The role of the ANZACs in the Middle East and the establishment of Israel

At our November meeting, we are pleased to have historian Kelvin Crombie carry out a presentation on this interesting topic. 

About the Speaker


While working in Israel Kelvin Crombie became intrigued by the role of the Anzacs in the history of modern Israel. He has been researching for the past 25 years the contribution of the Anzac troops to the Middle East. His book "Anzacs, Empires and Israel's Restoration" was published in 1998.
