Age range 3 to 10

Alfred's War is a powerful story that unmasks the lack of recognition given to Australian Indigenous servicemen who returned from the WWI battlelines. Alfred was just a young man when he was injured and shipped home from France. Neither honoured as a returned soldier or offered government support afforded to non-Indigenous servicemen, Alfred took up a solitary life walking the back roads – billy tied to his swag, finding work where he could.


Alfred was a forgotten soldier. Although he had fought bravely in the Great War, as an Aboriginal man he wasn't classed as a citizen of his own country. Yet Alfred always remembered his friends in the trenches and the mateship they had shared. Sometimes he could still hear the never-ending gunfire in his head and the whispers of diggers praying. Every year on ANZAC Day, Alfred walked to the nearest town, where he would quietly stand behind the people gathered and pay homage to his fallen mates.


Rachel Bin Salleh's poignant narrative opens our hearts to the sacrifice and contribution that Indigenous people have made to Australia's war efforts, the true extent of which is only now being revealed.



'Every year sees a swell of new stories about ANZAC
Day and Alfred's War is my pick of
2018's crop…It's a poignant story, one rooted in truth, and a damning critique
of Australian history. Rachel Bin Salleh skilfully renders some tough subjects accessible
for young readers, without ever ign

Worth about $15

Cute glasses. Not very sturdy and the ear pieces seem loose. They are okay for the price.

So cute and feel durable. The color looks exactly like the photo and the fit is great they're not too big which is something I find often when ordering glasses online. Will definitely be purchasing a second pair.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
Color: Boho Multicolor, Size: XX-Large
Wow. These are really nice tops. The material is soft and very comfortable and the fit is true to size. Colors are as pictured. They look and feel like they cost a lot more! I initially order this in 2 different patterns (Boho and Willowfloral) and I just now ordered 3 more, black, purple, and wine red. Can easily be worn all year round and can be dressed up or down. All in all, I’m very pleased with this purchase.
