LEST WE FORGET WESTERN AUSTRALIAN WAR MEMORIALS WESTERN AUSTRALIAN WWII ROLL OF HONOUR The World War II Roll of Honour for Men and Women who enlisted from Western Australia is shown on the Undercroft of the WA State War Memorial in Kings Park, Perth. The names are shown by Service and then in alphabetical order on a series of Plaques that were unveiled on Sunday 6 November 1955. This document shows those names combined and arranged by the local Roll of Honour provided on the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) WWII Nominal Roll, or where no Roll is given, by place of Birth. This document also shows the Indigenous Roll of Honour, the Merchant Navy Roll of Honour and the Roll of Honour for Airmen from Western Australia who died while in Service with Commonwealth Air Forces. In addition, this document shows the list of Service Members who are shown on the WA Memorial, but who do not qualify for the National Roll of Honour maintained by the Australian War Memorial (AWM). This document can be searched by text and is bookmarked for ease of navigation. Further biographical and Service information for each Service Member may be found on the National Archives of Australia, the AWM, the Commonwealth Graves Commission, and the DVA Websites.

Abstract Victorian Egyptology and the Making of a Colonial Field Science, 1850-1906 Meira Gold This dissertation provides a new account of the origins of archaeological fieldwork in the Nile Delta. It considers how practitioners from diverse disciplinary backgrounds circulated knowledge about the built environment of pharaonic ruins: monuments, architecture, burials, and soil mounds that remained in situ. I trace the development of Egyptology from an activity that could be practiced long-distance through a network of informants to one that required first-hand field experience.

The Crown & Kangaroo Victorian Colonial Flags
The Crown & Kangaroo Victorian Colonial Flags. Copyright © John Rogers 2012 After separating from New South Wales in 1851, the Colony of Victoria lacked a distinctive flag to indicate that its vessels belonged to a the colony of Victoria. It has previously been believed that this state of affairs continued until 1870 when a Victorian flag was available for flying from the colony’s vessels. The research detailed below indicates that two types of official Victorian flags were in use prior to 1870. It would appear that history had simply forgotten about them. Inauguration of the Victorian Flags in 1870 On the 9th of February 1870 Her Majesty’s Victorian Ship (HMVS) Nelson and the reformatory Ship, Sir Harry Smith fired a 21 gun salute. The occasion was the unfurling of the new blue Victorian Government flag and new red Victorian Merchant flag on board the ex-Line-of-Battleship HMVS Nelson . Described by The Argus 1 newspaper as an event of some importance, the Naval & Military Gazette 2 pointed out that the new (government) flag was “adopted at the suggestion of the Admiralty to distinguish the vessels of the Victorian Navy”. This 1870 Victorian flag was very similar to the current Australian flag. Naturally, being prior to federation, the 1870 flag did not include the federation star and unlike the current Australian flag, the stars of the Southern Cross on the Victorian flag had, and still have, five, six, seven, eight and nine points. The 1870 flag soon evolved into the 1877 flag when the size of the Southern Cross was reduced and an imperial crown added above it.

Naturalists and scholars with Egyptological knowledge fashioned themselves as authorities to contend with this divisive topic. In a characteristic case of long-distance fieldwork, British geologist Leonard Horner employed Turkish-born, English-educated, Cairo-based engineer Joseph Hekekyan to measure Nile silt deposits around pharaonic monuments in Egypt to address the chronological gap between the earliest historical and latest geological time. Their conclusion in 1858 that humans had existed in Egypt for exactly 13,371 years was the earliest attempt to apply geological stratigraphy to absolute human dates. The geochronology was particularly threatening to biblical orthodoxy, and the work raised private and public concerns about chronological expertise and methodology, scriptural and scientific authority, and the credibility of Egyptian informants. This essay traces these geo-archaeological investigations; including the movement of paper records, Hekekyan’s role as a go-between, and the publication’s reception in Britain. The diverse reactions to the Egyptian research reveal competing ways of knowing the prehistoric past and highlights mid-Victorian attempts to reshape the porous boundaries between scholarly studies of human antiquity.

The Panter Orrs
THE PANTER ORRS . WILLIAM HENRY PANTER To quote from the “ Laindon and District Community Archive “ “ William Henry Panter was born at the Rectory , Laindon in 1841 . His father Frederick Downes Panter was a cleric in holy orders , and later became Rector of Thetford , Norfolk . William joined the Navy in 1855 at the age of 14 . He immediately went out to China with Admiral Keppel and served throughout the whole of the China war . He was a courageous man , or should we say boy , being involved in three engagements and in two boarding parties ; resulting in him being mentioned in dispatches and resulting in him receiving the China medal and two clasps . By the age of twenty , following several skirmishes he was appointed acting navigating sub–lieutenant by Admiral Sir James Hope . He was then given the command of a gun boat, and on the vessel being paid off , he was complemented by senior Naval Officers at Hong Kong for having brought home the vessel safely through one of the worst Typhoons ever known at the time . Only one out of the crew of thirty managed to get back with him . ( another source says that he returned with only 5 of the crew – the others being “ disabled “ by the terrible conditions . This sounds far less drastic – I had imagined terrible thoughts to explain how only 1 out of 30 crew made it back , as the Laindon archive report unbelievably suggested ) . In England he was appointed navigating sub–lieutenant of the Marlborough flagship in the Mediterranean , under Admiral Sir Robert Smart . Very shortly afterwards he was given command of a three gun , gun boat .
