    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.

    Writer's Talk - Elizabeth Amoore

    Category: Artist Talk Writer's Talk - Elizabeth Amoore


    April 26, 2024

    A Whaingaroa Writers World event. Local historian, Elizabeth Amoore, a third generation Raglanite, loves history, and she particularly enjoys researching the history of this area. Come and hear about methods Liz used over a period of more than two years, as she painstakingly researched the East Street cemetery in order to try and identify those buried there. Her book ‘The Stories Behind the Headstones’ is no dull tome of boring facts but an enlightening look at the lives of early settlers, through the telling of their stories and the use of numerous photographs. Liz believes that by reading about their lives we are better able to understand the social context of how individuals and communities experienced previous eras, as well as the impact events had on them.  Koha entry.

    Our Soldiers Story of Survival, Hope and Redemption

    X-Press magazine 6.5/10 “A solid addition to the list of Australian war films, Before Dawn puts us in the muddy boots of the diggers in France.”

    Based on real life war diaries, Before Dawn is an epic retelling of one of Australia’s biggest victories during WW1. Jim Collins, a young man from the outback, leaves his family-run sheep station to join the ANZAC and fight on the western front with hopes of making a difference.

    Soon, the realities of the muddy, ruthless, and entirely unforgiving war takes its toll on Jim. As the men in the battalion are whittled away and hope becomes a distant memory, a final chance at redemption at the Battle of the Hindenburg Line, one of Australia’s greatest WW1 military victories. Jim must risk death or forever carry the burden of leaving yet another man behind.

    DIRECTOR: Jordon Prince-Wright
    WRITERS: Jarrard Russell
