What was it like when WW1 ended?
Historians Jane Tolerton, Steven Loveridge and Barbara Mulligan will each draw on their unique knowledge of the First World War to present what life was like after the signing of the armistice agreement on 11th November, 1918. The armistice ended the fighting on land, sea and air.
Dealing with physical and psychological wounds
Jane Tolerton will speak to her upcoming book that focuses on the lives of three men who were teenagers when they went to war. She will discuss their homecomings and how it was the women who picked them up and put them back on their feet, helping them get through their physical and psychological wounds.
Servicemen and their wartime experiences
Steven Loveridge will speak about his current research which focuses on the different positions former servicemen came to in regards to their wartime experiences.
Wellington war memorials
Barbara Mulligan will take a more practical approach to the talk and will discuss her ongoing projects which focus on Wellington war memorials and the restoration of the gravestones of influenza victims at Karori cemetery.
Each speaker will present for around 20-30 minutes and there will be around 5 minutes for questions at the end of each presentation.

It's been a while since my last post as Vice President Public Relations for Newtown Toastmasters club and while Jane, who's our VPPR, is currently overseas, guess who's baaaaack!!
Our club theme tonight is:
Impromptu Speaking - which for some people is more scary than ghosts and goblins! Get ready to step outside your comfort zone and tackle this topic head on. Other than Table Topics, you'll also get to play some theatre sport games as well as charades.
Come and celebrate the evening with us and wear a novelty hat as well (optional 😀).
See you at 7:30pm tonight, at the Newtown Community Center!
All Welcome.

Opened in 1866, a century later St Paul’s Church in Thorndon, Wellington was facing a future of demolition, dismemberment or relocation from its site. This talk will discuss the heritage battle during the 1950s–1960s to decide the future of the church, and discuss some of the personalities and organisations that entered the fray. It will also consider the developing and differing concepts of what 'heritage' is in New Zealand, concepts which were put to the test during the sometimes bitter fight to save the church, one of the first and most important heritage battles in New Zealand conservation history.
Elizabeth Cox is a Wellington heritage consultant, and a senior historian at Manatū Taonga the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. She has researched and written about the social history of many of Wellington’s most important heritage buildings. For a number of years she has undertaken a project to explore the social history of Wellington city through the lens of just one building, Old St Paul's; this project can be found at www.osphistory.org.... Her book about the saving of the church, A Friend Indeed: The Saving of Old St Paul's, was launched by the Prime Minister earlier this year. She also blogs about Wellington heritage issues at www.bayheritage.co.nz....
These monthly Public History Talks are a collaboration between and National Library and the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. The talks are recorded live, and are available as a podcast here: newzealandhistory.podbean.com...
