Image
To help commemorate Remembrance Day, Moonee Valley Libraries will present an author talk by Joshua Funder at Niddrie on Tuesday 10 November at 6:30pm. The greatest achievement of the otherwise disastrous Gallipoli campaign was the successful evacuation of 20,000 Australian troops. Joshua Funder tells this epic story through the eyes of his great-grandfather, John Watson, who was one of the Engineers responsible for building the pier at Anzac Cove. Joshua discusses this alternative to the official record. This talk is a free event, however are bookings necessary. To book, please click here .
