Anzac Day is a special day of commemoration and to acknowledge it this year the Cooroy-Noosa Genealogy Group have invited guest speaker Neil Dearberg, chief historian for the Desert Anzacs and president of the Military Historical Society of Queensland.
At the Heritage Centre, 17 Emerald St, Cooroy on Saturday 15 April commencing at 1pm, Neil Dearberg will present The Anzacs that saved the British Empire.
“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 WW1,“ group spokesman John Hartley said.
“He will explain how that happened and focus on some of the major people who played such a vital part of our military and national history.“
