Rohservice 20.Pdf Faces of the Fallen On August 4th, 1914, Britain declared war on Germany and Australia, along with Britain’s other colonies, enthusiastically pledged their support. At the fledgling University of Queensland and the Queensland Agricultural College, Gatton, students and staff followed the ground swell of patriotism and enlisted in large numbers. Nearly four hundred students and staff from Gatton and the University of Queensland were involved in active overseas and home service during the war. Over the ensuing four years of conflict, eighty-four students and staff from both institutions lost their lives in the service of their country. From the beginning of Australia’s involvement in active combat, they paid the ultimate price; fourteen men died during our involvement on the Gallipoli peninsula, two of those on the 25th of April, with two more dying the next day. Following the withdrawal from Gallipoli to Europe the conflict exacted a greater toll on Australia, with thirteen students, three on the same day, dying during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The next year brought little relief as six students died during the battle of Bullecourt in the early months of 1917. Later, thirteen more would perish during the Third Battle of Ypres, also known by names such as Menin Road, Polygon Wood, Broodseinde Ridge, Passchendaele and Zonnebeke. At Zonnebeke, in Belgium, five students died on the same day, 4th October 1917. The final year of the war, 1918, saw seven students die near Amiens, France, during the German spring offensive, tragically two UQ students, both Honours graduates in Classics died on the same th day, the 5 of April 1918. Australian War Memorial E00833 The conflict in Europe was not the only area where Australians fought and died. During several battles in the Middle East, mainly in Egypt and Palestine, eight students died, sadly two students from Gatton died in the same engagement on 7th November 1917. Young lives were not only lost in actual combat. Seven students died from sickness during the war, and five, one from the effects of poison gas, passed away after the war. Four more students died as a result of accidents, one in an airplane crash while a popular lecturer at UQ drowned in Russia in August 1919 during a post war military intervention. Memorials were created to remember the fallen. At St Lucia, a plaque is located in the foyer of the Forgan Smith building, while at Gatton one is at the War Memorial swimming pool and an honour board is in the Past Students’ Association museum. The plaque in Forgan Smith came about from work done by the University War Memorial Committee formed during the war. Originally located on the University’s former site at George Street, it was installed in 1975 in the foyer of Forgan Smith. The Gatton plaque and board drew upon work undertaken by the Gatton Old Boys and Past Students’ Association, resulting in the unveiling of the memorial when the War Memorial swimming pool opened in 1959. We might be forgiven to forget that they were young men, full of life, intelligence and adventure who sacrificed their lives doing what they believed was the right thing. They were more than just names to the people who knew them; they were individuals who were loved by many and missed forever by their families and friends. While their names have been remembered through these memorial plaques, the faces of the fallen have faded from memory. On this, the 100th year since the conclusion of the war, the University of Queensland Archives has attempted to put faces to these names and bring them back into the public eye. To honour them, to remember them, to never forget what they have done. “They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old, At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them” Laurence Binyon, “For the Fallen” LEST WE FORGET University of Queensland Born 23rd March 1895 in Sydney, he matriculated March 1915.

  • THE HISTORY of SURGERY in QUEENSLAND [By C
    138 THE HISTORY OF SURGERY IN QUEENSLAND [By C. A. C. LEGGETT, M.B.E., M.B., M.S., F.R.A.C.S., F.A.C.S.] (Read before a Meeting of the Society and members of the medical profession at A.M.A. House, Brisbane, on 29 August 1974.) It is my intention in this paper to deal with some aspects of surgical practice in Queensland from the time of separa­ tion from New South Wales in 1859 until the present time. I will talk of some of the surgeons who practised in Queens­ land during this century of time and will discuss in a critical fashion some of the factors which influenced the standards of surgical practice. The memory of the tragic death of Ballow at Dunwich from typhus fever in 1850 was stUl fresh in memory when the story begins. When the story ends complex operations are common place and open heart sur- l-irM Brisbane Hospital. Built as convict hospital (1827-1839). Used until 1879 when Supreme Court was built on site. From the Oxley Memorial Library collection. Dr. Leggett is a senior Brisbane surgeon who has made extensive research into local medical history. 139 gery is being carried out in Brisbane with results comparable to any obtained anywhere in Australia. I will talk of Barton and Bell, Cannan and O'Doherty in the earlier years. I wUl observe that Joseph Bancroft, scientist and naturalist, practised early neurosurgery! Special emphasis will be placed on the life and work of Sandford Jackson. This man came to Brisbane when the first glim­ merings of light were beginning to appear after the long night of surgical darkness.

  • First Placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship Examination 1873-1962
    Promising lives: First placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship examination 1873-1962 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics at the University of Queensland in December 2006. Marion Elizabeth Mackenzie BA, BSW, PGDip(Arts) Statement of originality I certify that this thesis is original and my own work, except where the work of others is quoted and acknowledged as such in the text. This material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. Abstract The Scholarship was an external examination held at the end of primary school when students were generally aged thirteen or fourteen. It dominated Queensland education for ninety years from 1873 until 1962. For much of that period, passing the examination was the only opportunity for most children to enter secondary education. It was at first a competitive examination for limited places in the early grammar schools, and later a qualifying examination for entrance to any secondary school. The principal focus of this thesis is the early promise displayed by 186 young Queenslanders who were ranked first in the state in the examination. It draws conclusions about the impact of education on individuals and society through longitudinal research, by examining the influence of family, school, community attitudes, world events and personal choices on the outcomes for those successful students. It investigates how early success was translated into their later lives, how they dealt with the opportunities and barriers they encountered, whether females and males had different outcomes, and in what ways they differed from their peers.

  • The Britain and the World Conference 2016
    Welcome to the Britain and the World Conference 2016 Having done our bit for Britain and the world for nine years now, we're honoured that HM Government chose simultaneously to highlight Britain's place in that world, and to increase public awareness and probably voter turnout, by scheduling the long-awaited EU Referendum on the middle day of our annual conference. On Friday we'll know whether Britain has chosen, depending on one's own disposition, to be isolated or to have re-joined the world. It feels apt, if uncommon, for a history conference to coincide, in place and time, with a historic event. As if that were not enough excitement to getting along with, this year Britain and the World takes place for the first time in London, and predictably our biggest conference ever. We hope it doesn't feel too big, and that its distinctively friendly and sociable nature is maintained. As far as the programme is concerned I'm afraid there's no other word for it than 'packed': there are sixty four panels, and nearly 200 speakers. The first panels begin at 8.30 am and the daily plenaries end at 6.30 pm, to be followed by our usual entertainments. We've tried as much as possible to avoid scheduling panels of similar appeal at the same time, but we hope you appreciate how complicated this conference has been to plan. You may wish to drop into panels for particular papers, which is another reason for our asking speakers to observe, and chairs to enforce, the twenty minute rule.
