  • A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War M
    Bold Impressions: A Comparative Analysis of Artist Prints and Print Collecting at the Imperial War Museum and Australian War Memorial Alexandra Fae Walton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University, June 2017. © Copyright by Alexandra Fae Walton, 2017 DECLARATION PAGE I declare that this thesis has been composed solely by myself and that it has not been submitted, in whole or in part, in any previous application for a degree. Except where stated otherwise by reference or acknowledgement, the work presented is entirely my own. Acknowledgements I was inspired to write about the two print collections while working in the Art Section at the Australian War Memorial. The many striking and varied prints in that collection made me wonder about their place in that museum – it being such a special yet conservative institution in the minds of many Australians. The prints themselves always sustained my interest in the topic, but I was also fortunate to have guidance and assistance from a number of people during my research, and to make new friends. Firstly, I would like to say thank you to my supervisors: Dr Peter Londey who gave such helpful advice on all my chapters, and who saw me through the final year of the PhD; Dr Kylie Message who guided and supported me for the bulk of the project; Dr Caroline Turner who gave excellent feedback on chapters and my final oral presentation; and also Dr Sarah Scott and Roger Butler who gave good advice from a prints perspective. Thank you to Professor Joan Beaumont, Professor Helen Ennis and Professor Diane Davis from the Australian National University (ANU) for making the time to discuss my thesis with me, and for their advice.

  • Geoffrey Wellum: the Battle of Britain’S Youngest Warrior
    Never StillStay Geoffrey Wellum: The Battle of Britain’s Youngest Warrior BY RACHEL MORRIS As Hitler’s tanks roll into Poland on September 1, 1939, Europe’s worst fears are confi rmed: war becomes inevitable. A thousand miles away, a young man celebrates his fi rst solo fl ight in a de Havilland Tiger Moth, heading to a quiet English country pub with friends to enjoy a pint of beer. As his training continues, the mighty German Blitzkrieg sweeps across the continent. Soon he will earn his coveted Royal Air Force pilot wings in time to join the most epic aerial battle of history: defending the green fi elds of his homeland from the Luftwaff e foe determined to clear the path for invasion. Interviewed in London’s RAF Club in 2012, Geoff rey Wellum recounted his experiences as the youngest pilot to fl y and fi ght during the Battle of Britain. 22 fl ightjournal.com 2 Never Stay Still.indd 22 7/16/13 2:52 PM Spitfi re Mk I P9374 comes in to land at Duxford, England on a fall evening.
