from Our Wartime Heroes: firsthand stories from men and women who were there

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Dick was a very bright boy who could have chosen any number of futures for himself. Instead, he followed the call of King and country and enlisted in the 11th Battalion Australian Infantry Forces as soon as Australia declared war in 1914.Perhaps because of his farming background, Dick was a crack shot, a skill in demand on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Narrator Sharon Kennedy. Voice of Dick, Rhys Hughes. Written by Jeffrey Peirce.
