  • Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why the Other Eight Months Deserve the Same Recognition As the Landing
    THE Simpson PRIZE A COMPETITION FOR YEAR 9 AND 10 STUDENTS 2016 Winner Western Australia Samai King Gifted and Talented Online Anzac Day: Why The Other Eight Months Deserve The Same Recognition As The Landing Samai King Gifted and Talented Online rom its early beginnings in 1916, Anzac Day and the associated Anzac legend have come to be an essential part of Australian culture. Our history of the Gallipoli campaign lacks a consensus view as there are many Fdifferent interpretations and accounts competing for our attention. By far the most well-known event of the Gallipoli campaign is the landing of the ANZAC forces on the 25th of April, 1915. Our celebration of, and obsession with, just one single day of the campaign is a disservice to the memory of the men and women who fought under the Anzac banner because it dismisses the complexity and drudgery of the Gallipoli campaign: the torturous trenches and the ever present fear of snipers. Our ‘Anzac’ soldier is a popularly acclaimed model of virtue, but is his legacy best represented by a single battle? Many events throughout the campaign are arguably more admirable than the well-lauded landing, for example the Battle for Lone Pine. Almost four times as many men died in the period of the Battle of Lone Pine than during the Landing. Statistics also document the surprisingly successful evacuation - they lost not even a single soldier to combat. We have become so enamored by the ‘Landing’ that it is now more celebrated and popular than Remembrance Day which commemorates the whole of the First World War in which Anzacs continued to serve.

  • A Critique of the Militarisation of Australian History and Culture Thesis: the Case of Anzac Battlefield Tourism
    A Critique of the Militarisation of Australian History and Culture Thesis: The Case of Anzac Battlefield Tourism Jim McKay, Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, University of Queensland This special issue on travel from Australia through a multidisciplinary lens is particularly apposite to the increasing popularity of Anzac battlefield tourism. Consider, for instance, the Dawn Service at Gallipoli in 2015, which will be the highlight of the commemoration of the Anzac Centenary between 2014 and 2018 (Anzac Centenary 2012). Australian battlefield tourism companies are already fully booked for this event, which is forecast to be ‘the largest peacetime gathering of Australians outside of Australia’ (Kelly 2011). Some academics have argued that rising participation in Anzac battlefield tours is symptomatic of a systemic and unrelenting militarisation of Australian history and culture. Historians Marilyn Lake, Mark McKenna and Henry Reynolds are arguably the most prominent proponents of this line of reasoning. According to McKenna: It seems impossible to deny the broader militarisation of our history and culture: the surfeit of jingoistic military histories, the increasing tendency for military displays before football grand finals, the extension of the term Anzac to encompass firefighters and sporting champions, the professionally stage-managed event of the dawn service at Anzac Cove, the burgeoning popularity of battlefield tourism (particularly Gallipoli and the Kokoda Track), the ubiquitous newspaper supplements extolling the virtues of soldiers past and present, and the tendency of the media and both main political parties to view the death of the last World War I veterans as significant national moments. (2007) In the opening passage of their book, What’s Wrong With Anzac? The Militarisation of Australian History (henceforth, WWWA), to which McKenna contributed a chapter, Lake and Reynolds also avowed that militarisation was a pervasive and inexorable PORTAL Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies, vol.

  • 'The First Casualty When War Comes Is Truth'
    ‘The First Casualty When War Comes is Truth’ 54 ‘The First Casualty When War Comes is Truth’: Neglected Atrocity in First World War Australian Memory Emily Gallagher Fourth Year Undergraduate, University of Notre Dame ‘The first casualty when war comes is truth’1 Hiram W. Johnson It is assumed, at least in the West, that the glorification of war is a thing of the past. Even more widely accepted is the perception that modern veneration honours the dead without bias or prejudice. In fact, the rich tapestry of the ANZAC legend glorifies war and readily rejects its associated horrors, projecting constructions of heroism and virtue onto national memory. Exploring the popular perception that inhumane war practices are inherently non-Western, this paper assesses the persisting silence on the grotesque experiences of soldiers in war. An examination of the nature and use of chemical warfare in World War One (WWI) and historiographical analysis of Australian scholarship on WWI will form the foundation of case evidence. Additionally, the psychological analysis of ‘joyful killing’ will be discussed as a potential framework through which modern commemoration can expose past embellishments. Bruce Scates’ Return to Gallipoli considers death and the ‘narrowed’ nature of ANZAC war commemoration. He argues that commemorative services perform a conservative political purpose, 1 Attributed to Senator Hiram Johnson in 1917, this quote originates from Samuel Johnson in 1758. See Suzy Platt (ed.), Respectfully Quoted: a Dictionary of Quotations Requested from the Congressional Research service(Washington: Library of Congress, 1989), 360. 55 history in the making vol. 4 no. 1 where personal mourning is displaced with sentiments of patriotism and sacrifice.2 Pronouncing WWI the ‘great imaginative event’ of the century, Peter Hoffenberg argues that Australians have sought to comprehend the catastrophe of war through references to landscape.3 Certainly, the WWI cemeteries on the Western Front strongly support this venture.

  • Australians at War (World Wars I And
    Source 6 .1 Historians use a variety of primary and secondary sources when conducting historical inquiries. By examining artefacts such as propaganda posters, war medals and photographs taken on the battleþ elds, they can gain a more complete understanding of the heroic sacriþ ces and day-to-day experiences of Australians during times of war. 6 AUSTRALIANSSAMPLE AT WAR (WORLD WARS I AND II) In this chapter, we investigate key aspects of World War I (1914–1918) and World War II (1939–1945), providing a particular focus on how Australians experienced these wars. We will also investigate the impacts of these wars, both in Australia and around the world. World War I became known as a ‘total war’ because, for the þ rst time, nations around the world committed not only their armed forces to the war effort but also their industries, resources and people from all sectors of society. World War II took þ ghting to new levels and remains one of the deþ ning events of the 20th century. It played out across Europe, the Paciþ c, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. 09_DEN_IH9_29708_TXT_SI.indd 266 3/12/13 7:51 AM WHAT WERE THE CAUSES, SCOPE AND NATURE OF WORLD WAR I? 6.1 SECTION In this section you will: » outline the main causes of World War I » describe the nature of warfare during the Gallipoli campaign » explain why Australians enlisted to þ ght » explain the outcome of the Gallipoli campaign » locate and sequence the places where » investigate the signiþ cant experiences of Australians Australians fought in World War I CHECKPOINT 6.1 WHAT WERE THE
