His postings included Fleet Communication's Officer, OinC Signal's School, Director of Naval Communications, Deputy Director Joint Service Communications, and Defence Attache Paris and Berne. He co-authored the Report to Government recommending the AUSSAT communication's satellite. He is a French linguist. His interests include naval research and contributes to RUSI (Q). He lives in Queensland and the south of France. Harvey Broadbent Harvey Broadbent is presently Senior Research Fellow in Modern History at Macquarie University directing the ARC assisted Gallipoli Centenary Research Project in partnership with the Australian War Memorial. The research is centred on the Turkish military and other archives. He is presently writing the book emanating from the project, outlining in detail the Turkish defence at Gallipoli. He was born and raised in Manchester and graduated with Honours in Near Eastern Studies at the University of Manchester in 1974, where his major study was Turkish language, history and culture. He speaks Turkish fluently. He has lived in Turkey from time to time and visits the country professionally every year. He emigrated to Australia with his wife and three children in 1975 and holds a NSW Diploma in Education (1974) For 22 years he worked as a TV and radio producer for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation specialising in historical documentaries and continues to produce regular programs as a freelance producer. He published his second book, Gallipoli, The Fatal Shore in 2005, an illustrated account of the Gallipoli Campaign in the First World War. His first book, The Boys Who Came Home: Recollections of Gallipoli, based on his interviews with Gallipoli veterans in Australia, Britain and Turkey, was published in 1990 with a 2nd edition in 2000. Through parallel career interests in media and writing he combines long experience in television and radio production as a program-maker, writer for television, radio and print media and as an executive producer with research in Middle Eastern and Ottoman history and social history research, including authorship of the two military history books. Apart from being a specialist in Turkish history and the Gallipoli Campaign he has a strong interest in the multiple media representation of historical themes, events and ideas both through the media adaptation of pure research and utilization of techniques such as oral history and re-creation of historical contexts. A further focus of interest is the presentation of war in the media. Dr Tim Coyle Tim Coyle was an international arms control adviser to the Australian Government and an active naval reserve officer for over 20 years. In his naval role he worked in intelligence-related appointments, largely as an analyst. His civilian background includes over 20 years in the international airline industry and as an analyst in regional political-military affairs. Tim holds a BA (Hons) from the Australian National University and received his PhD from the University of New South Wales in March 2007.

Tim’s interests include Russian language, early 20th Century architecture and air and maritime history. Dr Rhys Crawley Rhys Crawley is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre at the Australian National University. He holds an honours degree in history from the University of Wollongong, and a PhD from the University of New South Wales (University College, Australian Defence Force Academy). In 2007 he was selected as an annual summer scholar at the Australian War Memorial. His first book, The Climax at Gallipoli (Oklahoma University Press, forthcoming, 2013) examines the plans, preparations, limitations and potential of the August offensive at Gallipoli. A summary of his early findings was published as ‘The myths of August at Gallipoli’, in Craig Stockings (ed.), Zombie Myths of Australian Military History (New South, 2010), and his work on logistics appeared as ‘Supplying the offensive: the role of allied logistics’, in Ashley Ekins (ed.), Gallipoli: A ridge too far (Exisle, 2013). He is currently editing the Gallipoli diary of Captain Orlo Williams, chief cypher officer, and working on elements of Australia’s security and intelligence history. Dr Norman Friedman An internationally known strategist and naval historian, Dr Friedman spent more than a decade at a major US think-tank, and another as consultant to the Secretary of the Navy. He has been concerned throughout his career with the ways policy and technology intersect, in fields as disparate as national missile defence and mobilisation policy. He has consulted for the US Navy and the US Department of Defense and for major corporations. His more than 35 books include an award- winning account of US Cold War strategy and histories of British and Commonwealth cruisers and destroyers. He contributes a monthly column on world naval developments to the US Naval Institute Proceedings, and writes articles for journals worldwide, and is responsible for a commercial data base of world missiles.

  • Part 4: Conclusions and Recommendations & Appendices
    Twentieth Century Naval Dockyards Devonport and Portsmouth: Characterisation Report PART FOUR CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The final focus of this report is to develop the local, national and international contexts of the two dockyards to highlight specific areas of future research. Future discussion of Devonport and Portsmouth as distinct designed landscapes would coherently organise the many strands identified in this report. The Museum of London Archaeology Portsmouth Harbour Hinterland Project carried out for Heritage England (2015) is a promising step in this direction. It is emphasised that this study is just a start. By delivering the aim and objectives, it has indicated areas of further fruitful research. Project aim: to characterise the development of the active naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth, and the facilities within the dockyard boundaries at their maximum extent during the twentieth century, through library, archival and field surveys, presented and analysed in a published report, with a database of documentary and building reports. This has been delivered through Parts 1-4 and Appendices 2-4. Project objectives 1 To provide an overview of the twentieth century development of English naval dockyards, related to historical precedent, national foreign policy and naval strategy. 2 To address the main chronological development phases to accommodate new types of vessels and technologies of the naval dockyards at Devonport and Portsmouth. 3 To identify the major twentieth century naval technological revolutions which affected British naval dockyards. 4 To relate the main chronological phases to topographic development of the yards and changing technological and strategic needs, and identify other significant factors. 5 To distinguish which buildings are typical of the twentieth century naval dockyards and/or of unique interest.

  • 'Something Is Wrong with Our Army…' Command, Leadership & Italian
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 14, ISSUE 1, FALL 2011 Studies ‘Something is wrong with our army…’ Command, Leadership & Italian Military Failure in the First Libyan Campaign, 1940-41. Dr. Craig Stockings There is no question that the First Libyan Campaign of 1940-41 was an Italian military disaster of the highest order. Within hours of Mussolini’s declaration of war British troops began launching a series of very successful raids by air, sea and land in the North African theatre. Despite such early setbacks a long-anticipated Italian invasion of Egypt began on 13 September 1940. After three days of ponderous and costly advance, elements of the Italian 10th Army halted 95 kilometres into Egyptian territory and dug into a series of fortified camps southwest of the small coastal village of Sidi Barrani. From 9-11 December, these camps were attacked by Western Desert Force (WDF) in the opening stages of Operation Compass – the British counter-offensive against the Italian invasion. Italian troops not killed or captured in the rout that followed began a desperate and disjointed withdrawal back over the Libyan border, with the British in pursuit. The next significant engagement of the campaign was at the port-village Bardia, 30 kilometres inside Libya, in the first week of 1941. There the Australian 6 Division, having recently replaced 4 Indian Division as the infantry component of WDF (now renamed 13 Corps), broke the Italian fortress and its 40,000 defenders with few casualties. The feat was repeated at the port of Tobruk, deeper into Libya, when another 27,000 Italian prisoners were taken.

  • SURVIVING the GREAT WAR Between 1916 and 1918, More Than
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48619-4 — Surviving the Great War Aaron Pegram Frontmatter More Information S URVIVING THE G REAT W AR AUSTRALIAN PRISONERS OF WAR ON THE WESTERN FRONT, 1916–18 Between 1916 and 1918, more than 3800 men of the Australian Imperial Force were taken prisoner by German forces fighting on the Western Front. Until now, their experiences have been largely overlooked. Australians captured in France and Belgium did not easily integrate into public narratives of Australia in the First World War and its emerging commemorative rituals. Captivity was a story of surrender and inaction, at odds with the Anzac legend and a triumphant national memory of fighting in France that tended to emphasise the Australian Imperial Force’s victories rather than its defeats. Those who had the misfortune of being captured on the Western Front endured a broad range of experiences in German captivity, yet all regarded survival as a personal triumph. Surviving the Great War is the first detailed analysis of the little-known story of Australians in German captivity in the First World War. By placing the hardships of prisoners of war in a broader social and military context, this book adds a new dimension to the national wartime experience and challenges popular representations of Australia’s involvement in the First World War. Aaron Pegram is a senior historian in the Military History Section at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-48619-4

  • 'The First Casualty When War Comes Is Truth'
    ‘The First Casualty When War Comes is Truth’ 54 ‘The First Casualty When War Comes is Truth’: Neglected Atrocity in First World War Australian Memory Emily Gallagher Fourth Year Undergraduate, University of Notre Dame ‘The first casualty when war comes is truth’1 Hiram W. Johnson It is assumed, at least in the West, that the glorification of war is a thing of the past. Even more widely accepted is the perception that modern veneration honours the dead without bias or prejudice. In fact, the rich tapestry of the ANZAC legend glorifies war and readily rejects its associated horrors, projecting constructions of heroism and virtue onto national memory. Exploring the popular perception that inhumane war practices are inherently non-Western, this paper assesses the persisting silence on the grotesque experiences of soldiers in war. An examination of the nature and use of chemical warfare in World War One (WWI) and historiographical analysis of Australian scholarship on WWI will form the foundation of case evidence. Additionally, the psychological analysis of ‘joyful killing’ will be discussed as a potential framework through which modern commemoration can expose past embellishments. Bruce Scates’ Return to Gallipoli considers death and the ‘narrowed’ nature of ANZAC war commemoration. He argues that commemorative services perform a conservative political purpose, 1 Attributed to Senator Hiram Johnson in 1917, this quote originates from Samuel Johnson in 1758. See Suzy Platt (ed.), Respectfully Quoted: a Dictionary of Quotations Requested from the Congressional Research service(Washington: Library of Congress, 1989), 360. 55 history in the making vol. 4 no. 1 where personal mourning is displaced with sentiments of patriotism and sacrifice.2 Pronouncing WWI the ‘great imaginative event’ of the century, Peter Hoffenberg argues that Australians have sought to comprehend the catastrophe of war through references to landscape.3 Certainly, the WWI cemeteries on the Western Front strongly support this venture.

  • Anzac Parade and Our Changing Narrative of Memory1
    Anzac Parade and our changing narrative of memory1 IAN A. DEHLSEN Abstract Australian historian Ken Inglis once called Canberra’s Anzac Parade ‘Australia’s Sacred Way’. A quasi-religious encapsulation of the military legends said to define our national character. Yet, it remains to be discussed how the memorials on Anzac Parade have been shaped by these powerful and pervasive narratives. Each memorial tells a complex story, not just about the conflicts themselves but also the moral qualities the design is meant to invoke. The Anzac Parade memorials chart the changing perceptions of Australia’s military experience through the permanence of bronze and stone. This article investigates how the evolving face of Anzac Parade reflects Australia’s shifting relationship with its military past, with a particular emphasis on how shifting social, political and aesthetic trends have influenced the memorials’ design and symbolism. It is evident that the guiding narratives of Anzac Parade have slowly changed over time. The once all-pervasive Anzac legends of Gallipoli have been complemented by multicultural, gender and other thematic narratives more attuned to contemporary values and perceptions of military service. [This memorial] fixes a fleeting incident in time into the permanence of bronze and stone. But this moment in our history—fifty years ago—is typical of many others recorded not in monuments, but in the memories of our fighting men told and retold … until they have passed into the folklore of our people and into the tradition of our countries.2 These were the words of New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister J.R. Marshall at the unveiling of the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial on Anzac Parade, Canberra, in the winter of 1968.

  • We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air
    We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly. The Australian Fleet Air Arm: A Comparative Operational Study. This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2016 Sharron Lee Spargo BA (Hons) Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis examines a small component of the Australian Navy, the Fleet Air Arm. Naval aviators have been contributing to Australian military history since 1914 but they remain relatively unheard of in the wider community and in some instances, in Australian military circles. Aviation within the maritime environment was, and remains, a versatile weapon in any modern navy but the struggle to initiate an aviation branch within the Royal Australian Navy was a protracted one. Finally coming into existence in 1947, the Australian Fleet Air Arm operated from the largest of all naval vessels in the post battle ship era; aircraft carriers. HMAS Albatross, Sydney, Vengeance and Melbourne carried, operated and fully maintained various fixed-wing aircraft and the naval personnel needed for operational deployments until 1982. These deployments included contributions to national and multinational combat, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. With the Australian government’s decision not to replace the last of the aging aircraft carriers, HMAS Melbourne, in 1982, the survival of the Australian Fleet Air Arm, and its highly trained personnel, was in grave doubt. This was a major turning point for Australian Naval Aviation; these versatile flyers and the maintenance and technical crews who supported them retrained on rotary aircraft, or helicopters, and adapted to flight operations utilising small compact ships.

  • Devonport Dockyard in the Twentieth Century
    PART TWO DEVONPORT DOCKYARD IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY 2.1 INTRODUCTION The dockyard at Devonport was known as Plymouth Dock until 1843, when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert announced the change on their visit to Devonport Dockyard. Devonport ‘Naval Base’ is the total RN area which includes both operational and accommodation areas. It comprises 650 acres, including accommodation for the shore base HMS Drake. From south to north, facing west over the River Tamar and the Hamoaze, it consists of the original South Yard and Morice Ordnance Yard, and Keyham North Yard, which was developed from the 1860s and further extended at the beginning of the twentieth century. Fig. 65. HMNB Devonport map. Royal Navy (2010). Devonport Naval Base Handbook. Plymouth: Plymouth HIVE/DE&S, p. 5. The original yard then became known as South Yard and the new yard as North Yard, linked by a tunnel and railway beneath Morice Ordnance Yard from c.1857. At its south end, the tunnel passed through the North Smithery, requiring the removal of a blast furnace. In 1963, the MoD linked Morice Yard and South Yard by a flyover; Morice Yard and North Yard were linked in 1964. Use of the dockyard railway tunnel ended in 1966 and a bus service was introduced. (Flyovers to Make Dockyard One Unit, 1962) Babcock International owns one third of the Naval Base, but does not maintain the HMS Drake accommodation area. Princess Yachts acquired the freehold of its premises in Devonport South Yard in 2011, but Babcock International maintains the remaining buildings in that yard.
