A search of the Dictionary of Biography returned the names of thirty-two individuals with a connection to Kew, who were claimed to be supporters, members or opponents of the Communist Party of Australia. Some were only linked to communism by reputation. The historian, Geoffrey Serle, in the entry on Vance Palmer (1885-1959) wrote that: ‘From 1942 he was a member of the Commonwealth Literary Fund's advisory committee and from 1947 to 1953 chairman; he suffered despicable allegations that he was a communist’ (Serle, 1988). Serle also noted that Palmer, a liberal socialist of the broad left, was defended by R.G. Menzies. Others were linked through marriage. Gwendolyn Kent Hughes (1889-1965), the third daughter of Wilfred Kent Hughes, was married to Victor Reginald Lloyd (1895-1964) in 1930 in Holy Trinity Church. Lloyd ‘... had strong ties to the trade union movement and belonged to the Communist Party of Australia’ (Barbara Falk, 2000).Single page flyer used in a City of Kew election for Studley Ward protesting about Rate Increases in the Ward.

There was light at the end of the tunnel. The war in Vietnam was now winnable. The suddenly American TV screens exploded with violent fighting in the streets of Saigon, sabotage at the US Embassy, and raids on over one hundred US installations. The Tet Offensive of 1968 had started, a bold series of surprise attacks that cost both sides dearly. The Communists lost 40,000 lives and failed to spark a popular revolution; the Johnson Administration began to lose credibility with the American people. The beginning of the end of the war had begun.tet offensive (1968), saigon, fall of saigon, president johnson, communists
