Horace Dalton, "Black Digger"

The War That Changed the World

Available for over a year

Trooper Horace Dalton was one of 400,000 Australians who enlisted to fight in World War One. He joined the 11th Light Horse Regiment of the Australian Imperial Force in 1918. His descendent Wesley Enoch - an Australian playwright - talks about how Dalton helped forge the Anzac spirit, but how he was different from the traditional image of Anzac; he was an Aboriginal. Welsey Enoch read and sang this essay especially for the programme, The War That Changed The World. Their family is from Minjerribah, Stradbroke Island.
