Doubtless you are aware Englaiid is now in the throes of her free trade policy, i.e., the open door. Prior to the war she was the receptacle for our enemies' goods and undesirables, thus allowing the latter to creep into every crevice of the Empire, to England's peril. To remove past anomalies "Champion" suggests reason- able protection and a closed door to our enemies, which would enable England to be a much larger manufacturer, with better working conditions and wages for her workers, who have so nobly responded to the Empire's call.

The Kiwi Auckland University College Magazine Volume XI August, 1916 Editorial ^ Editor: Mr. C. H. J. Wily. Sub-Editor: Mr. W. T. G. Airey. Business Manager: Mr. J. A. Kyd. Committee: Miss C. E. Hames and Mr. L. J. Comrie. Looking back over the past twenty months we cannot but be struck at the change that has come over the College. This change is none the less noticeable for the fact that it seems scarcely a definite alteration in any specific thing or things, but rather a feeling that we are not the same as we were a short time ago. We do not hesitate to ascribe this feeling—this atmosphere of change—to the war and its direct effect upon us. And when we think of the number of students who were with us a few months ago and who are now thousands of miles away taking part in the great world-struggle that is convulsing Europe, do we wonder that the College is not as it used to be ? In our actual numerical strength there has been little depreciation. Many have gone, it is true, but then many have flowed in to take their places. But it is the older men whom we have lost, and whom we miss—the men who used to lead our Committees and Executives, who were the moving spirits in our social gatherings; the men who, before several worthy gentlemen became enraged at the interruption of the soporific effect of their interminable droning, and frowned down the Capping-ceremony, were the life and soul of that jovial function—these are the men whose places cannot be filled in a term; no, nor in many terms, either. Yet we must not overlook the fact that the younger students have come to the front sur- prisingly well, and endeavoured with no small success to fill the vacant places. Nor have we, who are left behind, forgotten those who have answered the call, and flung themselves into that great mass of struggling humanity we term "The Front," to strike a blow for 3 honour and freedom against perfidy, violence, and insatiable greed—in other words, Prussian Militarism and German Kultur. We recognise that they have done much—have suffered and fore- gone much—that we whom they leave behind should be safe in our homes; that we should be able to go about our daily occupa- tions in comfort and security.

  • 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.

  • Centenary WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas
    First World War Centenary WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas www.1914.org WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas - Foreword Foreword The Prime Minister, Rt Hon David Cameron MP The centenary of the First World War will be a truly national moment – a time when we will remember a generation that sacrificed so much for us. Those brave men and boys were not all British. Millions of Australians, Indians, South Africans, Canadians and others joined up and fought with Britain, helping to secure the freedom we enjoy today. It is our duty to remember them all. That is why this programme to honour the overseas winners of the Victoria Cross is so important. Every single name on these plaques represents a story of gallantry, embodying the values of courage, loyalty and compassion that we still hold so dear. By putting these memorials on display in these heroes’ home countries, we are sending out a clear message: that their sacrifice – and their bravery – will never be forgotten. 2 WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas - Foreword Foreword FCO Senior Minister of State, Rt Hon Baroness Warsi I am delighted to be leading the commemorations of overseas Victoria Cross recipients from the First World War. It is important to remember this was a truly global war, one which pulled in people from every corner of the earth. Sacrifices were made not only by people in the United Kingdom but by many millions across the world: whether it was the large proportion of Australian men who volunteered to fight in a war far from home, the 1.2 million Indian troops who took part in the war, or the essential support which came from the islands of the West Indies.

  • ANZAC Day Speech – Morreau A
    ANZAC Day Speech – Morreau A. Headmaster, distinguished guests, Old Boys, fellow students, and friends of Auckland Grammar School: today we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings in 1915. Today we celebrate and remember the lives of the most revered members of our school - those that served and those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. ANZAC Day marks the landings on the morning of the 25th of April 1915 by 16,000 Australian and New Zealand men at ANZAC cove. The Gallipoli campaign was a move by the British and French High Commands that aimed to gain control of the Dardanelles, and eventually capture the capital of the Ottoman Empire – Constantinople. However, tragically, the Campaign was much more difficult than the High Command originally anticipated. In fact, after eight months bitter fighting, the Allied forces retreated back to Egypt having failed to secure the Peninsula. Over two and a half thousand young men had lost their lives. Despite the unsuccessful result of the move, something about ANZAC Day sticks in the hearts and minds of both Australians and New Zealander’s alike. Despite the bloodshed and sacrifice all along the Western Front, many New Zealanders remember Gallipoli as when we became a nation. The First World War had an unparalleled effect on New Zealand as a whole; for a country of one million at the time, over 100,000 young men fought for the Allies, and over 18,000 young men lost their lives over these four years. Throughout the course of the war, New Zealand, small though we were, distinguished herself.

    Living through History Worksheet - Lesson Two Copyright National Army Museum Te Mata Toa 1 He waka eke noa We are all in this together The New Zealand soldiers’ and nurses’ experience in Gallipoli in World War 1, and the birth of the ANZAC bond between Australia and New Zealand. History isn’t something that happens to someone else. Right now, you are living through an extraordinary event that is changing the New Zealand way of life: the COVID-19 pandemic. Future students might look back on this moment and ask: how did they feel? How did they make it through? We can ask the same questions about another generation of Kiwis who lived through extraordinary times: New Zealand men and women who went to the other side of the world to fight an enemy to our way of life – in World War 1 (1914-1918). Then, like now, a major global crisis forced everyday New Zealanders to reconsider the way that they were used to living. They didn’t know whether the future would be good or bad – but they put their hope in victory and went overseas to risk their lives for their country. For each of the activities below: - Read about the New Zealand experience at Gallipoli. - Reflect on how were these New Zealanders feeling. - Respond to the questions or instructions at the end of each activity. Share your answers with your classmates and teacher. We all have our own unique experiences, and we can all learn as much from each other as we can from our nation’s history.

  • Stand up the Real Anzac Lone Pine of Gallipoli Mike Wilcox and David Spencer
    Stand up the real Anzac Lone pine of Gallipoli Mike Wilcox and David Spencer Abstract The native pine of Gallipoli is Tìrrkish red pine (Pinus brutia). After Vorld 57ar I Sergeant Keith McDowell brought back a cone from the famous Lone Pine, from which four trees were later planted at war memorials in Victoria, Australia, in 1933-34- These are Pinusbrutiø. However, most ANZAC pine trees planted. in Australia and New Zealand,to commemorate men lost in the Gallipoli campaign, and in particular the Lone Pine Ridge, are Aleppo pine (pinus hatEensis) which does not grow naturally in Gallipoli but is found near the Mediterranean coast in Spain, France, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Syria, Tìrrkeg Libya, Tirnisia, Algeria and Morocco. The origin of these Phølepensisrrees is attributed ro a cone collected by an Australian soldier from the Tùrkish trenches offa tree branch, probably broughr in from a woodlot or hedgerow planted on the Gallipoli Peninsula. fwo of the most prominent ANZAC pines in New Zealand are radiara pine (pinus radiøtø)rand. one is a Canary pine (Pinus Island canarimsis). \(¡hilst there are several in Australia, the only authentic pinus brutiain New Zealand from the Gallipoli Lone Pine seems to be the one at the Paeroa Golf Course very likely derived from rhe cone Sergeanr McDowell brought back with him to Australia, and as such must rank as one of the most historic trees in the country. lntroduction brutia) and maquis scrub, and this area, scene of the tragic The First rüÍorld \Øar campaign in Gallipoli was one of Gallipoli campaign ofrül'orld \flar I, was declared a narional the darkest evenrs in New Zealand and Australian military park in 1973.

  • Avenues of Honour / Memorial Avenues / Lone Pine List
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, groves and Lone Pines – around Australia, in New Zealand and Turkey Update: An updated list follows. Bolded text is new: numbers rise. 6 Boer War avenues, 466 Honour Avenues (11 new, in Qld.); 103 Memorial Avenues (2 new, in NSW & Tas., with 7 in NZ); 289 WW2 or later war memorial non-avenue plantings (groves, etc: 21 new, in ACT, NSW, NT (for only its second record, yet) and Qld.); 179 Notable avenues (30 new, in ACT and Qld.), 129 Lone Pines, (8 new, with 113 in Australia & 16 in NZ). Victoria’s National Trust are entering all avenues on their NTA Significant Tree Register: a great move. Heritage Victoria are running a consultancy to audit that state’s avenues, liaise with Councils, identify key risks, develop an assessment tool for them, a priority list for state listing and action plan to conserve significant avenues. Bravo: a good precedent that other states and territories could be encouraged to emulate. Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) Australia, with a population of then just 3 million, had 415,000 citizens mobilised in military service over World War 1. Debates on conscription were divisive, nationally and locally. Australia would lose 60,000 soldiers to WW1 – a ratio of one in five to its population at the time. New Zealand’s 1914 population was 1 million. World War 1 saw 10% of its people, some 103,000 troops and nurses head overseas, many for the first time. Some 18,277 died in World War1 and another 41,317 (65,000: Mike Roche, pers.
