Monthly lectures are held with guest speakers on a variety of topics. Lectures are available free to members and guests. Featuring renowned speakers from Australian defence and security organisations, universities, other historical societies and “think tanks”, these insightful topics provide great depth into conflicts and periods of history of military importance.
