Our speaker for the History+ Group in October will be Dr Bob Marmion, retired detective and historian. His book "Murder at the Fort" covers the true story of two murders of soldiers in the 1940s. It is a story of incredible intrigue, twists and "cover ups". Were Japanese submariners in Queenscliff? Was it the first group of women in the barracks? Bob did much painstaking research.
The book is in its 4th printing, and timing for this talk is serendipitous with the Fort being part of the Department of Defence's diversement of 67 assets around the nation. Bob will answer questions after his illustrated talk.
