The Australian Government’s proposal to build important new ANZAC commemorative infrastructure on Lemnos is being progressed in recent high-level discussions between Greek and Australian.
Greek Deputy Minister of Defence Alkiviadis Stefanis and Australian Minister for Veterans and Defence Personnel Darren Chester MP had an online meeting last month. The Ambassador of Australia to Greece Arthur Spyrou was also present during the meeting.
During the meeting, Mr Chester presented a new proposal by the Australian Department of Veterans’ Affairs for the construction of new infrastructure on Lemnos, to enhance the commemorative experience of visitors, a further demonstration of the increasing recognition the contribution of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) in the Gallipoli campaign.
The Imvrians Society of Melbourne has embarked on a world first – to create an exhibition that will commemorate the role of their home island in Australia’s Anzac story and the Gallipoli Campaign.
Imvrians Society Committee Member George Xinos is excited that the Club has embarked on this important project that aims to educate the community on the important role of Imbros in the Anzac story.
“We have been discussing putting together this sort of project for many years and we now are on the brink of realizing it. We are so proud to be working with historian Jim Claven to bring this story to Melbourne’s Hellenic and wider community,” Mr Xinos said.
