23.01.2022 Edith Cavell was a British nurse in German-occupied Belgium during World War One. Originally from Norfolk in the East of England, Edith Cavell worked as a gover...ness in Belgium before returning to England to train to be a nurse. After working at various hospitals in London and Manchester, Nurse Cavell accepted the role of Matron in Belgiums first training hospital and school for nurses in Brussels. Nurse Cavell was visiting family in Norfolk when the First World War broke out in 1914 and felt that it was her duty to return immediately to her post in Brussels. The advancing German forces had occupied Brussels by the 20th August 1914 and the nursing school became a Red Cross Hospital which treated soldiers from both sides as well as civilians. Following the Battle of Mons in September 1914, Nurse Cavell was asked to treat two wounded British soldiers who had become trapped behind German lines. After treating the men in her hospital, she arranged for them to be smuggled to safety in neutral Netherlands. Over the following 11 months, she operated as part of an underground network which helped approximately 200 Belgian, British and French soldiers escape from German capture. Nurse Edith Cavell was arrested on 5th August 1915 and was one of 35 members involved with the network charged by court martial on the 7th October 1915. Nurse Cavell was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death by firing squad. The night before she was due to be executed, Nurse Cavell told a reverend that They have all been very kind to me here. But this I would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity: I realize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone. She was executed on 12th October 1915, aged just 49 years old. Prominent Melbourne woman Mrs Annie Robinson considered Nurse Cavell a modern Joan of Arc commenced campaigning for a local monument to be constructed within a month of her death. A total of 26,000 was raised by Victorians to fund the building of the memorial which was unveiled on Remembrance Day 1926. The Melbourne Nurse Edith Cavell Memorial consists of a marble bust of Nurse Cavell carved by renowned Melbourne sculptor Margaret Baskerville who also designed four cast-bronze panels which are located on the granite pedestal. Each of the bronze panels portray scenes from Nurse Cavells life including her arrest while tending to wounded soldiers and subsequent execution. Im glad that I visited this monument to a truly extraordinary woman and implore anyone visiting the nearby Shrine of Rembrance to do the same. #whereiremember

22.01.2022 The War Horses Memorial was unveiled by the Purple Cross Society in 1926 using funds raised by Light Horsemen from the Boer War. The memorial was originally loc...ated on St Kilda Road Melbourne and was relocated to its current location on Birdwood Avenue, close to the Shrine of Remembrance in 1987. Sir John Monash unveiled the granite horse trough as a tribute to the 958,000 horses and mules killed in World War One. #whereiremember

22.01.2022 "The biggest thing was coming back with mental health issues. It's one thing that scarred me for life. Professionals have told me I'll never be the same again, ...but I can improve and come up with coping mechanisms. Know your trigger points, live a healthy lifestyle and just find ways to make the best of what you've got." From paratrooper to paramedic Adam Kouzounian's, Life in Mildura, northwest Victoria, is a world away from the six life-changing months he spent deployed in East Timor as a Private with the Australian Army. It's something that he will never forget for the rest of his life and an experience that he is still coming to terms with.

18.01.2022 Today we remember the day that WWII came to Australian shores. On this day, 79 years ago, at least 243 lives were lost, with some sources claiming that number w...as even higher, when the bombing of Darwin by aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy began. For the past two decades, the Melbourne chapter of the Darwin Defenders' has held a ceremony at the Shrine of Remembrance to honour those who served and those who died in the attack. It is a moving ceremony that aims to remind Australians of the cost of preserving peace. Today RSL Victoria is proud to be partnering with The Shrine of Remembrance in commemorating Darwin Defenders Day. We invite the RSL Victoria community to commemorate and view the service online via the link provided: http://ow.ly/Pt8L50Dw6bQ. The service will begin live at 10 am. #wewillrememberthem

16.01.2022 Avoca is a small town located in the Pyranees shire of regional Victoria. The Avoca Soldiers Memorial was dedicated to the memory of the 137 men from the local ...area who served in the First World War including 29 who paid the ultimate sacrifice. A Local Soldiers Memorial Committee first started raising funds to build a memorial in 1918. The memorials octagonal design was selected in September 1921. The full cost of the memorial, 1800, and raised by public subscription. The roof of the memorial is supported by eight columns and features the main battlefields on which volunteers from Avoca served during the WWI, which were: Gallipoli, France, Palestine, and Belgium. Four sides of the rotunda feature low walls with a soldiers helmet and pack in relief. Freestanding granite slabs are inscribed with the names of display the names of Avoca men who served in the two World Wars. One of the names etched in granite is that of Lieutenant James Sutherland Beavis MC who served with the 39th Infantry Battalion on the Western Front in WWI. Mr. Beavis enlisted in Ararat on the 27th March 1916 and departed for war just two months later on the HMAT Ascanius. Below is a description of the events on the 3rd December 1917 for which Lieutenant Beavis was awarded the Military Cross: For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a raid on the enemy, he was leader of the flank storming party and led his men with splendid dash and excellent judgement. He was the first to enter the enemy trench and did not leave until the last of his party had withdrawn. On several occasions, he rendered invaluable service in reconnoitring the ground in front of the enemy line, and supplied information which materially assisted in the success of the whole operation. Lieutenant Beavis was wounded three times and died of wounds in France on the 13th July 1918. #whereiremember

16.01.2022 Not far from the Shrine of Remembrance, the ex-servicewomen’s memorial garden was created to pay tribute to the seventy thousand women who have served in every ...war and peace-keeping operation that Australia has been involved with since the Boer War. Designed by landscape architect Katherine Rekaris in 2010, the memorial features beds of wildflowers which form abstract swirls around a central bluestone cairn. Arranged in a grid pattern within the garden bets are 350 concrete violets with each flower representing 200 servicewomen. Violets have long been used as a symbol of fallen heroes of war. The current stone cairn was the centre point of the original ex-servicewomen’s memorial in Kings Park which was unveiled by New Zealand-born French Resistance figure Nancy Wake. South African jacarandas representing the Boar War carpet the memorial garden and its surrounds with a glorious ticker tape parade, honouring them every year at the time of their service. (Rekaris, 2012). #whereiremember

14.01.2022 The Vietnam War was Australias longest military engagement of the 20th Century. The arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam in South Vietnam during July and August 1962 marked the start of Australias involvement in the war.... By the time the war had come to an end, almost 60,000 Australians served during a decade of conflict between 1962 and 1972. Tragically, 521 of them died and 3000 were wounded. On Vietnam Veterans Day, we pause and reflect on the bravery, teamwork and endurance that Australians displayed throughout the war. Its a day when we recognise all who served in Vietnam. We honour those veterans who: lost their lives during battle returned home wounded, ill or injured lost their lives in the years since they returned still carry the physical and emotional scars of their service We also pause to reflect on the impact of service on our veterans families. #traralgonrsl #rslvic #letsweforgot

09.01.2022 When many of our service personnel return from their duties, not many identify that there are a number of veteran support services available via the RSL to ease... them back into civilian life. One of the core services that we provide is that is important for a number of veterans is veteran advocacy. Most of us understand advocacy to be a process of seeking public support for or recommendation of a cause or policy. But inside the RSL advocacy means something else. In the RSL context, advocacy means providing support to veterans who are seeking entitlements, based on their service, from the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA). Navigating the DVA claims process can be confusing, time-consuming and stressful, and at RSL Victoria, we often hear that veterans feel a sense of helplessness when it comes to the pursuing a claim through the DVA on their own. RSL Victorias advocacy support team exists to help veterans navigate the claims process. Our advocates are passionate and dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for Victorias veteran community. In 2019, saw advocacy at RSL Victoria reach new heights and the ability of the organisation to extend its reach in getting veterans from all over Victoria the support they need and deserve. Read our 2019 Annual Report article to get a real insight to what advocacy truly is and lengths our advocates go to at RSL Victoria to ensure that no veteran is left behind: https://bit.ly/3lh5VzH

07.01.2022 The Boer War Monument sits opposite Victoria Barracks on St Kilda Road Melbourne. Consisting of a sandstone structure with a bluestone base, the monument was fu...nded by the Victorian Mounted Rifles Regiment with construction completed in 1903. Three bronze plaques list the names of the Victorians killed during the war. Victorians served in mounted units and as a result farriers, mounted soldiers and shoeing smiths are among the listed casualties. The Boer War, South African Wars of 1880-81 and 1899-1902, were fought between the British Empire and descendants of the Dutch settlers (Boers). Australian forces were originally committed from the six separate British self-governing colonies of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia and as Australian Commonwealth forces after federation in January 1901. At least 12,000 Australians served in the Boar War with moire than 600 killed including 265 from Victoria. #whereiremember

02.01.2022 On Saturday, in a historic first, we were proud to host the 105th Annual Conference of the RSL in Victoria online. Usually held in late June, this year’s RSL V...ictoria Annual Conference was moved to the later date of November 28 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Registered Sub-Branch Delegates participated in the conference via Zoom and all Victorian RSL Life and Service members were given the opportunity to observe the conference through a live stream on YouTube. Congratulations to Dr Robert Webster OAM, who was re-elected by the members for a third term as State President. We also congratulate David Martin from the Rutherglen RSL Sub Branch Inc. who was re-elected to the State Executive (our board) and to Simon Thorn from Greensborough RSL Sub-Branch, Ange Kenos from Essendon RSL Sub-Branch, Andrew Hanns from Geelong RSL Sub-Branch and Glen Ferrarotto from the Montmorency Eltham RSL Sub-Branch who were also elected. Half of the RSL Victoria State Executive are now veterans who have served in the Australian Defence Force after the Vietnam War and for the first time we have 3 members who saw operational service in Afghanistan, Iraq and East Timor. It is great to see that the State Executive has representation from the across the breadth of our membership. We'd like to thank all RSL Sub-Branch delegates for their participation and patience, and the members who observed the conference for their 'attendance' during this online first. We hope 2021 will see the return of the traditional Annual Conference for all to attend in person.
