General Note In the third of the four segments which comprise the DVD, Mark Lee visits Cherbourg. "In 1914, it was an Aboriginal mission, controlled by state and church. Full blooded Indigenous men were not allowed to enlist unless they could prove they had one parent of European descent. But thousands attempted. Vincent Law and Benjamin Combo were some of the 500 or more Indigenous servicemen who saw the war as their first experience of equal opportunity." - Inside cover. The section commences at about the 24-minute mark and runs for 6-7 minutes.
A Firefly production.
Collection code: BD Australian Aboriginal Black Diggers
Summary Note "330,000 Australians volunteered to play their part in the First World War. Two in three would end up dead or injured. Australia experienced loss and grief on a scale not known before or since. 90 years later Mark Lee ('Gallipoli') pieces together the stories of some of the men remembered on memorials around the country, examining the way in which virtually every family in Australia was touched by the war." - Back cover.
