DAVIES PRE AMBLE The aims of this study are to describe the syntax of the Simple Sentence in Kobon (sections 1-3 ) and to discuss this in relation to the pr edictions made by the univer sals of grammar proposed by Greenberg 1963 (section 4). In pursuanc e of these aims it has been necessary to describe the other three Sent ence types briefly - Complex, Compound and Contrafactual Condit ion , especially in section 4. The study is written in prose rather than formulas and abbreviat ions are used spar­ ingly, in the hope that this will be easier on the read er . With the exception of Maps 1-3 , whic h are taken from Davies 1977 and whic h are based on Jackson 1975, the whole of this study is my own original work. The data upon which the st udy is based were gat hered by me during a period of about 24 months between 1972 and 1976. I am grateful to the delight ful Kobon people who allowed me and my wife and children to live with them during this time, and who provided me with the linguistic data. Sp ecial thanks are due to the four young men who worked wi th me on a regular basis - Jepi, Ugai, Lipgi and Urumungu. They spent many hours helping me to transcribe the 100-odd pages of the text material which I had recorded upon which this study is partly based . The other main part of the data is about 4000 ut t erances, some spoken in cont ext , some elicited . I am very much indebted to Dr Bernard Comr ie , who supervised my work during the wr it ing of the original thesis. It has been my privi­ lege to attend lectures and participate in Seminar s conducted by him on Phonology and Language Universals, and in addition to have the opportunity to benefit from his insight ful suggestions in my research on the Kobon language. I am very grateful to him for his accessibilit y 1 Davies, H.J. "The Syntax of the Simple Sentence in Kobon".

IN TRODUCTION 0.1. THE KOBON PEOPLE ANV THEIR ENVIRONMENT Most of the 4000 Kobon live in the Kaironk Valley which lies in something of a geographical 'no-mans-land ' between the great Bismarck and Schrader Ranges of Papua New Guinea. From the administrat ive point of view the location is at the outer extremities of three provinc es - the Western Highland s Province, the Madang Province and the East Sepik Prov ince. It is not surprising that the first posit ive and persist ing influenc e by the Au stralian administration was not made until around 1960. Neighbours to the east beyond Ainonk and Womok are the Kalam and to the we st beyond Singapi are the Wiyaw (see Maps 1-3 in Append ix A) .

    ‘FEED THE TROOPS ON VICTORY’: A STUDY OF THE AUSTRALIAN CORPS AND ITS OPERATIONS DURING AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 1918. RICHARD MONTAGU STOBO Thesis prepared in requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences University of New South Wales, Canberra June 2020 Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Stobo Given Name/s : Richard Montagu Abbreviation for degree as given in the : PhD University calendar Faculty : History School : Humanities and Social Sciences ‘Feed the Troops on Victory’: A Study of the Australian Corps Thesis Title : and its Operations During August and September 1918. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis examines reasons for the success of the Australian Corps in August and September 1918, its final two months in the line on the Western Front. For more than a century, the Corps’ achievements during that time have been used to reinforce a cherished belief in national military exceptionalism by highlighting the exploits and extraordinary fighting ability of the Australian infantrymen, and the modern progressive tactical approach of their native-born commander, Lieutenant-General Sir John Monash. This study re-evaluates the Corps’ performance by examining it at a more comprehensive and granular operational level than has hitherto been the case. What emerges is a complex picture of impressive battlefield success despite significant internal difficulties that stemmed from the particularly strenuous nature of the advance and a desperate shortage of manpower. These played out in chronic levels of exhaustion, absenteeism and ill-discipline within the ranks, and threatened to undermine the Corps’ combat capability. In order to reconcile this paradox, the thesis locates the Corps’ performance within the wider context of the British army and its operational organisation in 1918.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted, in any form or by any means, without the prior permission of the publishers: PAPUA NEW GUINEA ASSOCIATION OF AUSTRALIA Inc. www. pngaa.org It is well over seventy years since the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles (NGVR) was involved in WWII. 1942 was NGVR’s year, the year the unit was mobilised, fought and disbanded after it served its purpose. Although NGVR’s role was small, its importance cannot be appreciated without viewing it in a broader strategic way. PRIOR TO THE PACIFIC WAR, the Japanese wished to establish its own ‘sphere of influence’ or colonies in South East Asia; however, the western powers were critical of its aims. Thus Japan was in a situation of stalemate—the US initiated sanctions which Japan could not tolerate for nationalistic pride and economic reasons; it had to either bow to the western powers or aggressively progress its plan. The US was neutral and Japan thought if it could destroy the US Pacific Fleet and establish its South East Asian Economic Sphere of Co-posterity (SEASEC) swiftly, it would be able to negotiate a peaceable solution with the US, rather than go to war.

  • World War One Memorials in the City of Melbourne by Dr Michael Cathcart
    World War One memorials in the City of Melbourne by Dr Michael Cathcart For five terrible years following 1914, boys from all over Australia – the brave, the nervous, the brilliant and the dull of wit – marched off to fight in a European conflict. Some expected a glorious adventure – a noble battle against a demonic foe. Others enlisted because the ‘King’s shilling’ was too shiny a coin to resist. And some went, sick with fear, because soldiering was expected of them. What they experienced was slaughter, a relentless chain of battles in which men were ripped apart by the new-fangled machines of death. When the tireless guns finally fell silent on 11 November 1918, they left over 37 million corpses – civilian and military – on the battle fields of Europe. The human cost to Australia was beyond comprehension. From a population of fewer than five million, 416,809 men had enlisted. Over 60,000 were killed. Another 156,000 were wounded, gassed, or taken prisoner. How was this young nation to make sense of so much suffering? Through the 1920s and 30s, communities, individuals and organisations erected monuments to the dead. These cenotaphs and statues were like so many Stations of the Cross – places for stillness and reflection – where stories of healing and hope could be told in place of a great horror which few could name. Here, the men who had been massacred were invested with honour and dignity. They were elevated as ‘the fallen’; the men who made ‘the ultimate sacrifice’; ‘the glorious dead’. In the monuments which Australians erected, no one story of the war dominates to the exclusion of all others.

  • ANZAC Day 2020
    Dear Gentlemen Whilst the streets will be quiet and empty this year, we can still join our veterans and RSL to remember those who have sacrificed the ultimate during previous conflicts. MHSOBA members, families and friends are encouraged to join the rest of the country this ANZAC day. At 0600 you can stand in your driveway, on your balcony or in your lounge room to commemorate those who served, those who died and those who are still serving. A live ABC radio broadcast from the Australian War Memorial will be available at 0600 tomorrow morning. To listen, go to https://www.abc.net.au/radio/sydney/anzac-day-2020/12133324 For their ongoing efforts to find missing Old Boys who served in all theatres of war, MHSOBA acknowledges and thanks William (Bill) Latham, Lambis Englezos, Alan Gregory and Luke Savage. Lest We Forget. Peter Stathopoulos President MHSOBA Inc. The School and WWI Coming within the first decade of the school’s life, the Great War had a profound effect on the school. The enlistment rate by old boys was very high, and the Principal Joseph Hocking, focused the school community on their service, with lists, articles and photos in the school magazine. The school magazine, Ours, was posted to old boys known to be serving overseas, who would then write to the school about their happenings, which would be published and sent overseas. A number of photos and letters about the Gallipoli landing were published in Ours within 3 monthsof the landing itself. This constant feedback tied the students and the old boys together.

  • Appendix 2 Civilian Wartime Experience in The
    APPENDIX 2 CIVILIAN WARTIME EXPERIENCE IN TH E TERRITORIES OF PAPUA AND NEW GUINE A By A. J. SWEETIN G N 1941 Australians in general knew far more about countries half a I world away than they did about the Territories of Papua and Ne w Guinea to their immediate north. This island chain, soon to become a bulwark of Australia's defence, to the average mainlander was a remote country, peopled by bearded missionaries, miners and patrol officers an d by whisky-swilling planters and traders who made a handsome livelihoo d out of exploiting the indigenous population ; if the European did not di e there of drink or disease, he was equally likely to die of the spear . With Japan's attack this outlook was radically changed . New Guinea and Papua became Australia's front door, with the enemy knocking hard upon it . Hardly an Australian home was left untouched by events taking place there . Tiny hitherto unknown villages were soon to become household names , and in time to take their place in military history with other famed place s where Australians had fought and died . The New Guinea territory, first to come under Japanese attack, include d that part of the main island of New Guinea east of the Dutch New Guine a border (excluding Papua), New Britain and the arc of islands extendin g south-east from Manus through New Ireland to Bougainville in the Solomo n Islands. Formerly a German colony, it had been administered by Australi a under a mandate from the League of Nations since 1920.
