In Conversation with Cynthia

A heavy artillery gunner in WWII, Cynthia had some interesting experiences. She was offered a clerical role in the army but given she had worked as a secretary before the war, something more dramatic interested her. With a military service history in her family in WA, Cynthia shares her story of heavy artillery gunner training in Fremantle, WA and what Anzac Day means to her.

In Conversation with Henry. Waterford, Qld.

Henry grew up in the Riverina in NSW, outside of Griffith. When Henry was a teenager, his father left for the war and went to fight the Japanese in Singapore. Henry and his 7 siblings didn't hear from him again. Henry was called up some years later and found himself in Indonesia as part of a team building airstrips and a hospital with the RAAF. What follows is a truly remarkable story.
