Spooky calls

Charlotte from Khandallah

Can someone tell me - if the landline phone rings, I pick it it up but the line is open but silent until a woman's sugary voice says "Gooood byyyye" and the call cuts out - are they recording something, what's happening? We are getting intermittent calls from the Spark … View moreCan someone tell me - if the landline phone rings, I pick it it up but the line is open but silent until a woman's sugary voice says "Gooood byyyye" and the call cuts out - are they recording something, what's happening? We are getting intermittent calls from the Spark Technical Department which I just let them waste their money on, but is something happening when the call is outlined as above?

Domestic censorship in New Zealand 1914 to 1920
Hear from archivist and historian Jared Davidson, who has just published Dead Letters: Censorship and Subversion in New Zealand 1914-1920 (Otago University Press), revealing the impact of domestic censorship on the lives of radicals, writers, and everyday people during wartime and beyond.

'Haiku' film documentaries about the Great War
Then enjoy a selection of films from Anna Cottrell’s TV series Great War Stories, which reveal moving personal stories in letters and diaries, including some that escaped the censors.

Great War Stories consist of five TV series of short personal stories told through letters and diaries, many held in the ATL, some from whānau.
Among eight ‘haiku’ documentaries are Leonard Hart’s harrowing letter about the horrors of Passchendaele that evaded the censors; and Te Puea’s refusal to send her men to fight ‘white men’s wars’.

Another victim of the State was young Victor Spencer, shot at dawn for desertion in spite of his letter pleading poor mental health.
After reading a family diary Gareth Farr, composer, wrote a cello concerto for three relatives killed on the Western Front. Katherine Mansfield writes movingly about the death of her brother Leslie Beauchamp
