Using the War Memorials weapons, artefacts and letters, Neil retraces the story of soldier Private Thomas Anderson Whyte - a champion rower who was among the first wave of soldiers during the historic Landing of Gallipoli, on April 25, 1915. Neil attends his first Anzac Day Dawn Service and grapples with separating myth from legend as he interviews well known Australians about the Landing and whether this first 'thunderclap' of war signalled the birth of a young nation. 📺 It's like Netflix for history...
