Cooroy-Noosa Genealogical & Historical Research Group Inc.
17 Emerald St Cooroy
Anzac Day is a special day of commemoration for all of us, and Neil Dearberg, Chief Historian for the Desert Anzacs and President of the Military History Society of Queensland, will be our guest speaker this year.
On Saturday, April 15, at 1 p.m., Neil will present "The Anzacs that Saved the British Empire" at the Heritage Centre, 17 Emerald St. Cooroy.
Neil will discuss the Sinai Palestine Campaign, 1916–1918, and how the Anzacs, as part of the British led Egyptian Expeditionary Force, ensured the success of this little spoken or written about part of WWI. He will explain how that happened and focus on some of the major figures who played such a vital part in our military and national history.
