"Our Mob Served: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories of War and Defending Australia" by Allison Cadzow and Mary Anne Jebb
While Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been largely ignored or marginalised in national histories of war and service, they have remembered their involvement in Defence service and the service of their relatives.
Our Mob Served presents a moving and little-known history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander war time and defence service, told through the vivid oral histories and treasured family images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
This unique book shares lively and compelling stories of war, defence service and the impact on individuals, families and communities, sometimes for the first time.
