  • The Unknown Cenotaph
    The unknown cenotaph: Private origins of a public monument Dr David Faber 2015 1 Table of contents I. Preface II. Illustrations III. Remembrance of things past IV. Australian Nativism & the Dardanelles cenotaph V. The Outbreak of the Great War & The Advertiser VI. SA Nativism & the Australian Wattle Day League VII. Walter Torode Master Builder VIII. `A plan so patriotic’ IX. `It is sweet and seemly to die for one’s country’ 2 I Preface This publication has like most of my work had a long gestation. As a freelance historian for much of my career, no institutional obligation has obliged me to be one of the publish or perish brigade, who are rushed into print only to repent at leisure. My engagement with the Anzac legend began in infancy when a favourite Liberal voting uncle handed me a venerable comic strip apology for the Gallipoli landing. It taught me that my people had been engaged in things larger than themselves. It was in effect my Iliad. This was in the 1960s, when Australia and indeed my relations were split by the War in Vietnam. My great grandparents had been Methodist opponents of the Boer War. My Labor voting grandmother and father opposed Australia’s involvement in Vietnam, and were very concerned for a conscripted cousin who did a tour of duty there. At the age of eight I wanted to march in the Moratorium demonstration in Burnie, Tasmania, using the credibility of my Cub Scout uniform. Dad talked me out of it, fearing political surveillance and damage to my future job prospects; as Lenny Bruce said around then, if you’re not paranoid, you’re not paying attention.

    Article No. 7087 Available on www.roymorgan.com Link to Roy Morgan Profiles Monday, 12 December 2016 Australian Community Newspaper Readership results Readership of Community Newspapers in all mainland capital cities has declined, but many titles are bucking the trend and finding new local readers, the latest Roy Morgan Community Newspaper Readership results for the 24 months to September 2016 show. In Sydney, the St George & Sutherland Shire Leader extended its lead as the most-read community paper, with 220,000 readers per average issue (up 15.8% compared with the period to September E 2015). Other titles with growing readership include the Bankstown-Canterbury Torch (up 8.2% to 92,000), the Penrith Press (up 21.0% to 75,000), Northern District Times (up 11.3% to 69,000), and the Mosman Daily (up 5.8% to 55,000). Two other mastheads continue to reach over 100,000 locals per average edition—across multiple editions each week. The Wednesday and Friday issues of the Central Coast’s Express Advocate now average 141,000 readers (down 6.0%), while the Manly Daily finds 128,000 readers on Saturdays (down 5.2%) and 103,000 for its average Tuesday to Friday edition (down 6.4%). In Melbourne, seven of News Corp’s Leader publications ceased publication in June—but was it perhaps premature for some? Before it closed, the Melton Leader was Melbourne‘s fastest growing Community title (up 47.8% to 34,000). Leader editions in Wyndham and Bayside were also gaining readers on the way to the finish line—although less than their direct local competitors, the Brimbank & Northwest Star Weekly (up 33.3% to 36,000) and Wyndham Star Weekly (up 19.0% to 50,000) from Star News Group and Metro Media Publishing.
