Extract from ‘Gallipoli’
Narrator:
In a cold steel-grey dawn,
a cutter packed with young boys 
glides swiftly, stealthily,
through still black waters
towards Gallipoli beach …

Extract from ‘Banka Island’
Narrator: 
But there's to be no surrender!
The twenty-two nurses are now 
ordered to walk into the sea ...  
The Japanese fire across the line 
with a machine-gun ...

One by one, 
the women fall into the water 
with bullets in their backs ...

Some are still wearing 
their Red Cross armbands ...
Remember Them
