A Brunswick Man Goes to War

This is a talk about a local born and bred Brunswick man who enlisted in the AIF for World War 1 and was killed in France. The talk focuses on his working class background, the unremarkable nature of his short life and the few but important remnants of Brunswick that remain from that time.

Whilst a common story it is no less tragic than so many others and it is to this point that the talk and a future short film attempts to commemorate the ordinary working class person who leaves for war and never returns.
