The Melbourne Legacy Bulletin October 2017
28/09/2017 The Melbourne Legacy Bulletin October 2017 BEERSHEBA - THE LAST GREAT CAVALRY CHARGE IN HISTORY? The town of Beersheba is located at the foot of the Judean Hills on the northern edge of the Negev Desert in Palestine (now modern day Israel). For centuries it was a strategic military position and so it was in World War 1. In the early part of the 20th Century Beersheba was part of Ottoman Empire and was controlled by Turkey. Beersheba was an important Turkish communications centre and the site of the only fresh water wells in the area. Consequently the Turks fortified the town appropriately with machine gun and artillery positions supporting entrenched troops. As a prelude to the opening of the Sinai and Palestinian Offensive, designed to drive Turkish forces from the Middle East, the British decided to attack Beersheba in October 1917. The commander of the British forces was General Edmund Allenby who had at his disposal two divisions of XX Corps of the British Army and the Australian Mounted Division’s 4th and 12th Light Horse Regiments of the 4th Light Horse Brigade under the command of Lieutenant General Harry Chauvel. Initially Allenby tried an infantry assault on Beersheba with limited success. The plains of the Negev Desert are desolate, hot and featureless so there was no possibility of surprising the Turkish forces; they could literally see for miles. What’s more, they had rigged the wells with demolition charges. Should they be overrun; their last act would be to destroy the wells, denying the British much needed water. -

Our first year was very much about governance while our second year has been around bedding in the structure, processes and planning. The year began with the movement from Melbourne and the consolidation of the staff in one office in Sydney. This was achieved with minimum fuss, no real disruption to services and has resulted in us having our first real home rather than being a lodger with one of the clubs. All of this takes time and our staff have shown an enormous capacity for hard work, patience and resilience. The Board has settled into its new home and has developed routines and processes which allows the committees and the Board to work effectively. -
Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g. -

RHSV Digital Engagement Survey Report 2016 B
Royal Historical Society of Victoria Digital Engagement Survey Report 1 September 2016 239 A’Beckett Street Melbourne VIC 3000 9326 9288 [email protected] www.historyvictoria.org.au A. Introduction This survey was designed to fill an information gap about the level of digital engagement of the member groups of the RHSV. In particular, we are interested in the proportion of our member groups that are connected to the internet and the software they are using (if any) to catalogue their collections. Groups were also asked other questions such as about their web presence and digitisation projects. The survey was distributed to 304 historical groups. 299 were distributed by email and five were posted to historical groups without an email address. We received 98 responses – a response rate of over 30%. “Surveys that you distribute internally (i.e. to employees) generally have a much higher response rate than those distributed to external audiences (i.e. customers). Internal surveys will generally receive a 30-40% response rate (or more) on average, compared to an average 10- 15% response rate for external surveys.” (Survey Gizmo, 2015) As an external survey, 30% would be a reasonable response rate. This was a free Survey Monkey survey and so there were limitations on the number of questions (and therefor the scope and detail) and on the analysis of data. I have attempted to cross check some information in this report, and if further analysis is required please let me know. I have included some quotes from the survey in italics under the relevant questions, but all the raw data can be accessed here so all comments can be viewed: https://www.surveymonkeysurveymonkeysurveymonkey.com/user/sign-in/ Username: RHSV1909 Password: RHSV1909 Click the link RHSV Affiliated Goups Survey - Digital Engagement Click the Analyse Results tab on the right then scroll down the Question Summaries . -
