  • The Australian Red Cross in the Second World War
    Embedded: The Australian Red Cross in the Second World War Jonathan A. Spear Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2007 Department of History The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis will demonstrate that the Australian Red Cross was embedded with the Australian government, military and civilian ‘home front’ during the Second World War. The legal basis, structure, leadership and administration of the Society were closely integrated with the official war effort of the Australian government and military. The Red Cross societies of other combatant nations were similarly organised to contribute to the logistical firepower of their respective governments and militaries. The Second World War revitalised the Australian Red Cross and caused the Society to forge even stronger links with the Australian government. The Society was integrated as a paramilitary branch of the Australian military forces and provided logistical support to the military in Australia and overseas by means of its Field Force. The pervasive presence of the Red Cross resulted in the embedding of the Society on the Australian civilian ‘home front’. The integration of the Australian Red Cross with the Australian government was for the purpose of supporting the war effort of the Allies in Australia and overseas. However, the active participation of national Red Cross societies in the war efforts of nation-states came at a cost to prisoners of war, Allied governments and the international Red Cross movement. The successful delivery of humanitarian relief to prisoners of war could only occur if the national governments involved recognised a reciprocal benefit in doing so.

But this new code, “Purple,” wasn't breaking. For eighteen months the team struggled with this difficult Japanese diplomatic code. Then, one day in September 1940, Genevieve Grotjan made a discovery that would change the course of history. By analyzing and studying the intercepted coded messages, she found a correlation that no one else had yet detected. This breakthrough enabled other cryptanalysts to find similar links.2 Shortly thereafter, SIS, along with the U.S. Navy, built a “Purple” analog machine to decode the Japanese diplomatic messages.
