Muriel was called up as a nurse in 1942 after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Stationed at a hospital near Port Moresby Muriel saw many casualties who, due to the length of time it took for them to arrive at hospitals, had not just terrible wounds, but infection in them. Muriel will admit to having felt bitter towards the Japanese during the war, particularly in a moment she was tasked with giving a Japanese soldier a needle while wishing it was a big screw. Muriel now has the attitude of forgive and forget towards the Japanese but will never forget her friends who were killed at their hands.A [newspaper] clipping featuring four columns of text underneath a large black and white photo of a seated older woman laughing with two younger women in nurse's uniforms.'Muriel (Stacey) Andrews' [blue ink, top right] 'NC010'[graphite pencil, mid right, reverse of page]world war 2, wwii, ww2, world war ii, heidelberg repatriation hospital, new south wales, papua new guinea -
Bendigo Historical Society Inc.Photograph - Gliding in Bendigo, Late 1930s
... Prevented from joining the Air Force by his red-green colour blindness, Alan joined the Army the day after the Pearl Harbour attack. He served in an Armoured Reconnaissance Unit in Western Australia, then with the Army Education Service in New Britain. ...Prevented from joining the Air Force by his red-green colour blindness, Alan joined the Army the day after the Pearl Harbour attack. He served in an Armoured Reconnaissance Unit in Western Australia, then with the Army Education Service in New Britain. ...These are the recollections of Alan Menere (1915 – 2001). Alan grew up in Moonee Ponds, Victoria, and moved to Bendigo while in his early 20s. There he met some like-minded young men who enjoyed challenges and matters mechanical. Flying was the adventure of the time, and they decided to give it a go. There was no intention to be on the leading edge of gliding technology. The challenge was to fly, and by their own efforts. They were aided in this by the embryonic regulatory arrangements covering light aircraft construction and flying, a sense of optimistic can-do, and the cavalier estimation of risks that goes with being in your early 20s. The events described here took place against a darkening political background. Alan and his mates were politically aware, very left wing, and viewed the gathering storm in Europe with apprehension. They could see from early on that war was coming, and it would change everything. Prevented from joining the Air Force by his red-green colour blindness, Alan joined the Army the day after the Pearl Harbour attack. He served in an Armoured Reconnaissance Unit in Western Australia, then with the Army Education Service in New Britain. After the War he joined the Commonwealth Public Service. He moved to Canberra, but his Bendigo habits stayed with him, as he built sailboards and carved propellers, to the admiration of his sons. Alan developed macular degeneration in his mid-60s. He retired to Port Stephens, fishing and socializing when he wasn’t tinkering with wing-sails for his catamaran. As he could touch-type, he quickly learned to use a computer. Very aware that he was the last member of the Bendigo group still alive, he resolved to set down his flying experiences. The images he selected are included, but there are many more from the Bendigo days.A CD entitled "Alan Menere - Recollections of Gliding in Bendigo in the late 1930s". The CD contains 33 documents consisting of one word file, one PDF file (entitled "The Urge to Fly") and the rest are of either photos of the Bendigo Gliding club or generally around Bendigo itself. Also included are some paper clippings of accidents that happened and description of flights.history, bendigo, bendigo gliding club, alan menere
