War Experience

It used to be called the Great War because it was thought people had won everlasting peace. These days, World War I is seen as last of the soldiers' wars, in which men were more important than machinery.

Authentic newsreel footage depicting the hardship these men experienced in Europe, the Middle East, Singapore, New Guinea and Borneo.

The Glory they earned in WWII was more than balanced by the toll on machine and men wrought by the pressure of conflict. This program shows, both in actual footage and re-creation, the history of the RAAF.
