The meeting starts with general business for a few minutes, followed by our short talk. This month Katherine Lucas, who volunteers at the Victoria Battery Tramway Society, will talk about the history of the site.
Our main speaker, Chris Archer, historian and author, “Recovering a New Zealand ANZAC legacy, the story of the New Zealand Mounted Rifles Brigade in Egypt and Palestine (1916-1919)”.
With the approach of Anzac Day this seems a good time to review this all but forgotten legacy.
