One-hundred-thousand Australians died in our overseas wars and are rightly commemorated on the Roll of Honour at the Australian War Memorial.
Perhaps as many First Nations Australians died in the Australian wars after 1788. They receive almost no recognition in the Memorial, which some Australians regard as our most sacred place. (We don't know exactly how many First Nations people died because bodies were burned or buried, bones scattered, and records lost or destroyed.)
