Welcome and please enjoy!
Upcoming Meetings:
October 28th, 2021
The next meeting of the SAMHS will be held on Thursday, 28th of
October at the Royal Society Rooms, Kintore Ave, Adelaide
at 5:30 pm.
Our speaker this month is the Flinders University historian Professor Philip Payton. He has many interests and in particular Cornish-Australian history so some members may have heard him speak at Cornish Festivals in SA. However, he will speak to us about repatriation of World War 1 defence personnel - much of which occurred during the 1918-19 pandemic.
Current Covid restrictions mean we will be limited to 50 people, so
everyone (members and guests) will be required to wear a mask at the meeting
and register ahead to keep track of numbers. If you wish to attend, please contact the Secretary (Joy) to reserve a place.
Professor Philip Payton - "Repatriation During and After WW1"
