The document summarizes key events of the Gallipoli campaign during World War I. It describes the failed Allied plan to invade Turkey by landing troops at Gallipoli in April 1915. The troops landed at the wrong spot and faced ambushes from Turkish soldiers up the cliffs. Many soldiers died due to the difficult terrain and lack of supplies. On Anzac Day, we remember all the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in the Gallipoli campaign. Memorials have been built to honor those who served and died.
Henry VIII was born in 1491 in Greenwich, England to King Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. He lived a luxurious life as a prince until becoming heir to the English throne in 1502 when his older brother Arthur died. Over the course of his life, Henry VIII married six times - to Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr - and had three children who each became monarch; Mary I, Elizabeth I, and Edward VI. Henry VIII died alone in 1547 at the Royal Castle at the age of 55.
The Gallipoli Campaign took place from April 1915 to January 1916, when British and French forces launched an attack on the Gallipoli peninsula of the Ottoman Empire to capture Istanbul and secure a route to Russia. The campaign failed with heavy casualties on both sides and was considered a major victory for the Turks but a failure for the Allies. It had a significant impact in Turkey as a defining moment of national identity, while in Australia and New Zealand it marked the birth of their national consciousness and the anniversary is now commemorated as ANZAC Day.
Presentation re the State Library of South Australia's Centenary of ANZAC commemoration plans and some of the stories of soldiers that we have discovered in the course of the research.
The ANZAC stood for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who landed at Gallipoli in Turkey in 1915 during World War I in an attempt to take control of the Dardanelles strait from the Ottoman Empire. The Allied Forces were left exposed on the beaches as the Turkish Army controlled the hills. Many New Zealand and Australian soldiers were killed over the following months. Every year on April 25th, ANZAC Day commemorates those who fought and died in all wars with dawn services and parades, including one at the Cenotaph monument in Hastings, New Zealand that honors those who died in World War I.
The names on the Arch: Kiama Memorial Arch.kiamalibrary
In this presentation, I will be looking at Kiama around the time war was declared in 1914. The outbreak of war. Enlistment and conscription. The Waratah march. The Kiama Camps. Kiama’s first ANZAC service. Memorial services. Peace. And finally we’ll cover some of the names from the Arch.
1) Paul Revere rode through Massachusetts warning of the approaching British troops after receiving a signal of two lanterns in a church tower.
2) Paul Revere was eventually captured by British patrolmen after riding for some time, losing his horse and continuing on foot.
3) At Lexington, the British and Minutemen faced off until a shot was fired, sparking the Battle of Lexington where the "Shot Heard 'Round the World" occurred.
Remembrance Day is observed on November 11th in the UK and Commonwealth countries to honor military members who have died in war. It originated from Armistice Day marking the end of World War I in 1918. There is a national ceremony at the Cenotaph in London attended by the Royal Family with a two minute silence observed at 11am followed by wreath laying. Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday of November and sees local ceremonies at war memorials across the country. Poppies are worn as a symbol of remembrance for soldiers who died, originating from their growth on World War I battlefields.

The leaders of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) began planning an uprising in Ireland after World War I began. They formed a military council to organize the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin. Though their plans were kept secret, British intelligence arrested Roger Casement as he arrived from Germany with weapons. The Rising began as planned on Easter Monday but was confined to Dublin due to the Volunteers leader calling it off. After heavy fighting that destroyed parts of Dublin, the rebels surrendered unconditionally.
Germany started World War II by invading Poland in 1939, breaking the Treaty of Versailles. The main sides in the war were the Allies (including Russia, Britain, France, the US, and others) versus the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan). Winston Churchill became the British prime minister in 1940 during the war. Evacuees were civilians, especially children, removed from cities to rural areas for safety during bombing campaigns.
The document discusses the history of sunken ships throughout the world's oceans. It estimates that there are around 65,000 shipwrecks in the North Atlantic alone. Many of these sunken ships have been explored over time and have provided insights into history. Some were warfare vessels while others carried cargo or passengers. Several famous shipwrecks are highlighted, including the Queen Elizabeth II, Titanic, Mary Rose, and Andrea Doria. Shipwrecks often occurred due to accidents, bad weather, or equipment failures. Many sunken ship sites are now popular tourist attractions and homes to marine life.

This slideshow contains a collection of paintings on World War II, in the Pacific Theatre. Nearly all the paintings were painted by contemporary artists, who had direct experience of war at first hand. The war was started, in 1937, when Japan invaded China. However, in was in December 1941, when Japan decided to widen the war by attacking Pearl Harbour and other Southeastern Asian countries. However, unlike the Atlantic, the Pacific theatre lacks war artists to give a more comprehensive coverage of the war in the Asia-Pacific. There was no painting I can find on the China-Japanese war. However, there were many woodblock images on the war produced for propaganda purposes. A large part of the war was fought by the navies in the Pacific. As a result, this slideshow can only provide a partial coverage of the World War II in the Pacific Theatre. 25 Oct 2020.
World War II began after Germany's defeat in World War I. Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany and built up the military, invading Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and others. By 1940, Britain was the only Allied power left fighting Germany in Europe. Meanwhile, Japan had become increasingly militaristic and ambitious since the 1890s. In 1941, after the U.S. cut off oil exports, Japan attacked U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor and invaded territories across Southeast Asia like Malaya and Singapore. The British forces there were unprepared and underestimated the Japanese, resulting in a series of defeats for Britain.

The document provides extensive details about the Titanic, including its construction, maiden voyage that ended in disaster, and some of the notable passengers who perished when the ship sank after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912. Some key facts presented include that the Titanic was built by White Star Line and owned by American businessman J.P. Morgan, it carried over 2,200 passengers and crew but had only 16 lifeboats with a capacity of 1,178, and many wealthy and famous people were among the more than 1,500 who lost their lives when the ship went down in less than three hours after striking the iceberg.
The document summarizes the history of shipbuilding in Washington, North Carolina from 1760 to 1850. It discusses how sloop construction gave way to schooners in the 1760s. It highlights how Washington became a critical supply center during the Revolutionary War and that by 1783 it had 40 houses and shipbuilding was the chief occupation. It also notes that one of the first ten U.S. Revenue Cutters, the Diligence, was launched in Washington in 1791. By 1850, Beaufort County had become one of the most important shipbuilding centers in the state.
The USS Indianapolis delivered components for the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to Tinian Island in July 1945. On its return voyage from the Philippines, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine on July 30th, resulting in the deaths of over 800 sailors. The remaining 900 sailors were stranded in the ocean for up to 5 days with no food or fresh water before being rescued, with many dying from injuries, dehydration, or shark attacks during that time. The sinking of the USS Indianapolis remained unknown for days, delaying rescue efforts for the stranded sailors.

We hope that you have enjoyed the “Monuments of Gore Park” walking tour as we traced the history of the public monuments in Gore Park from the earliest days in 1860 to the present day.
Southampton played a key role as the primary embarkation port for troops and supplies during World War 1. Over the course of the war, over 2 million troops and countless tons of equipment, food, and medical supplies passed through the city's docks on their way to France. Southampton was also significant for its shipbuilding industry, hospitals that treated wounded soldiers, and role in transporting prisoners and refugees. The city's massive contributions to the war effort were recognized in 1919 when the Embarkation Commandant thanked Southampton for its "magnificent service" to the nation.
The document provides a history of the development of photography from its origins with the camera obscura in the 5th century BC through major innovations and photographers up until the late 1970s. It traces key early developments including Johann Schulze's discovery of the light-sensitive properties of silver in 1725, the first permanent photograph by Joseph Niépce in 1826, the introduction of the daguerreotype process by Louis Daguerre in the 1830s, the calotype process invented by William Henry Fox Talbot in the 1840s, and the wet plate collodion process introduced by Frederick Scott Archer in the 1850s. It highlights the work of early and influential photographers including Mathew Brady, Timothy O'Sullivan
This document provides an overview of the history of Gore Park in Hamilton, Ontario through a series of images and captions spanning from the 1800s to present day. It describes the individuals and events that have shaped the park, including its founding, the addition of monuments and statues such as the Sir John A Macdonald statue and Cenotaph, and the evolution of the central fountain area over time. A walking tour is provided with insights from the archivist at the local history archives.
The document discusses a pilot project to test a new mobile biofiltration system for managing stormwater runoff from Highway 7 into Ohop Creek in Washington. The system was installed in January 2022 to capture and filter runoff, collecting water quality samples during rain events to test the effectiveness of removing contaminants harmful to salmon. If successful, the relatively inexpensive and scalable system could help address a major threat to salmon recovery from increasing stormwater pollution due to growing traffic volumes. The results will inform whether wider use of the technology could help prevent harmful chemicals from polluting salmon streams.
This document summarizes a study that tracked the origins of juvenile Chinook salmon in the Nisqually River estuary using coded wire tags. The study found that most fish caught came from local Nisqually River hatcheries, but fish also originated from hatcheries in the Green, Puyallup, and Skykomish Rivers. The tagging data provides insights into the fish's migration patterns and survival rates, helping managers evaluate hatchery programs and protect wild salmon populations.
The document summarizes a study of potential improvements to Interstate 5 between Tumwater and Mounts Road in Washington. $550,000 in state and local funds were provided to identify mid- and long-term strategies to address increasing congestion in the area. The study analyzed various scenarios like operations improvements, land use changes, transit expansion, and additional lanes. Performance measures related to travel time, accessibility, and the environment were used to evaluate scenarios. Draft recommendations include prioritizing strategies like land use changes, transit expansion, and travel demand management in the short- and mid-term.

This document summarizes the objectives and approach of Melanie Davis' research on developing dynamic habitat models for estuary-dependent species. The objectives are to: 1) Model changes in restoring habitat mosaics over time, 2) Determine prey availability in each habitat type, 3) Identify prey consumed by juvenile Chinook salmon, and 4) Use a bioenergetics model to estimate habitat quality as the mosaic shifts. The research involves modeling different restoration and climate change scenarios to understand their impacts on salt marsh habitats and prey availability/consumption. Field studies are being conducted to understand prey use by salmon in different habitat types to parameterize the bioenergetics model. The goal is to provide tools to help restoration planning under
Karen Povey is the Conservation Engagement Manager at an aquarium partnership. She lists several South Sound area restaurants that are ocean-friendly. The document then provides statistics from volunteer species monitoring programs from 2014-2018, including the number of participants and species found each year. Tables show purple martin nesting rates from 2014-2018 and frog and salamander observations by life stage. Pika detections from volunteer monitoring efforts increased from 2015 to 2017.

This document contains appendices to the "Nisqually Watershed Response to the 2018 Streamflow Restoration Act". Appendix B contains WAC 173-511, the Nisqually Instream Flow Rule, which establishes instream flows and surface and groundwater limitations in the Nisqually River basin to protect instream resources pursuant to state law. The rule applies waters within the Nisqually River basin and was promulgated to retain perennial rivers, streams and lakes with minimum instream flows and levels.
This document describes various mitigation strategies to increase streamflows in different sub-basins in WRIA 11. It provides details for each strategy such as the sub-basin(s) it would benefit, estimated annual water benefits in acre-feet and cubic feet per second, potential ecological benefits, and uncertainties. Some of the strategies described include connecting new developments to city water to reduce consumptive use, purchasing and retiring water rights, stream restoration projects, forest management projects, stormwater projects, and managed aquifer recharge projects. The document provides a table that summarizes the strategies and estimates their total annual water benefits could range from 2,470 to 8,623 acre-feet.
This document is an addendum to the Nisqually Watershed Management Plan that provides the watershed's response to Washington's 2018 Streamflow Restoration Act. It was prepared by the Nisqually Watershed Planning Unit with assistance from various stakeholders and state agencies. The addendum describes the watershed context and characteristics that influence mitigation alternatives to offset new domestic permit-exempt groundwater withdrawals projected between 2018-2040. It then outlines a variety of habitat restoration projects, land use strategies, and policy options that could provide ecological and instream flow benefits to help the watershed achieve no-net-loss of annual average streamflows.
The document is a planning unit agreement to update the Nisqually Watershed Management Plan per the mandate of ESSB 6091. It establishes the Nisqually Indian Tribe as the lead agency and identifies participating governmental and non-governmental entities. The scope is to estimate impacts of new permit-exempt domestic wells through 2040, identify appropriate mitigation, and develop an addendum to the 2003 watershed plan by February 2019. The agreement sets ground rules for consensus-based decision making and open public participation in the planning unit.
- A study analyzed land use and habitat changes in the lower Nisqually River valley over the past 60 years using aerial imagery from 1957, 1980, and 2015.
- Between 1957 and 1980, riparian forest decreased by 7.7% due to conversion to agriculture. From 1980 to 2015, riparian forest increased 2.3% within a restoration area.
- Upland forest saw minimal loss between 1957-1980 but declined 8.2% between 1980-2015 due to land development.
- Overall forest cover in the study area decreased 8.6% from 1957-1980 and another 5.9% from 1980-2015 through land development, agriculture, and river channel movement.

This document summarizes efforts to evaluate biodiversity in the Salish Sea at the population level. It describes studying the genetic structure of populations to better understand how different populations may respond differently to environmental changes. Examples discussed include studying eelgrass and Olympia oyster populations to inform conservation efforts, and chum salmon populations to inform management. The document also describes a project using Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures to study cryptic and understudied species diversity at different sites, finding varying numbers of species and individuals across sites. Studying population diversity is important for conservation, management and education.
This document outlines 8 habitat restoration projects proposed along the Nisqually River in Washington. Project 1 requests $290,710 to protect 60 acres and 0.5% of the flood zone at river mile 33. Project 2 requests $469,844 to acquire 90 acres for future restoration and protect 12.7% more floodplain. Project 3 requests $510,000 to continue removing levees and restoring natural areas along the Wilcox Reach.
