BRIGHTON: Soul of Anzac
To mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War, Douglas Lawrence has chosen an absorbing program from six of the countries involved: England, France, the USA, Australia, Germany and Turkey. In his 1916 poem, ‘The Soul of Anzac’, Sydney journalist, Roderic Quinn speaks of the feelings of Australian soldiers and of their families.
