After becoming tetraplegic in his teens, oral historian Patrick Bronte was inspired by two war veterans to archive wartime experiences. He's established the Nga Toa Project which so far covers World War Two, Korea, Malaya-Borneo, Vietnam and some more recent operational deployments. It is a free online archive which contains more than 300 interviews with veterans.
