On the 14 Nov 1916 Melbourne College of Pharmacy student Eric Bisset in #WWI. In 2019 a posthumous Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) was conferred on him by @MonashUni. Just one name, among many, on our Honour Roll to remember this #RemembranceDay

On this day in 1865 @MonashUni's namesake, Sir John Monash, was born. Here are just some of the many photos we have in the Archives from throughout Sir John's life, which involved great success in both engineering and the military

On the eve of #ArmisticeDay @NotreDameDeLorette, the largest French military cemetery, I took a moment to walk around the Ring of Remembrance, where almost 600,000 soldiers of all nationalities are commemorated. A moving moment to reflect on so many brutally lost lives.

[College of Pharmacy WWI Honour Roll 🇦🇺 @HonourRoll]

Thank you @couvedm. We remembered Douglas E Towl, who graduated with honours as Pharmacy Silver Medallist before being KIA & later his pharmacist uncle also died in the field. And of course we remembered Alan & Harry Couve, & the 5 Soldiers of #WW1.

[Marna @couvedm]

Hope it went well. Couldn’t attend but my minute silence was for all the beautiful students including Alan Couve who are in the Book of Remberance

[Monash Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences @MonashPharm]

30 pharmacy students of The College of Pharmacy (now @MonashPharm) paused their studies to enlist during WWI. Four never returned, one stayed behind as a photographer, helping to identify the graves of fallen soldiers. @HonourRoll

[College of Pharmacy WWI Honour Roll 🇦🇺 @HonourRoll]

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.
