Last Meeting Tom after mentioning how pleasing it was to amongst us again, said at the outset how difficult he had found to condense what he would like to include in the time permitted, Some 1400 years, but it was fantastic that he did so and more. The explanation of how the original Maygars became known as Hungarians was followed by the location of the original area which in 895AD was known as the Carpathian Basin, the eastern Urals to West Mongolia. Although there were 7 original tribes, one ruler prevailed, Prince Arpad, with Christianity under Geza commencing in 972, but the founder was credited to his son Stephan in 1001 who actually ruled from 997 to 1031. Invasions and Occupations occurred from 1241 with Betu Khan, son of Genghis, wh effectively wiped out 50% of the population, some 1.5M people. The “Second” Founder, King Bela ruled for some 80 years, to 1526 when Suleiman won over the Maygars and ruled for 150 years during which period saw the Turkish and Muslim influences arise, but with the Hapsburg dynasty defeating the Turks in 1683 and the destruction of their places of worship, it ruled for a further 150 years. In 1848 independence from the German speaking Austrians saw the formation of the Hungarian peoples, which within a year saw a Russian/Austrian speaking people but retaining an Hungarian nationality, which in 1867 morphed into the Austrian/Hungarian Empire. Following WWI in 1920 saw Hungary lose two thirds of its land mass and new countries formed from this – Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia and Romania. With little respite from conflict, Hitler was on the scene and using Russian bombers on Budapest tricked Hungary’s declaration of war against the Allies, then caused the almost total destruction of Budapest to prevent Russian advances. German occupation in April 1945 had all bridges across the Danube destroyed. With the Russians then in control, a Communist takeover ensued, thwarting a coalition to enable the Rakios regime from 1945 to 1956 and fear induced into the entire population by the secret services’ activities from 1949. All walks of life were thus affected – religion, education, entrepreneurial enterprises, even collectivisation of the rural farming. Food imports soon followed, and this from a food exporting country.

Rotary Club of Roseville Chase Bulletin 10 Rotary Club of Roseville Chase Bulletin Lieutenant General (Retd) Ken Gillespie AC, DSC, CSM
Ken retired from the Army on 27 June 2011 after a 43.5 year career. He was born in Brisbane in June 1952 and at the ripe old age of 15.5 years he enlisted in the Australian Army as an apprentice in 1968. He graduated from the Officer Cadet School, Portsea in 1972 and was commissioned into the corps of the Royal Australian Engineers.
Ken enjoyed a diverse career. In his early years he performed a number of instructional, administrative and leadership functions, mainly associated with military engineering. As a middle ranking and senior officer he gained significant operational experience both as a deployed commander and eventually as the overseer of all Australian military operations. He demonstrated very high order strategic planning, engagement and implementation skills and excelled in demanding high command appointments.
For his distinguished service and high order achievements as the Vice Chief of the Defence Force/Chief of Joint Operations and Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Gillespie was advanced to Companion in the Military Division of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day 2011 Honours List. He was previously advanced to Officer of the Order of Australia for his service as Commander Australian Contingent, Operation Slipper, having been a Member of the Order for his service as Commander ASTJIC. He was also awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his command and leadership in East Timor in 2000/2001 and the Conspicuous Service Medal for his work in Namibia in 1989/90. Lieutenant General Gillespie was awarded the Legion of Merit (Commander) from the United States of America in 2009. In 2010, the Republic of Singapore awarded him the Meritorious Service Medal (Military – Pingat Jasa Gemilang).
Since his departure from the Service, Ken enjoyed a long break but has recently started to re-engage with the workforce. He is the part time Defence Adviser to the New South Wales Government, chairs the NSW Centenary of Anzac Advisory Council, a Director of the Boards of Australian Aerospace Limited, the White Ribbon Foundation, and the Australian Drugs Foundation. He formed his own small strategic consultancy company and consults to Government Departments, Corporations and small companies on leadership, culture and change management. He is becoming a successful national level corporate speaker. He remains very supportive of Ex-Service organisations and Legacy. He is an ambassador for national bowel and prostate cancer organisations as well as Soldier On a charity concerned with supporting wounded soldiers.
Rotary Club of Roseville Chase Bulletin 11 Tom Jambrick Last Meeting Continued
Tom then gave some anecdotes of their life under Russian domination. Confiscation of his Mother’s sewing machines and textiles – resulting from being “dobbed in” to the authorities – being shot if protesting – penal outcomes from listening to Free Europe broadcasts – and two terrifying outcomes from neighbours’ capture/torture and self-sacrifice to obtain release. Tom also related their history book “editing” by the authorities and then lead into the 1956 Revolution, its betrayals and Tom with his father, being caught in cross fire and his father shot dead. This galvanised Tom’s mother into insisting upon Tom’s escape to the west. Through chance, bravery and good fortune, with hair raising burava, Tom found his way to assistance and eventual patriation to Melbourne and another branch of his family. Tom concluded with scenes of his home, then and the area now, the beautiful buildings of Budapest now, by day and by night, with specific emphasis on Parliament, the Basilica, the Castle (commenced 1300s), Fisherman Bastion, Martyrs’ Church (1095, sacked 1241 and rebuilt C13th), Heroes’ Square, the Opera House and Alexander’s Coffee House. A very memorable night. Thank you very much, Tom.
