ANZAC STEEL

In early August 1914, Arthur Steel and his best mate, Don Cameron travel to Sydney from their hometown of Warwick, Queensland to enlist in the 1st Brigade of the Australian Imperial Force. 


On April 25, 1915 they storm the beaches of Gallipoli, Turkey in the second wave of the Anzac attack. The Australians are cut to pieces. Arthur is shot on the third day, but survives. Don is later killed at the Battle of Lone Pine.


Following in their footsteps, Arthur’s brothers, Herbert and Robert - along with their cousin William - all enlist in the Light Horse Brigade. Don Cameron’s brother Bob, joins the infantry. 


Arthur recovers in England and returns to 2nd Battalion to fight on in the trenches of the Western Front. He is gassed under Hill 60, hit with shrapnel at Ypres and shot three more times.


One town. Two families. Six sons. By war’s end, each will each face a different outcome. 


This is their true story - from Gallipoli to Armistice Day and beyond.
