Notes
Born 25/4/1909 Sydney, NSW. Son of Morris Aaron ROSALKY & Annie née SILVERMAN. Marcus and Annie are on the 1931 Electoral Roll living at 23 Odessa Street, Balaclava, Victoria. During non-operational RADAR test, aircraft struck ground at high speed, disintegrating over large area. "The Hebrew Standard of Australasia Thursday 1 March 1945, page 4: The death of Marcus Rosalky, as the result of an aircraft accident, removes from our midst a devout Jew and a lover of all things pertaining to Judaism. He will be missed by a large circle of friends. The deceased was the eldest son of Mrs A Rosalky, of Allen’s Parade, Bondi Junction. Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners’ Advocate NSW Thursday 1 March 1945, page 3: SIX MEN KILLED IN TRAINING CRASH Melbourne: Wednesday - Six members of the RAAF were killed at a south-east Victorian training flight.

John Monash (Monasch) born
in Melbourne, Australia on 27 June 1865, the son of
German Polish Jewish migrants, can be researched in any
military history encyclopaedia or in fact by just
‘Googling’ his name on the internet. His history
and list of achievements are long and far too many to detail
in this brief summary. However, might I say that reading his
history is well worth the effort and I can assure you that
his deeds will amaze you. I have found that the deeds are
better labelled on more than one man and in more than one
lifetime.
An
announcement was made in the weeks leading up to the
Centenary of ANZAC by Judy Landau, President VAJEX Aust.
She stated that it gave her great delight to announce
that VAJEX Aust (Victorian Association of Jewish Ex
& Servicemen & Women Australia Inc) has
successfully raised the required funds to build a new
Victorian Jewish Memorial after the style of the
historic Memorial located in the Jewish section of the
Melbourne General Cemetery. After an extensive two year
process, Judy has single-handedly sought letters of
support, raised the funds, and obtained approval from
the City of Port Phillip.
