    Category: Other  An Inside View: Talk by Major (Retired) Lindsay Amner


    April 24, 2024

    A Whaingaroa Writers world event. An Inside View: Major (Retired) Lindsay Amner spent a total of 34 years serving in both the New Zealand and Australian armies. He served ten years as a soldier in the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, ending as a sergeant, before completing a Masters degree in Strategic Studies and being commissioned as an Education Officer in the Royal New Zealand Army Education Corps. Having filled every role available to a New Zealand education officer, including Curator of the National Army Museum,  the Senior Army Education Advisor and the Army Historian, Lindsay transferred to the Australian Army and spent ten years in various education roles, ending as the editor of the Australian Army Journal.   Lindsay retired in 2018 and enjoys the life of a country gent with his wife, Ninette, on their riverside property in Whatawhata.

    Lindsay owns one of the best collections of the New Zealand Official War Histories and will talk about how this unique series of books came to be. Many of these books are extremely rare today, some with print runs of only 500 copies.   Lindsay will bring a number of the more interesting books and use them to illustrate his discussion of the landings and some of the more significant battles of the Gallipoli campaign on the night before Anzac Day.
