Lessons in Leadership the Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD
Lessons in Leadership The Life of Sir John Monash GCMG, KCB, VD By Rolfe Hartley FIEAust CPEng EngExec FIPENZ Engineers Australia Sydney Division CELM Presentation March 2013 Page 1 Introduction The man that I would like to talk about today was often referred to in his lifetime as ‘the greatest living Australian’. But today he is known to many Australians only as the man on the back of the $100 note. I am going to stick my neck out here and say that John Monash was arguably the greatest ever Australian. Engineer, lawyer, soldier and even pianist of concert standard, Monash was a true leader. As an engineer, he revolutionised construction in Australia by the introduction of reinforced concrete technology. He also revolutionised the generation of electricity. As a soldier, he is considered by many to have been the greatest commander of WWI, whose innovative tactics and careful planning shortened the war and saved thousands of lives. Monash was a complex man; a man from humble beginnings who overcame prejudice and opposition to achieve great things. In many ways, he was an outsider. He had failures, both in battle and in engineering, and he had weaknesses as a human being which almost put paid to his career. I believe that we can learn much about leadership by looking at John Monash and considering both the strengths and weaknesses that contributed to his greatness. Early Days John Monash was born in West Melbourne in 1865, the eldest of three children and only son of Louis and Bertha. His parents were Jews from Krotoshin in Prussia, an area that is in modern day Poland. -

POZIERES: THE ANZAC STORY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Scott Bennett | 416 pages | 01 Jan 2013 | Scribe Publications | 9781921844836 | English | Carlton North, Australia Pozieres: The Anzac Story : Scott Bennett : Howard predicts "a bloody holocaust". Elliott urges him to go back to Field Marshal Haig and inform him that Haking's strategy is flawed. Whether or not Howard was able to do so, remains unclear, but by the morning of the 19th the only result has been a delay in the operation. German defences on the Aubers Ridge and at Fromelles are substantial and continue to cause immense tactical difficulties for the British and Australians. By July , the 6th Bavarian Reserve Division holds more than 7 kilometres of the German front line. Each of the Division's regiments has been allocated a sector, each in turn manned by individual infantry companies. The trenches never run in a completely straight line, but are zig zagged to limit the damage from artillery, machine gun fire and bombing attacks. At their strongest, the German trenches are protected by sandbagged breastworks over two metres high and six metres deep, which makes them resistant to all but direct hits by artillery. This line is further protected by thick bands of barbed wire entanglements. There are two salients in the German line where the opposing forward trenches are at their closest. One is called the Sugarloaf and the other, Wick. Both are heavily fortified and from where machine gunners overlook no man's land and the Allied lines beyond. Along the German line, there are about 75 solid concrete shelters. -
Jack Castle-Burns
THE Simpson PRIZE A COMPETITION FOR YEAR 9 AND 10 STUDENTS 2013 Winner Australian Capital Territory Jack Castle-Burns Marist College Canberra What does an investigation of primary sources reveal about the Gallipoli experience and to what extent does this explain the origins of the ANZAC Legend? Jack Castle-Burns Maris College Canberra 13 Battles can be defining points in a nation’s history. The Battle of Gallipoli is no exception to this and is celebrated as a fundamental aspect of Australia’s foundation. The ANZAC Legend is often considered to have originated at Gallipoli where soldiers acted valiantly, never gave up and supported their mates. Many of these aspects that we define as the ANZAC Legend were evinced in World War One and have endured for decades in all of Australia’s conflicts. Sources from Gallipoli, especially those of soldiers, narrate a story of a disorganised and horrific campaign with dramatic and often wasteful loss of life. Sources relate the hardships our ANZACs experienced while official reports and newspapers tell of an overwhelming victory. In all this, through the emotional struggles of soldiers and their amazing feats, the ANZAC Legend was born. Primary sources inform historians that the preparation for the landing of the ANZACs was inadequate and inaccurate. In planning the invasion military staff used a map based on surveys from 18541 that was essentially useless due to its age. From this map further maps were drawn on a smaller scale, which also included intelligence gained through aerial reconnaissance. However, in practice, the maps were highly inaccurate with soldiers reporting numerous geographical faults that led to misdirection upon invasion at Gallipoli2. -

April 2021 Chairman’S Column
THE TIGER The ANZAC Commemorative Medalion, awarded in 1967 to surviving members of the Australian forces who served on the Gallipoli Peninsula or their next of kin THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 113 – APRIL 2021 CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to The Tiger. It would be improper for me to begin this month’s column without first acknowledging those readers who contacted me to offer their condolences on my recent bereavement. Your cards and messages were very much appreciated and I hope to be able to thank you all in person once circumstances permit. Another recent passing, reported via social media, was that of military writer and historian Lyn Macdonald, whose Great War books, based on eyewitness accounts of Great War veterans, may be familiar to many of our readers. Over the twenty years between 1978 and 1998, Lyn completed a series of seven volumes, the first of which, They Called It Passchendaele, was one of my earliest purchases when I began to seriously study the Great War. I suspect it will not surprise those of you who know me well to learn that all her other works also adorn my bookshelves! The recent announcement in early March of a proposed memorial to honour Indian Great War pilot Hardit Singh Malik (shown right) will doubtless be of interest to our “aviation buffs”. Malik was the first Indian ever to fly for the Royal Flying Corps, having previously served as an Ambulance driver with the French Red Cross. A graduate of Balliol College, Oxford, it was the intervention of his tutor that finally obtained Malik a cadetship in the R.F.C. -

RAAF Radschool Association Magazine – Vol 39 Page 12 Iroquois A2-1022 On Friday the 16th March, 2012, an Iroquois aircraft with RAAF serial number A2-1022, was ceremoniously dedicated at the Caloundra (Qld) RSL. Miraculously, it was the only fine day that the Sunshine Coast had had for weeks and it hasn't stopped raining since. It was suggested that the reason for this was because God was a 9Sqn Framie in a previous life. A2-1022 was one of the early B model Iroquois aircraft purchased and flown by the RAAF and in itself, was not all that special. The RAAF bought the B Models in 3 batches, the 300 series were delivered in 1962, the 700 series in 1963 and the 1000 series were delivered in 1964. A2- 1022 was of the third series and was just an Iroquois helicopter, an airframe with an engine, rotor, seats etc, much the same as all the other sixteen thousand or so that were built by the Bell helicopter company all those years ago – it was nothing out of the ordinary. So why did so many people give up their Friday to come and stand around in the hot sun for an hour or more just to see this one?? The reason they did was because there is quite a story associated with this particular aircraft and as is usually the case, the story is more about the people who flew it, flew in it and who fixed it – not about the aircraft itself. It belonged to 9 Squadron which arrived in Vietnam, in a roundabout route, in June 1966 with 8 of this type of aircraft and was given the task of providing tactical air transport support for the Australian Task Force. -
