Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mid 1700’s to the early 1900’s there was a mass exodus of people from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. During the reign of Queen Victoria, from 1837 to 1901, around fifteen million people emigrated to America, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. The reasons they left the country of their birth were many and varied. There was high unemployment in the working classes due to the Industrial Revolution, the Agricultural Revolution, the Enclosure Movement and the Land Clearances. The potato famines in Ireland and Scotland caused starvation and death, prompting a mass exodus from those areas. This story follows the lives of three families who immigrated to South Australia in the 1850’s. Each family originated in different parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and travelled separately to South Australia, spanning a four-year period, unaware that their future lives would be forever joined. The Speck families, brick-makers from Cambridgeshire, sailed from Liverpool in October 1852, the Stacey family, willow-workers from Wiltshire, sailed from Southampton in January 1854 and the Murphy family, farmers from Kilkenny, sailed from Plymouth in November 1855. The journey, over the seas, was hazardous and life in the early years of South Australia took its toll on people as they tried to create better lives for themselves and their families in the new colony. By the end of 1888 the three families were joined into one extended family living in the mid-north of South Australia. More births, deaths and marriages followed as the families grew and were subjected to droughts, floods, a world war and an economic depression. All of these people left a memory legacy that should not be forgotten.

Download or read book The Empire Has An Answer written by Tony James Brady and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-06-05 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘If we do not win the battle of training, we shall win no other battle in the air.’ In 1943 the Royal Air Force recognised that training a vast amount of aircrew for a high attrition war was essential to an Allied victory, and that the key to winning the ‘battle of training’ was the Empire Air Training Scheme (EATS). 37,576 Australian aircrew graduated from the EATS. Over 300 were killed whilst training for war and 9874 aircrew were killed or listed as missing while on active duty. Those who fought under this scheme during World War II amounted to just 6.7 per cent of Australian service personnel serving overseas yet the aircrew losses amounted to almost 25 per cent of all the Australian fatalities during the war. This made serving in EATS among the most hazardous duties of the war. The Empire has an Answer was researched using more than 35 000 articles, from 150 metropolitan, regional, and district newspapers, and what materialised was a story of one of, if not, the greatest training programs the world has seen. Follow the journey from the conception and implementation of the scheme, through recruitment and basic training, flight training, and then into combat. The individual accounts woven into the narrative provide a first-hand experience of the triumphs and trials of typical airmen and airwomen who performed extraordinary feats in a time of great need. The significant achievements and success of the Empire Air Training Scheme has for the most part been overlooked in our history, until now.

Download or read book Memory Place and Aboriginal Settler History written by Skye Krichauff and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the absence of Aboriginal people in South Australian settler descendants’ historical consciousness as a starting point, 'Memory, Place and Aboriginal–Settler History' combines the methodologies and theories of historical enquiry, anthropology and memory studies to investigate the multitudinous and intertwined ways the colonial past is known, represented and made sense of by current generations. Informed by interviews and fieldwork conducted with settler and Aboriginal descendants, oral histories, site visits and personal experience, Skye Krichauff closely examines the diverse but interconnected processes through which the past is understood and narrated. 'Memory, Place and Aboriginal–Settler History' demonstrates how it is possible to unsettle settler descendants’ consciousness of the colonial past in ways that enable a tentative connection with Aboriginal people and their experiences.
