Alfred's War

Alfred’s War is a powerful story that unmasks the lack of recognition given to First Nations servicemen who returned from the WWI battlelines.

Alfred was a forgotten soldier. Although he had fought bravely in the Great War, as a First Nations man he wasn’t classed as a citizen of his own country. Yet Alfred always remembered his friends in the trenches and the mateship they had shared. Sometimes he could still hear the never-ending gunfire in his head and the whispers of diggers praying. Every year on ANZAC Day, Alfred walked to the nearest town, where he would quietly stand behind the people gathered and pay homage to his fallen mates.
