Military history enthusiast, battlefield guide and speaker, retired Lieutenant Colonel Ron Lyons served for 37 years in the Australian Army Reserve. He will also describe Sydney’s very rude awakening in May/June 1942 when war literally arrived on our doorstep. In this presentation Ron Lyons will talk about Australia’s entry into the war and, in particular, life in wartime Sydney and its defences. Australians didn’t see the war come home until the cataclysmic events in the second half of 1941, which brought the war closer to our threshold as the Japanese drove to create the Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Our forces were all away in either Europe, the Middle East or Malaya. Eighty years ago, Sydney had been at war for fifteen months.
