The presentation is designed as an overview of Australian involvement in the Near East
during World War I and the Inter-War Period. This involvement may be divided into
two broad spheres: military and philanthropic.

Accompanied by a display of unique photographs and rare books, this seminar will present
some neglected chapters of Australian Hellenic history, showcasing some of
Australia’s heritage in the Hellenic World and the broader Near East before World War Two.
