Dr Greg Russell JonesWhat an interesting presentation Dr Greg Russell Jones gave us last Tuesday night. The subject, “Are we getting enough vitamin B12”, does not sound all that exciting. However the information presented by Greg, was both interesting and informative. So much so that Greg went well over the allotted 20 minutes ( and I didn’t see one dropping head – a sure sign that he had captured and held the attention of every one in the room).He certainly enlightened us to the many health issues that can develop in people with a B12 deficiency and he encouraged those who might be at risk to take a simple blood test to determine their B12 levels.A number of members later commented that they have family who display possible signs of deficiency and the talk had provided them with valuable information.

TIM JAMESGuest Speaker - 29 April 2014

ANZAC THEME

Courage, Endurance, Mateship, Sacrifice - Tim James on the Kokoda Trail Tim James works for MP Anthony Roberts and walked the Kokoda Trail in July/August 2012. Tim was inspired by NSW Member of the Legislative Assembly Charlie Lynn who has walked the Kokoda Trail 64 times and leads an organisation that takes Australians on the journey to learn about the crucial battle ground that spared Australia from Japanese

invasion.

In an interview Tim said;“The Japanese saw it as their right and their destiny to win the Pacific and the Asian region and indeed they had made great advances. They saw their pathway to Australia as through Papua New Guinea. Therefore Kokoda became an essential theatre of war and one that meant so very much to the defence of Australia.”

“[Charlie] has always described it as a leadership laboratory that really brings out the very best in people,” Tim said. “It was on the back of Charlie’s recommendation that I thought yes I’m going to embrace this challenge, take myself out of my comfort zone and seek to walk the Kokoda trail.”

Tim, who admitted he wasn’t an “outdoorsy, hiking, camping kind of guy” conceded that Kokoda was a huge challenge, involving five months of intense fitness training. But his commitment to walking the trail paled into insignificance compared to the sacrifice that the Australian soldiers made there in 1942.“Those 3000 men saved our nation. They saved our way of life, our freedom, our democracy. Everything that we enjoy today perhaps would not be here but for their heroics and the courage and their sacrifice and their endurance,” Tim said.

According to Tim, the best way to describe the campaign and the experience of walking Kokoda Trail is through the four values inscribed on the of the memorials at Isurava, along the trail. Courage, Endurance, Mateship and Sacrifice.You can see a video he put together by copying the following link to your browser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlyUplhcQBc

Ode * (Delivered by Stephen Goldring)

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

The ANZAC SPIRIT:

Courage under fire, grace under pressure, giving a hand to a mate.

Rosemary

Since ancient times this aromatic herb has been believed to have properties to improve the memory. Perhaps because of this, rosemary became an emblem of both

fidelity and remembrance in literature and folklore.

Traditionally, sprigs of rosemary are worn on ANZAC Day and sometimes on Remembrance Day. Rosemary has particular significance for Australians, as it is

found growing wild on the Gallipoli peninsula.

*The “Ode of Remembrance” is an ode taken from Laurence Binyon’s poem, “For the Fallen”, which was first published in The Times in September 1914. The poet wrote For the Fallen, which has seven stanzas, while sitting on the cliffs between Pentire

Point and The Rumps in north Cornwall, UK. A stone plaque was erected at the spot in 2001 to commemorate the fact.

The plaque bears the inscription:

For the Fallen Composed on these cliffs 1914

The poem honoured the World War I British war dead of that time, and in particular the British Expeditionary Force, which by then already had high casualty rates on the

developing Western Front.

The poem was published when the Battle of the Marne was foremost in people’s minds. Over time, the third and fourth stanzas of the poem (although often just the

fourth) were claimed as a tribute to all casualties of war, regardless of state.

TributeThey will never know the beauty of this place

See the seasons change, enjoy natures chorus.All we enjoy we owe to them, men & women who lie buried in the earth of foreign

lands and in the seven seas.Tonight our Rotary Club Meeting is dedicated to the memory of ANZACS who died

overseas in the service of their country and so preserved our heritage.


EARLY COMMEMORATIONS OF ANZAC DAY

The 25th of April was officially named ANZAC Day in 1916.

It was marked by a wide variety of ceremonies and services in Australia, a march through London, and a sports day in the Australian camp in Egypt.

In London over 2,000 Australian and New Zealand troops marched through the streets. A London newspaper headline dubbed them “the knights of Gallipoli”.

Marches were held all over Australia; in the Sydney march, convoys of cars carried wounded soldiers from Gallipoli attended by nurses.

For the remaining years of the war, ANZAC Day was used as an occasion for patriotic rallies and recruiting campaigns, and parades of serving members of the AIF were

held in most cities.

During the 1920s ANZAC Day became established as a national day of commemoration for the 60,000 Australians who had died during the first world war.

In 1927, for the first time every state observed some form of public holiday on ANZAC Day. By the mid-1930s, all the rituals we now associate with the day – dawn vigils, marches, memorial services, reunions, two-up games – were firmly established as

part of ANZAC Day culture.

With the coming of the Second World War, ANZAC Day also served to commemorate the lives of Australians who died in that war. In subsequent years the meaning of the day has been further broadened to include Australians killed in all the military

operations in which Australia has been involved.

ANZAC Day was first commemorated at the Australian War Memorial in 1942. There were government orders prohibiting large public gatherings during WW11, so it was a

small occasion, with neither a march nor a memorial service.

Since then, ANZAC Day has been commemorated at the Australian War Memorial every year.


WHY IS THIS DAY SPECIAL TO AUSTRALIANS?

When war broke out in 1914, Australia had been a federal commonwealth for only 13 years.

The new national government was eager to establish its reputation among the nations of the world.

In 1915 Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula in order to open the Dardanelles to the allied

navies.

The ultimate objective was to capture Constantinople (now Istanbul in Turkey), the capital of the Ottoman Empire, an ally of Germany.

The Australian and New Zealand forces landed on Gallipoli on 25 April 1915, meeting fierce resistance from the Ottoman Turkish defenders. What had been planned as a bold stroke to knock Turkey out of the war quickly became a stalemate, and the

campaign dragged on for eight months.

At the end of 1915 the allied forces were evacuated, after both sides had suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships. Over 8,000 Australian soldiers had

been killed.

News of the landing on Gallipoli had made a profound impact on Australians at home, and 25 April soon became the day on which Australians remembered the sacrifice of

those who had died in the war.

Although the Gallipoli campaign failed in its military objectives, the Australian and New Zealand actions during the campaign left us all a powerful legacy. The creation of

what became known as the “ANZAC legend” became an important part of the identity of both nations, shaping the ways they viewed both their past and their future.


THE SEVENTH PATTERN RISING SUN BADGE 1991

The current design was produced with ‘The Australian Army’ on the scroll and the removal of the Federation Star and heraldic wreath.

The Rising Sun Badge was originally called the General Service Badge, but it is now officially labelled the Australian Army Badge. It will, however, always be referred to as

the Rising Sun Badge.

ROUSE (LAST POST)The Rouse is the call used in conjunction with the Last Post at commemorative

services such as ANZAC Day & Remembrance Day services, at dedication services and at military funerals. The Rouse is a shorter bugle call that was also used to call

soldiers to their duties.

After the one minute silence, the Rouse is sounded during which flags are raised from half mast to the masthead.

REVEILLEReveille, from the French word ‘reveillez’, meaning to ‘wake-up’, was originally played

as a drum beat just prior to daybreak.

Its purpose is to wake up the sleeping soldiers and to let the sentries know that they could cease challenging. It was also a signal to open the town gates and let out the

horse guard, allowing them to do a reconnaissance of the immediate area beyond the walls.

During the ANZAC Day Dawn Service the Last Post is sounded followed by a minute of silence. The silence is broken by the Reveille. Today, the Reveille is normally only performed on the various Dawn services or as the first call of the day in Barracks.

ABOUT ROTARYThe world’s first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois, USA, was formed on 23 February 1905 by Paul Harris.

Rotary is a worldwide organisation of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world. More than 1.2 million Rotarians belong to over 34,100 Clubs in 210 countries and geographical areas. Rotary Club membership represents a cross-section of the community’s business and professional men and women. The world’s Rotary Clubs meet weekly and are non-political, non-religious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.

The main objective of Rotary is service – in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today’s most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development.

The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
