutionised construction in Australia by the introduction of reinforced concrete technology. He also revolutionised the generation of electricity. As a soldier, he is considered by many to have been the greatest commander of WWI, whose innovative tactics and careful planning shortened the war and saved thousands of lives. Monash was a complex man; a man from humble beginnings who overcame prejudice and opposition to achieve great things. In many ways, he was an outsider. He had failures, both in battle and in engineering, and he had weaknesses as a human being which almost put paid to his career. I believe that we can learn much about leadership by looking at John Monash and considering both the strengths and weaknesses that contributed to his greatness. Early Days John Monash was born in West Melbourne in 1865, the eldest of three children and only son of Louis and Bertha. His parents were Jews from Krotoshin in Prussia, an area that is in modern day Poland.

JOSE Shreyas Khanna Year 10 Student An excerpt from ‘Dulce decorum est, pro patria mori’ by Kenneth Scott “…Home, school, and country, all have been his care, His pride, his daily joy, his life, his soul: Now can the soul that shed such influence there Augment its power while endless aeons roll One of God’s saints has found his right abode…”. K.S Scott, ‘Dulce decorum est, pro patria mori’, 1917 The Latin words, ‘Dulce decorum est, pro patria mori’ are most commonly interpreted as ‘It is sweet and proper to die for one’s country’. This phrase is not an unusual reference to World War I as it appears in numerous poems, as does it on our school’s emblem [see Figure 1]. This above excerpt is written in honour of Lieutenant Wilfrid Oswald Jose, an old scholar of St Peter’s College. The latter of Wilfrid’s service in World War I is situated in northern France. In early 1916, the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) and other divisions joined the British Army in France and Belgium, at last arriving at the major battle theatre of war. Here on the Western Front, [1] terrible years of sacrifice and bloodshed was only to come. Figure 1: Our school emblem.
