AHP-147- The Hornet Bank and Cullin-la-Ringo Massacres

Vera Deakin is one of those great women in Australian History that you have probably never heard of. However, if your family has roots that go back to WWI she may have had a significant impact on your life. Vera Deakin was the daughter of Alfred Deakin and his wife Elizabeth. She is known for her long involvement with the Australian Red Cross of over 60 years and establishing the the Australian Wounded and Missing Enquiry Bureau to trace missing and killed soldiers, bringing comfort to their families. My main source for this episode is Carole Woods' excellent book 'Vera Deakin and the Red Cross'.  You can get a copy at: <a href= "https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/bookshop/">https://www.historyvictoria.org.au/bookshop/</a> Email me at <a href= "mailto:jamesdampier.awp@gmail">jamesdampier.awp@gmail.com </a>

We wrap up our four part series on the Australia First Movement. There's one final inquiry, led by Justice Clyne, to investigate the internments. We look at what happened to some of the key people after the War and ask what to make of it all?   Finally, it's ANZAC Day, the day Australians and New Zealanders commemorate those who have served in war.

AHP-145-The Australia First Movement, Part 4 and ANZAC Day

Following the internments of Australia First members, there is disquiet about why, in a democracy, people could be detained without trial. Some appeal against their internment. The Government establishes a number of inquiries and most internees are released over 1942. Except, that is, for Percy Stephensen and a few others. Remember, you can always email me at <a href= "mailto:jamesdampier.awp@gmail.com">jamesdampier.awp@gmail.com</a>
