"Uncle Horace" - Aboriginal ANZAC
It's the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand. It's one of the most important dates of the year, when people remember their compatriots who fought in the First World War, particularly the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign.
Most of the Anzacs were white, but there were some black Aboriginal troops. Wesley Enoch is an Australian theatre director and playwright. He discovered that one of his Aboriginal relatives, Trooper Horace Dalton, fought with the Australian Imperial Force in Gallipoli. Nuala McGovern has been speaking to him.
