Kew Historical Society. Annual Dickinson Lecture;

Remembering Our State School Teachers and Pupils of Kew and Surrounds: The Home Front and Battle Front, 1914-18 presented by Dr Rosalie Triolo

The Great War profoundly touched the lives of Australian teachers, school children and local
communities. Many teachers fought and died, and were joined by their older students. For years after, the names of those who fell were respectfully displayed on school honor boards, in honor books and remembered by other commemorative means, including through the introduction of Anzac Day.

Dr Rosalie Triolo will explore how teachers and school communities were affected by patriotic appeals and activities, and how they responded to
the long years of grim news from Gallipoli, the Western Front and other sites of training, fighting and convalescence.
