On Remembrance Day I want to bring you the story of two best friends - Harold West and George Leonard. Private Harold West and Private Leonard were among about 5,000 Indigenous Australians who served during the Second World War.

Here is a link to a YouTube video which is a trailer for a film about Harold West and George Leonard. Alas the film has not yet been made.
