They Marched Into Sunlight
Two days in October 1967 two events were taking place, one was at the University of Wisconsin where students were protesting Dow Chemical for its production of napalm when their peaceful demonstration turned into a riot. The other event was in Vietnam, where a platoon of U.S. soldiers were ambushed by Viet Cong and 61 Americans were killed. These two separate events solidified opposition to the war on college campuses.
The 34th Battalion
Four friends in Maitland in rural New South Wales join the Army in 1916 after the disastrous Gallipoli campaign. In their first engagement the battalion saves the French town of Villers-Bretonneux. Later the 34th plays a role in the Allies’ offensive in the battle of Amiens and the battle of St Quentin Canal, the operation that breaches the Hindenburg Line, thus sealing Germany’s defeat.
