  • Australia's Second World War
    Interpreting the war: Australia’s Second World War art The Australian War Memorial’s original purpose was to commemorate the 60,000 Australians who had fought and died overseas during the First World War; however, by the time the building opened on Armistice Day, 1941, the nation was involved in another world war, with official war artists already appointed and, indeed, at work in the Middle East. Both a shrine and a museum, the Memorial aimed to give people a better understanding of war through the display of “relics” such as uniforms or military artefacts, official and private records, photographs, and the commissioned works of art. The success of the First World War art program, based on the British and Canadian war art schemes, made it an appropriate model for the Second World War scheme. The new program eventually expanded to 35 artists, including for the first time three women. The scheme was originally run by the Department of the Interior, but in 1941 control of the scheme, including the appointment of artists, was transferred to the Memorial. The key figures in managing and shaping the art scheme were all veterans of the First World War: all had experiences in collecting relics and records and had been closely involved in the Memorial’s development. The Memorial’s Art Committee had three members: Charles Bean (the Australian official war historian); General Sir Harry Chauvel (the Australian commander in Egypt and Palestine during the First World War); and Louis McCubbin (an artist, who was also director of the Art Gallery of South Australia).

  • The Web Publishing of the Notebooks and Diaries of CEW Bean
    Digital preservation: the problems and issues involved in publishing private records online: the web publishing of the notebooks and diaries of C.E.W. Bean Robyn van Dyk Senior Curator Published and Digitised Records Australian War Memorial [email protected] www.awm.gov.au Abstract: In 2003, the Australian War Memorial commenced a project to digitise the notebooks and diaries of C.E.W. Bean for preservation and with the intent to make the images publicly available via the website. The digitisation of the records was completed in 2004, but the project ground to a halt when the copyright of this material was examined more closely and the records were found be a complex mixture of copyright rather than Commonwealth copyright. For the Memorial, this project represents our first venture into publishing a large complex collection of private records online and also our pilot for publishing orphan works using s200AB of the Copyright Act. Digital preservation and web publishing The Australian War Memorial is an experienced leader in digitisation for preservation and access. The Memorial has a digital preservation program that has now been in place for over a decade. We have digitised over two million pages of archival records to preservation level and for some time pursued a program of publishing these documents on our website. This serves to preserve the original documents and decreases the amount of staff resources required to service public enquiries for the most commonly used items. Publication of such material on the web has had very positive stakeholder feedback and perhaps more importantly, has not attracted any contentious comments.

  • Monash and Chauvel
    Two Great Australians who helped bring WW1 to an end - Monash and Chauvel 1918 finally saw the end of four long years of War in Europe and the Middle East. It had cost hundreds of thousands of lives including 60,000 Australians. Two of the chief army generals that helped bring about the final outcome were Sir John Monash and Sir Harry Chauvel – both Australians. Monash’s brilliant strategies brought the final victory on the Western Front and Chauvel led five brigades of Light Horse troops to carry out Allenby’s breakthrough plan and end the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East. General Sir John Monash – GCMG, KCB Monash was born on June 27, 1865 in West Melbourne. His father had migrated from Prussia in 1854. The family was Jewish and had changed the spelling of their name from Monasch to Monash. After his father’s business suffered great loss, the family moved to Jerilderie in New South Wales. John attended school there and displayed a high intellect and an extraordinary talent for mathematics. His family returned to Melbourne where he attended Scotch College in Glenferrie and became equal dux of the school, excelling in mathematics, before going on to study engineering, arts and law at Melbourne University. He was not a good student in his first year, being distracted by the things of the world, bored in lectures and he preferred to study at the State Library himself and attend the theatre. He failed his first year but then put his mind to it and flew through with honours.

  • BE SUBSTANTIALLY GREAT in THY SELF: Getting to Know C.E.W. Bean; Barrister, Judge’S Associate, Moral Philosopher
    BE SUBSTANTIALLY GREAT IN THY SELF: Getting to Know C.E.W. Bean; Barrister, Judge’s Associate, Moral Philosopher by Geoff Lindsay S.C. “That general determination – to stand by one’s mate, and to see that he gets a fair deal whatever the cost to one’s self – means more to Australia than can yet be reckoned. It was the basis of our economy in two world wars and is probably its main basis in peace time. Whatever the results (and they are sometimes uncomfortable), may it long be the country’s code”. C E W Bean, On The Wool Track (Sydney, 1963 revised ed.), p 132. [Emphasis added]. “Dr Bean’s achievements as historian, scholar, author and journalist are so well known that they need not be retold today…. He took as his motto for life the words of Sir Thomas Browne: “Be substantially thyself and let the world be deceived in thee as they are in the lights of heaven’. His wholeness lay in being at all times himself…. He believed that what men needed most were enlarged opportunities for work and service and that their failures and their wongheadedness sprang, not from the devil in them, but from lack of opportunity to do and to know better. From this belief came his lifelong interest in education. What a great headmaster was lost when he turned first to the law and then to journalism…”. Angus McLachlan, a printed Address (Eulogy) distributed with the Order of Service for CEW Bean’s funeral held at St Andrew’s Cathedral, Sydney, on 2 September 1968, following his death at Concord Repatriation Hospital on 30 August 1968.

    INTERNATIONAL LAW IN AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC DEBATE 2003, 1965, 1916 Madelaine Sophie Chiam ORCID Identifier: orcid.org/0000-0002-1792-765X Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2017 Melbourne Law School University of Melbourne ABSTRACT This thesis challenges the view that international law gained a new profile during the 2003 debates over the Iraq War by arguing that the contemporary prominence of international law in public debate is not new. The perception that international law was widely-used in the 2003 public debates, and that it had been relatively absent from public debates before then, has not been the subject of extensive analysis. Scholarship investigating the role of international law in the public debates around the 2003 Iraq War has focussed on the impact of that debate on government decision-making, rather than on the speakers and forms of the debate itself. This thesis takes a different approach by examining both the people who used international legal language in public debate and how they used it through analysis of texts of the debates over Australia’s participation in the 2003 Iraq War, the Vietnam War and the First World War. The thesis argues that there are two primary forms in which speakers have articulated international legal arguments for and against war in public debates: international law as a bundled justification and international law as an autonomous justification. I use the term ‘bundled justifications’ to describe vocabulary that carried a collective of undifferentiated standards, such as those of law, morality, strategy, economics and ethics.

  • The Evolution of Australian Official War Histories David Horner
    7 The Evolution of Australian Official War Histories David Horner Robert O’Neill was the third of Australia’s six official war historians, and directly or indirectly had a major influence on at least four of the official history series — his own and the three succeeding official histories. When O’Neill was appointed official historian for the Korean War in 1969, Australia had already had two official historians — Charles Bean and Gavin Long. O’Neill would need to draw on the experiences of his two successors, but also make his own decisions about what was needed for this new history. The two previous official histories provided much guidance. The first official historian, Charles Bean, was general editor and principal author of the Official History of Australia in the War of 1914– 1918, published between 1921 and 1942 in 15 volumes. This official history set the benchmark for later Australian official histories. Bean believed that his history had at least six objectives. First, it was largely a memorial to the men who had served and died. Second, he needed to record in detail what the Australians had done, in the belief that no other nation would do so. Third, the narrative needed to provide sufficient evidence to sustain the arguments presented in it. Fourth, as the war had been ‘a plain trial of national character, it was necessary to show how the Australian citizen reacted to it’. This meant that Bean needed to bring to life the experiences of the men in the front line. 73 WAR, StrategY AND HISTORY Fifth, Bean hoped that his history might ‘furnish a fund of information from which military and other students, if they desired, could draw’.

  • Museums and History
    Understanding Museums: Australian museums and museology Des Griffin and Leon Paroissien (eds) Museums and history In the years following World War II, history in Australian schools, universities and museums generally continued a long-standing focus on the country’s British heritage and on Australia’s involvement in war. However, by the 1970s Australia’s history and cultural development had begun to take a more important place in literature, in school curricula, and in universities, where specialised courses were providing training for future historians and museum curators. The essays in this section recount the way museums in Australia have dealt with crucial issues of the formation of national memory and identity.

    LIONS LED BY DONKEYS? BRIGADE COMMANDERS OF THE AUSTRALIAN IMPERIAL FORCE, 1914-1918. ASHLEIGH BROWN A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy University of New South Wales, Canberra School of Humanities and Social Sciences March 2017 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Brown First name: Ashleigh Other name/s: Rebecca Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: MPhil School: Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty: UNSW Canberra, AD FA Title: Lions led by donkeys? Brigade commanders of the Australian Imperial Force, 1914-1918. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Australian First World War historiography tends to focus on the ordinary soldier: his background, character and involvement in the war. This is a legacy left by Charles Bean who, following the history from below approach, believed in the need for soldiers’ stories to be told. On the other end of the spectrum, attention is given to political leaders and the British high command. British commanders and, by extension, other Allied commanders are too often portrayed as poor leaders who were reluctant to adapt to modern warfare, and did not demonstrate a sense of responsibility for the men under their command. The evidence shows that this perception is not accurate. A comprehensive understanding of the progression of Australian forces on the Western Front cannot be gained without investigating the progression of those in command. This thesis examines the brigade commanders of the Australian Imperial Force who held that level of command for a substantial period while on the Western Front.
