Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This is the story of the Defence Reserves Association. It conducted a decades-long battle to steadfastly support and defend the Army, Air Force and Navy Reserves. Its biggest enemy were the dozens of reviews, inquiries, and reports into the Reserves by politicians, Defence bureaucrats and uniformed policymakers, which led to endless 'fiddling' with Reserve structure and purpose. At times the very existence of the Reserves appeared to be in question - it seemed like the Reserves were being 'eaten by moths'.When the Association was formed by Major General Paul Cullen and other senior Reserve officers in 1970, many of whom were World War Two veterans, the Reserves were seen to be under threat. In a rapidly changing world, in the middle of the Cold War and by non-involvement in the war in Vietnam, there was much angst about the future of the Reserves in military and political circles.The fact that the Reserves survived to become a more vital and effective part of the Defence Force than ever before, can be credited in large part to the endless advocacy of the DRA. Indeed, the Reserves have evolved to become an essential, integrated part of the ADF, as it embraces the same new approaches to warfighting, peacekeeping, technology and doctrine. This history is not just the story of the of the DRA, but also the story of the Reserves over the past 50 years.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This fascinating history is a narrative not just of an entrepreneurial family with all of its rich past and personalities, especially that of Jock Simmie, but also of two very different family businesses. Three brothers came home from World War One. Two had served at Gallipoli, all three had been wounded on the Western Front. They founded Simmie and Co in 1924, a highly successful building company which constructed a remarkable range of works, across Melbourne (1924-1978) and in Canberra (1926-1969), including some of the national capital's most iconic public buildings. The other family business was Harpsdale, Victoria, purchased by Jock Simmie in 1940, which became a highly respected Dorset Horn Stud. Settled by the pioneer Brodie family in the 19th Century, this historic farmland and homestead has now been farmed by the Simmie family for more than 80 years. A grandson, Richard, has restored and preserved not just Harpsdale itself but the records of the family and the businesses which enabled this history to be completed. This honest and detailed narrative will delight any reader of Australian and Victorian history from Queen Victoria's day to the present as it reveals the contribution, in its own unique way, of 'The Simmie Family of Simmie & Co and Harpsdale' to the development of this nation.…
