Mark Johnston - Australian Heroes of World War II: Remarkable stories of battlefield courage
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Mark has pulled together the stories of 700 Australian soldiers who performed acts of incredible bravery – some of whom received official recognition for their courageous acts and others who did not.
Among their number are men in leadership and those of lower ranks, soldiers engaged in combat and others – like stretcher bearers and doctors – who did not wield weapons.
He discusses the battles themselves, the inescapable impacts of these acts of bravery, and the importance of recording them to remember.
