    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19480-8 - Armies of Empire: The 9th Australian and 50th British Divisions in Battle 1939-1945 Allan Converse Frontmatter More information Armies of Empire The 9th Australian and 50th British Divisions in Battle 1939–1945 Armies of Empire uniquely reflects upon the experience of two divisions from different armies facing similar challenges in the Second World War. The 9th Australian Division and the British 50th (Northumbrian) Division both saw long service and suffered heavy casualties, and both encountered morale, discipline and battlefield effectiveness problems. In this illuminating, comparative study of Australian and British divisions at war, Allan Converse draws extensively on primary sources as well as recent scholarship on morale and combat efficiency. His fresh approach questions the popular mythology surrounding the Australian Digger and the British Tommy, and shows how it was a combination of leadership, loyalty and tactics, rather than intrinsic national qualities, which resulted in victory for Churchill’s armies.

You will also find the standings of the first three places in all events for men and women at the Olympic Games followed by several classifications which are listed either by the number of titles or medals by swimmer or National Federation. It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

    Learning from the Past Research Project – Central Coast, NSW

    Governance 21 Learning from the Past Research Project – Central Coast, NSW Rolf Fenner Australian Local Government Association Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In 2003, the then Sustainable Ecosystems Division of the CSIRO was engaged by the Central Coast Region of NSW to undertake a detailed regional futures analysis based on a dynamic systems approach (Senge, 1992). A key component of such a research approach was the need to better understand and appreciate the historical context of previous regional planning policy initiatives. As a regional planning practitioner of several years experience, I was engaged by the CSIRO to undertake this “learning from the past” investigation. This paper summaries the value of such a research project by both examining the methodology adopted and findings arising from such an investigation. In short, the paper argues that as a consequence of reflecting on past policy experiences it is possible to better understand and appreciate what policy decisions were previously undertaken, and subsequently improve the opportunities for future policy decision making and implementation. A total of eighteen individuals were interviewed for the project. The regional participants chosen to be interviewed were a mixture of previous community leaders, politicians or senior professional bureaucrats. To encourage frank discussion and minimise any possibility of conflict of interests, all research participants at the time of interview were no longer in their substantive positions they once held. The process of identifying key individuals and relying on oral histories is not without methodological deficiencies. Whilst acknowledging these potential weaknesses, the project nevertheless was able to make a valuable contribution to regional planning on the Central Coast by identifying previous experiences and policy relationships as they related to matters of social, economic, environmental and local/ regional governance.

II: MARY ALICE EVATT, MODERN ART AND THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES The basic details concerning Mary Alice Evatt's patronage of modern art have been documented. While she was the first woman appointed as a member of the board of trustees of the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, the rest of her story does not immediately suggest continuity between her cultural interests and those of women who displayed neither modernist nor radical inclinations; who, for example, manned charity- style committees in the name of music or the theatre. The wife of the prominent judge and Labor politician, Bert Evatt, Mary Alice studied at the modernist Sydney Crowley-Fizelle and Melbourne Bell-Shore schools during the 1930s. Later, she studied in Paris under Andre Lhote. Her husband shared her interest in art, particularly modern art, and opened the first exhibition of the Contemporary Art Society in Melbourne 1939, and an exhibition in Sydney in the same year. His brother, Clive Evatt, as the New South Wales Minister for Education, appointed Mary Alice to the Board of Trustees in 1943. As a trustee she played a role in the selection of Dobell's portrait of Joshua Smith for the 1943 Archibald Prize. Two stories thus merge to obscure further analysis of Mary Alice Evatt's contribution to the artistic life of the two cities: the artistic confrontation between modernist and anti- modernist forces; and the political career of her husband, particularly knowledge of his later role as leader of the Labor opposition to Robert Menzies' Liberal Party.
