    Commemorating the Overseas-Born Victoria Cross Heroes a First World War Centenary Event

    Commemorating the overseas-born Victoria Cross heroes A First World War Centenary event National Memorial Arboretum 5 March 2015 Foreword Foreword The Prime Minister, David Cameron The First World War saw unprecedented sacrifice that changed – and claimed – the lives of millions of people. Even during the darkest of days, Britain was not alone. Our soldiers stood shoulder-to-shoulder with allies from around the Commonwealth and beyond. Today’s event marks the extraordinary sacrifices made by 145 soldiers from around the globe who received the Victoria Cross in recognition of their remarkable valour and devotion to duty fighting with the British forces. These soldiers came from every corner of the globe and all walks of life but were bound together by their courage and determination. The laying of these memorial stones at the National Memorial Arboretum will create a lasting, peaceful and moving monument to these men, who were united in their valiant fight for liberty and civilization. Their sacrifice shall never be forgotten. Foreword Foreword Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles The Centenary of the First World War allows us an opportunity to reflect on and remember a generation which sacrificed so much. Men and boys went off to war for Britain and in every town and village across our country cenotaphs are testimony to the heavy price that so many paid for the freedoms we enjoy today. And Britain did not stand alone, millions came forward to be counted and volunteered from countries around the globe, some of which now make up the Commonwealth. These men fought for a country and a society which spanned continents and places that in many ways could not have been more different.

There are lessons to be learned from this episode. Commentary 26 SEPTEMBER 2018 marks the 75th anniversary of Operation Jaywick, a daring Allied commando raid to destroy Japanese ships anchored in Singapore harbour during the Second World War. Though it was only a small military operation that came under the larger Allied war effort in the Pacific, it is worth noting that the methods employed bear many similarities to what is today known as asymmetric warfare. States and militaries often have to contend with asymmetric warfare either as part of a larger campaign or when defending against adversaries. Traditionally regarded as the strategy of the weak, it enables a weaker armed force to compensate for disparities in conventional force capabilities. Increasingly, it has been employed by non-state actors such as terrorist groups and insurgencies against the United States and its allies to great effect, as witnessed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and more recently Marawi.

    Historical Officers Report March 2019 Taken from Wikipedia in the Early

    Historical Officers Report March 2019 Taken from Wikipedia In the early 1920s North Beach rang again to the sound of work parties. Monumental stone from a Turkish quarry was off-loaded at a pier under the lee of the wreck of the Milo. From there it was lifted by aerial ropeway up past the Sphinx to the heights near Baby 700 and south down the ridge to the site of the great Australian monument on Gallipoli–Lone Pine. From North Beach stone also went out to build the cemeteries of Anzac, from Hill 60 in the north to Shell Green Cemetery in the south, 21 cemeteries and three memorials in all. The work was overseen by the Imperial (later Commonwealth) War Graves Commission’s Director of Works on Gallipoli, Lieutenant-Colonel Cyril Hughes, a Tasmanian who had served on Gallipoli. Before Hughes commenced this work of remembrance, he was visited between 15 February and 10 March 1919 by the Australian Historical Mission led by Charles Bean. The mission had come to solve, if it could, some of what Bean called ‘the riddles of Anzac’. It came also to collect material for Bean’s proposed war museum in Australia, a museum that was eventually to develop into the Australian War Memorial. George Lambert, the painter, accompanied the mission and Bean set him to the task of making sketches for what would become two of Australia’s best known war paintings–Anzac, the landing 1915 and The Charge of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade at the Nek, August 1915. Panorama of North Beach taken from Ari Burnu in 1919, showing the slopes first rushed by Australian soldiers on the day of the landing.
