Description

The service of Australian soldiers of Chinese heritage has been largely overlooked. Historian Dr Will Davies', The Forgotten: Chinese Labour Corps and the Chinese Anzacs in the Great War, seeks to correct that oversight. In the first of two episodes, Dr Davies talks about Australia's Chinese Anzacs and the Chinese Labour Corps in which approximately 150,000 to 200,000 Chinese nationals supported the Allied effort on the Western Front.
