Professor Peter Stanley presented historic images and documents depicting the 'forgotten brotherhood' between ANZAC and Indian soldiers.

Examining a lesser-known aspect of the 1915 Gallipoli campaign, this podcast focuses on the role of Indian soldiers who served alongside ANZAC troops. Peter Stanley sheds light on Australia’s British–Indian military heritage that most Australians don’t know about, using historic records and images from WWI.
