At 5am on 11 November 1918 on a train outside Paris, the armistice to end World War 1 was signed. It marked the end of a conflict that left 200,000 Australians dead, injured or maimed and a young nation shell-shocked.
Shell-Shocked: Australia After Armistice depicts the grief and uncertainty of a mother unable to find out the fate of her son for two years. It reveals what the future held for a brave nurse wounded on the field as she treated a casualty. It follows the journeys of soldiers as they are resettled after the horrors of battle.
