Lest We Forget

On the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th month... We Will Remember Them.

The Lost Battalion is a story of bravery, humility, honour, camaraderie and sacrifice, as remembered by South Australian veterans who served in Syria, the Middle East and New Guinea during World War II.
