DESCRIPTION

Forgotten Valour is the story of Arthur Sullivan VC and other Australian soldiers who enlisted in the Great War but went on to fight in the Russian Civil War.

The Great War, 'the war to end all wars' as someone optimistically called it, ended on 11 November 1918, yet here these men were, nine months later, with the fresh blood of battle sprayed up their arms and stained on their shirts.

A 22-year-old soldier from South Australia, Corporal Arthur Percy Sullivan, was among the column of men pinned down in the muddy water.

What happened next would change the rest of his life.

This gripping story about Australians at war and the effect of war in Australia has not been fully told until now.
