Issue 30, 2021 On morning of 1 July 1945 hundreds of warships and vessels from the United States Navy, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN), and the Royal Netherlands Navy lay off the coast of Balikpapan, an oil refining centre on Borneo’s south-east coast. An Australian soldier described the scene: Landing craft are in formation and swing towards the shore. The naval gunfire is gaining momentum, the noise from the guns and bombs exploding is terrific … waves of Liberators [heavy bombers] are pounding the area.1 This offensive to land the veteran 7th Australian Infantry Division at Balikpapan was the last of a series amphibious operations conducted by the Allies to liberate areas of Dutch and British territory on Borneo. It was the largest amphibious operation conducted by Australian forces during the Second World War. Within an hour some 16,500 troops were ashore and pushing inland, along with nearly 1,000 vehicles.2 Ultimately more than 33,000 personnel from the 7th Division and Allied forces were landed in the amphibious assault.3 Balikpapan is often cited as an example of the expertise achieved by Australian forces in amphibious operations during the war.4 It was a remarkable development.

In this connection history continues to repeat itself and one feels that as the respon­ sibility for efficient supervision and for the remedying of sanitary defects rests on commanding officers and through them on subordinate commanders (para 95(c) Q.Rs 1961), as well as the fact that the responsibility for the health of the troops is that of the commanding officer at all levels, such reports by medical officers, should be addressed directly to the appropriate commander with copies to their immediate medical superior.

Two of the major recommendations of the Art of Living Plan have resulted in the establishment of the Edmonton Heritage Council and the creation of a Historian Laureate position. The Edmonton Heritage Council (EHC) was formally launched in 2009 and the selection process for the first City of Edmonton Historian Laureate was well underway at year-end. In addition, the City of Edmonton’s proactive thinking in its management of historic resources resulted in the City receiving the prestigious Prince of Wales Prize for Municipal Heritage Leadership in 2009.

  • Envision 109 : Phase
    109 STREET STREETSCAPE CONCEPT DESIGN PHASE ONE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WHAT WE HEARD REPORT City of Edmonton Sustainable Development and Integrated Infrastructure Services February 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS A. Project Overview B. Public Involvement Process C. What We Heard ‐ Overall Themes D. What We Heard: Public Input Details Appendix A – Project Stakeholders Appendix B ‐ Public Open House ‐ Communications/Advertising Appendix C – Public Open House Materials Appendix D – Comment Form A. PROJECT OVERVIEW The City of Edmonton initiated a Streetscape Concept Design study for 109 Street between 61 Avenue and the High Level Bridge (Envision 109) in 2015. The corridor serves several residential neighbourhoods, schools, businesses and major transit routes and is a major route linking downtown and south Edmonton. Planning studies have been carried out to revitalize the corridor over the past decade. The 109 Street Corridor Area Redevelopment Plan (ARP) (2013) suggested that a Comprehensive Streetscape Improvement Plan be developed to review the function of the corridor, to improve the pedestrian environment and to help revitalize the adjacent areas. Streetscape improvements will be built in stages as funding becomes available. Working together with the public and stakeholders, Envision 109 aims to develop future streetscape concept designs that: make the street aesthetically appealing; address the needs of drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders; and consider opportunities to enhance accessibility, safety, furnishings, signage, surface treatments, public art, lighting, public spaces and more. Two streetscape concept design options will be developed: short‐term off‐street improvements— improvements to the public realm that do not involve reconstruction of the roadway—and long‐term road/streetscape improvements— reconstruction of roadway that envisions a more pedestrian oriented street.

Despite being present at a number of significant engagements, it has been overlooked by historians. Many assumptions have been made about armoured reconnaissance, including a belief that reconnaissance regiments were mostly or entirely support units, rather than combat units. This study aims to show that the 7th played an important role in the combat operations of 3rd Division in Northwest Europe.
