Seven and a half thousand Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people served Australia in the two World Wars – but too few know of their contribution.
This year for the first time since 2019, the Australian War Memorial will welcome a full Veterans’ March on Anzac Day, Monday 25 April, the 107th anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli.
There were no mourners and no wreaths, just a sombre ceremony at the Australian War Memorial to commemorate 20 years since the September 11 US terror attacks and the defence force efforts since.
The National Capital Authority (NCA) has approved early works for the Australian War Memorial, which will see Anzac Hall demolished and pave the way for the $500 million expansion.
