Great short. I never understood why people would sign up for war by choice. But I guess they didn't fully understand the realities - as you've portrayed in your story.
The Aussie soldiers were fed lies about what they were doing. Especially considering we’d only been a federated country, rather than a colony, for a little over a decade.

Interesting I didn't know that. So they had no idea they would be fighting at all? Or is was just played down?
This was devastating, and the contrast was incredibly powerful.
Thank you! I really appreciate the comment
