An Australian Korean War veteran recalls assisting an African American soldier and fellow prisoner of war who had been wounded. The other Americans would not help and the Australians assisted the African American to walk on a forced march. If you fell back to the end of the line you were bayoneted thus the advice 'don’t drop out’.
Curator’s notes
An example of the power of a war time recollection being effectively portrayed on screen. The stories of the men are a reminder of the terrors and destructiveness of war.
