The sessions will be held in the Memorial's galleries. They will both survey the nature of the Australian experience of war in the twentieth century and provide opportunities for questions and discussion of the interpretations offered through the television series. The first episode will be broadcast on the evening of 25 April and the first session will be held from 7-9 p.m. on Thursday 26 April. Refreshments will be provided. Articles deal fully and frankly with both the distressing and the lighter sides of war.
Every issue delivers the stories of courage and survival of both service personnel and civilians.
Concert featuring James Blundell, Gina Jeffreys, Doc Neeson and the Band of the Royal Military College, Duntroon, attracted 7,000 people. The Director of the Australian War Memorial, Steve Gower, said the success of Open Day Open Night was due to the hard work of staff and the many volunteer groups and performers who contributed to the day. Open Day Open Night was staged jointly by the Australian War Memorial and the National Capital Authority. On Tuesday 23rd January, after a long journey by road, a Lockheed Hudson bomber, which flew in Australia and Papua New Guinea during the Second World War, was delivered to the Memorial. The Memorial's Hudson, A16-105, saw front line action as well as serving as a trainer.
