The history of the Lovett brothers who risked their lives to fight for Australia in the First and Second World Wars is well documented today, but that wasn't always the case. 

It was around 89 years after their service that Boandik Gunditjmara Elder Uncle Johnny Lovett knocked on the doors of the Australian War Memorial demanding why his father and uncles weren't on the record. The answer? They were Aboriginal.

Then there's Uncle Allan McDonald, who was one of the first Indigenous soldiers to enlist in the First World War, surviving Gallipoli and seeing battle in Beersheba with the iconic Light Horsemen. After his death, he was buried in an unmarked grave in Warrnambool's cemetery, in a spot no-one knew about - until now.

This Remembrance Day 2021, we looked at two stories of Aboriginal soldiers of the south-west and a new legal push that begs a whole range of questions about the enlistment of Aboriginal soldiers and compensation owed to them.
