24.01.2022 Remembrance Day 2020 ... place a virtual poppy on the Australian War Memorial's interactive wall

24.01.2022 On this day, 28th October 1916, Australia's first referendum on conscription fails. William Morris 'Billy' Hughes was Australia's seventh Prime Minister. Born i...n London on 25 September 1862, he migrated to Australia in 1884. After many years of wandering from job to job, he established a mixed business which sold, among other things, political pamphlets. As a result, his shop came popular with young reformers, and listening to their discussions piqued Hughes's interest in politics. In 1894, he won preselection for the seat of Lang, allowing his debut into state parliament. Although initially opposed to Federation, Hughes saw the advantages Federation offered for his particular areas of interest, those being defence, immigration and industrial relations. He won the federal seat of West Sydney in 1901, and held it until 1916, being an eloquent speaker and shrewd tactician. During the opening years of World War I, Hughes, as attorney-general, was active in his ministry. When Prime minister Andrew Fisher resigned due to ill health in 1915, Hughes was chosen to succeed him. One of the most controversial of Hughes's policies was conscription, an issue which not only created a rift in the Labor Party, but divided the young nation as well. On 28 October 1916, the first referendum to introduce compulsory military enlistment was voted on, and narrowly defeated. Two weeks later, on 13 November, the Labor Party expelled Hughes over his support for conscription. However, just a few days earlier Hughes had formed the Nationalist Party which incorporated both expelled Labor Party members and members of the opposition. Hughes formed a new cabinet and remained as Prime Minister, a position he retained until 1923. https://www.awm.gov.au/.../exhi.../anzac-voices/conscription Pictured: Men of the 10th Light Horse Regiment at Hod Willegha, Sinai, October 1916. The majority of soldiers voted Yes in both referendums. They saw it as a way to make others do their bit, to help fill the holes left by casualties, or provide them with the opportunity of a break.

14.01.2022 11th November 1918 - Today is Remembrance Day, marking the end of World War 1, in 1918. The first World War began in August 1914 and lasted for four years. At 5...am on the morning of 11 November 1918, Germany, lacking manpower, weaponry and supplies, and facing imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the Allies. This marked the end of World War 1, also known as the Great War. November 11 has come to be known as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day. Traditionally, British, Canadian, South African, Australian and New Zealand citizens observe the day with two minutes' silence at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, which is the time that the armistice became effective. The red poppy has come to be recognised as the symbol for Remembrance Day. It was chosen because of the poppies that bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders, an area in western Europe now spanned by Belgium, France and the Netherlands. Pictured: 1. An unidentified cinematographer capturing the last shots to be fired before the armistice on 11 November 1918. Note the line of bare trees under which the guns are placed. Australian War Memorial. 2. Sydney, NSW. 1918-11-11. Crowd in Martin Place celebrating the news of the signing of the armistice. This date was celebrated in later years as Remembrance Day. Australian War Memorial. 3.

01.01.2022 Love this video from Ancestry. When you're a kid, you think your parents know everything, but how much do they really know about their own story? We asked the kids from the Bronte Nippers where they thought their parents were from and then we asked their parents the same question.
