The descendants of soldiers are back, allowed to come and pay homage to their ancestors. “It’s very good to be here. It took two years before we could travel again. It’s wonderful to be part of this event.”says one of them. 46 Australians died on the Western Front during the First World War.
The portraits of these soldiers are projected for a moment, the time of a ceremony.
