festivalofmusic — 2015-01-28 22:58:40 UTC

Kids are often asked to write assignments. But it's not every day that those assignments end up earning you a free trip overseas. That's exactly what happened to Lucinda Duxbury but her trip was about more than just a holiday. It was a chance to tell the story of one soldier who never had a chance to tell his own. Here is that story.

This website is dedicated to their memory and to those who served with them and returned to Australia, many of them wounded in body and spirit.

Australia and the Vietnam War

festivalofmusic — 2015-02-03 20:53:45 UTC

In the early years Australia’s participation in the war was not widely opposed. But as the commitment grew, as conscripts began to make up a large percentage of those being deployed and killed, and as the public increasingly came to believe that the war was being lost, opposition grew until, in the early 1970s, more than 200,000 people marched in the streets of Australia’s major cities in protest.

festivalofmusic — 2015-02-03 21:00:02 UTC

ANZAC day is a time when we remember the people who've fought for Australia in wars. For anyone, that takes a huge amount of courage and determination. But imagine fighting for a country that didn't even see you as a citizen. Sarah looks at the sacrifice of Indigenous soldiers and meets some young people making sure it's not forgotten.

BTN: ANZAC Kids (Video)

festivalofmusic — 2015-02-03 21:03:53 UTC

These days there are ANZAC Day dawn services in towns all over the country and in places around the world.

The ANZAC Day marches are also a big part of the commemoration. They never used to attract many Aussie kids, but over the past few years things have changed.

More young people are getting involved by walking alongside their relatives. But now Brisbane kids have been banned from doing just that. And with ANZAC Day just around the corner, Tash thought it was time to find out what's going on.

As you saw earlier, Anzac day commemorations were held on Friday. And on that day we were lucky enough to meet a young Aussie with a very special connection to it. His name is Anzac. Here's his story.

Forever YoursL Stories of Wartime Love and Friendship

festivalofmusic — 2015-02-03 21:07:06 UTC

The story of war is one of conflict and battles, of training, technology, and tactics, but at its centre, it is a story of people – ordinary people trying to live their lives in extraordinary circumstances. During wartime, emotions become more intense, and people often take chances when unsure of what the future holds. When romance blossoms, some marry soon after. Some leave their homes, families or countries to be with the one they love. Letters, photographs, and gifts become important expressions of love during times of separation. Love takes many forms. There is the love of a parent, and concern for the safety of their children, the love between brothers, sisters, partners, and friends, and the devotion betweena pet and its master. For many during wartime, a patriotic love for their country underpins their military service. Loyalty to mates leads to selfless acts of courage. Some devote themselves to helping others, and some take hope and comfort from their strong spiritual beliefs. Here you will find the personal stories of ordinary Australians who knew what it was to love, and be loved, and lose love during wartime.

Stories for ANZAC Day (Booklist)

festivalofmusic — 2015-02-03 21:14:13 UTC

There are some topics which can be difficult for children to process. War is one of those topics. Reading gentle stories and books can be an effective way to introduce or explain information to your children that they may be exposed to by the media.

ANZAC Biscuits by Phil Cummings: A Book Review and an ANZAC Activity for Children

festivalofmusic — 2015-02-03 21:15:14 UTC

Here is a tender story of war. Anzac Biscuits is a story that goes beyond the experiences of soldiers. It shows the private moments of families who are left behind to worry about their fathers, brothers, uncles and sons.

Laid out over alternate pages, Phil Cummings cleverly tells two stories simultaneously. A young man fights a war on the other side of the world while his wife and daughter bake Anzac Biscuits for him.

Children's War Books (Booklist)

festivalofmusic — 2015-02-03 21:19:55 UTC

Anzac Day, celebrated every year on April 25th, is a special day for New Zealanders and Australians. While I was researching for my book on the history of Anzac Day, I became interested in the subject of books on war written for children. Many of these are classics, but there are others that are much less well known.
The best of these books can help children (and grown-ups) understand the nature of war: how things are not always black and white, how there can be different definitions of heroism and cowardice. Books about war can highlight acts of bravery, courage and loyalty, amongst those who served and fought, as well as those who were caught up in war through no choice of their own.
