Today is Anzac Day. A national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand that commemorates all Australians and New Zealanders “who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations”

Private Miller Mack (pictured) of the 50th Battalion was one of those diggers.  Aboriginal Australians are only now are being recogized for their service to a country which didn’t consider them citizens, wouldn’t let them vote, earn an equal wage, enter a public bar, marry a non-aboriginal or buy property.
