Australian civilians worked for decades supporting the
survivors and orphans of the Armenian Genocide massacres. April 24, 1915 marks
the beginning of two great epics of the First World War. It was the day the
allied invasion forces set out for Gallipoli; and it marked the beginning of what
became the Genocide of the Ottoman Empire’s Armenians. For the first time, this
book tells the powerful, and until now neglected, story of how Australian
humanitarians helped people they had barely heard of and never met, amid one of
the twentieth century’s most terrible human calamities.
