Greg Male; Bob McDonald, CEO VicTrak; Terry Mulder, State Transport Minister; Michael VicTrak is working with Hutchies and Consolidated Stojkovic, Hutchies’ Victorian manager; and David Sinclair, Consolidated Properties. Properties on the project which comprises 116 apart- ments, nine strata-titled office suites and 1,000 square metres of retail space. State Minister for Transport, Terry Mulder, attended the sod turning ceremony in June, with the $35 million project due for comple- tion late next year. Hutchies value-added to the project by working with the development team in the design phase to reduce building costs. This aspect of the project included engi- neering of the substructure to accommodate future railway tunnelling. Construction challenges include constrained access to the site, with footpaths, roads, train station and bus interchange creating high levels of pedestrian traffic. There is also an adjacent live rail corridor. The project team is led by Izad Samsudin, senior project manager, and includes Sam Gallagher, contract administrator, Kate Slat- tery, junior contracts administrator, Cameron Artist’s impression of Ikon apartments, being built by Hutchies adjacent to the Glen Waverley Madden, site manager, and Harry Kotsinadelis, railway station in east Melbourne. structures foreman.

  • Your Virtual Visit
    YOUR VIRTUAL VISIT - 61 TO THE AUSTRALIAN ARMY MUSEUM OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA Throughout 2021, the Virtual Visit series will be continuing to present interesting features from the collection and their background stories. The Australian Army Museum of Western Australia is now open four days per week, Wednesday through Friday plus Sunday. Current COVID19 protocols including contact tracing will apply. Battle of the Somme - 1 July 1916 The first day of fighting of the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916 was the costliest in British military history. Of 57,470 casualties, there were 19,240 killed. The Battle continued for 141 days resulting in an estimated 420,000 British casualties, 200,000 French and 500,000 German. The Somme, like Verdun for the French, has assumed a prominent place in the popular memory of British military history. For many, it has come to represent the loss and apparent futility of the War and war. The reality of almost 20,000 deaths on one day, in one coordinated assault is difficult to imagine. If however, 20,000 soldiers were to march in single file from Blackboy Hill Camp to the Western Australian State War Memorial, the first digger would be arriving at the Memorial before the last stepped off from Blackboy Hill. The Australian experience of the Battle of the Somme is best encapsulated by the portion designated the Battle of Pozières (23 July – 3 September 1916). The costly fighting of that segment ended with British possession of the plateau north and east of Pozieres, in a position to menace the German bastion of Thiepval.

McCLOY THE NEGRO IN FRANCE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY PRESS Copyright© 1961 by the University of Kentucky Press Printed in the United States of America by the Division of Printing, University of Kentucky Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-6554 FOREWORD THE PURPOSE of this study is to present a history of the Negro who has come to France, the reasons for his coming, the record of his stay, and the reactions of the French to his presence. It is not a study of the Negro in the French colonies or of colonial conditions, for that is a different story. Occasion­ ally, however, reference to colonial happenings is brought in as necessary to set forth the background. The author has tried assiduously to restrict his attention to those of whose Negroid blood he could be certain, but whenever the distinction has been significant, he has considered as mulattoes all those having any mixture of Negro and white blood.

  • What's in a Number
    What’s In A Number? The Personal Numbering System of the Australian Army by 2151240i The first thing a soldier generally learns, on the very first day of enlistment, is his or her personal number. Those readers with Army service (probably Navy and Air Force as well) will surely remember their first day of service as they, and everyone else around them, spent the day mumbling a string of digits to themselves as they strove to commit that magic number to memory. And woes betide the individual if that number was NOT committed to permanent memory by the end of the day. Readers will doubtless recall the various dodges utilised by those with a less than perfect memory in an effort to avoid the wrath of their instructors. Numbers would be written inside sleeve cuffs, inside the crown of the bush hat, on the back of the wrist, on the palm of the hand. Having your brew mug in your hand when pounced on by a predatory corporal intent on catching you out in the commission of that most unpardonable of military sins, not being able to remember your number, was always a life saver. Since your number was required to be written on your mug in permanent marker, in nice big digits, the mug was always good for a quick desperate glance! Relevance of Service Numbers The question that can legitimately be asked, of course, is what is the relevance of service numbers to military historians? Well, first of all, the service number is one way of positively identifying a particular soldier when carrying out research.

PRELIMINARIES. ROM Arras southward the Western battle- front leaves the coalpits and sour fields F of the Artois and enters the pleasant region of Picardy. The great crook of the upper Somme and the tributary vale of the Ancre intersect a rolling tableland, dotted with little towns and furrowed by a hundred shallop chalk streams. Nowhere does the land rise higher than 500 feet, but a trivial swell—such is the nature of the landscape jxfay carry the eye for thirty miles. There are few detached farms, for it is a country of peasant cultivators who cluster in villages. Not a hedge breaks the long roll of eomlands, and till the higher ground is reached the lines of tall poplars flanking the great Roman highroads are the chief landmarks. At the lift of country between Somme and Ancre copses patch tlje slopes, and the BATTLE OF THE SOMME. sometimes a church spire is seen above the trees winds iron) some woodland hamlet* The Somme faithfully in a broad valley between chalk bluffs, •dogged by a canal—a curious river which strains, “ like; the Oxus, through matted rushy isles,” and is sometimes a lake and sometimes an expanse of swamp, The Ancre is such a stream as may be found in Wiltshire, with good trout in, its pools. On a hot midsummer day the slopes are ablaze with yellow mustard, red poppies and blue cornflowers ; and to one coming from the lush flats of Flanders, or the “ black country ” of the Pas dc Calais, or the dreary levels of Champagne, or the strange melancholy Verdun hills, this land wears a habitable and cheerful air, as if remote from the oppression of war.
