I have questions:
1. What is the mythological or historical context behind a frog appearing at your door?
2. Is this a frog?
3. Does it mean big rain is a coming?
4. Is this a good (native) frog?

From the captured cannons, weapons and machinery of war, the College of Pharmacy was awarded a German machine gun and sled, similar to this one in a pic from the @AWMemorial. Now lost to time, there is no records of its whereabouts (it was perhaps reclaimed for metal during #WW2)
#RemembranceDay
After #WW1, cities, schools & organisations were offered ‘trophies of war’ proportionate to their sacrifice. A grim task of the College of Pharmacy was to collect our ‘trophy’ from enemy loot that was being stored at Royal Exhibition Building. (1/2)
To mark Remembrance Day the Royal Exhibition Building will light up #RedtoRemember on November 10th and 11th, as we honour veterans and their families for their sacrifice and service.
We continue to share their memories through our Wartime Stories 🔗 https://t.co/v1T41jCtUt
MEDIA RELEASE: The Victorian Aboriginal Remembrance Committee (VARC) joins other organisations to strongly condemn the actions of protestors at the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance on Wed 22 Sept 2021.

#OnThisDay 100 years ago, Staff Sgt Frank Cahir disembarked after distinguished AMC Field Ambulance service & years with the Aus Graves Service. Last month we lost Pat Cahir OAM, his #WW2 veteran son & friend of Faculty. #RIP Pat, sadly missed & reunited at last.
Welcome to the fleet! 🚁

From being a rural labourer in QLD to the first Indigenous Parliamentarian, Neville Bonner was an incredible man in a time when it would have been tough. A portrait of Neville hangs in my office: a reminder of the path he created for generations to follow.
#MothersDay is particularly harrowing day for parents & families of veterans lost in any conflict.
Mothers of our 5 student soldiers would have been entitled to the #WW1 Mothers & Widows Badge:
⭐️⭐️ Bisset: Eric & Alan
⭐️⭐️ Couve: Alan & Tom
⭐️ Jewkes: Gordon
⭐️ Jones: Malcom
The old Couve Pharmacy in @GreaterDandy will honour pharmacy families who have served the community & feature the Couve family & #WW1 service.
Botany & pharmacy will come together with native flora, artworks, colour, pavement, wall & overhead treatments: https://t.co/ziH1zS4SDY
Today is #VEday. We are proud to have had our research support this initiative by @greaterdandy to recognise the service of pharmacy families. Not only did Joson Couve lose 2 sons & his assistant L. Lamb in #WW1, it was later owned by a #WW2 Veteran & @PSA_Vic Board Mbr McKeon.
On #VEday we salute the service and sacrifice of pharmacy families in #WW2. Like there fathers before them, even more pharmacists answered the call, in Europe, the Middle East & Pacific. All three sons of #WW1 MCP Student Soldier Frank Cahir served in WW2. #LestWeForget @JPC_55
