    The Queensland Division of the Military Historical Society Australia would like to invite you to a once-in-a-lifetime military history presentation conducted by Lambis Englezos AM and the Honourable Dame Quentin Bryce AD, CVO. Dame Quentin was Governor General at the dedication at Pheasant Wood military cemetery at Fromelles in 2010.

    Lambis Englzos is an Australian amateur historian known for his significant contributions to uncovering the burial sites of Australian soldiers from World War 1, particularly those lost in the Battle of Fromelles. Lambis, a Greek-born Australian, has devoted many years to researching and advocating for the recognition of Australian soldiers who went missing during World War 1. His most notable achievement is the discovery of mass graves containing the remains of approximately 250 Australian soldiers from the Battle of Fromelles.
