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.

QAJEX ANZAC SERVICE
BRISBANE 2013
Again, as we approach the Centenary of the Gallipoli Campaign, it was gratifying to see the numbers attending the customary QAJEX Wreath Laying at the Shrine. The numbers are growing each year with familiar faces and new attendees.
Following the wreath laying and minutes silence and Ode we gathered adjacent to the Shrine where Rabbi recited Memorial Prayers and George Frey led us with the Kaddish.
Those present were QAJEX Members President David Roubin with son Michael and grand-daughter Tahlia. Arnold Rosenblum ably assisted by son David, George Frey and Harold Garfield.
Thanks to Rabbi Jaffe accompanied by Shmuel Ryan, Refael Wainstein, Hagai Chaviv and David Groen.
