Two young visitors to the Australian War Memorial in Canberra view a display in the new “From the Shadows: Australia’s Special Forces” exhibition. ‘From the Shadows’ showcases the history of Australia’s elite soldiers since World War II – something few outsiders ever sample. More than 660 objects provided by Australia’s Special Operations Command units, including uniforms, gallantry medals and military equipment are on public display until October 2018. The exhibition also includes a collection of 25 interviews produced by award-winning broadcasters Chris Masters and Max Uechtritz, featuring personal accounts of life inside the secretive world of Special Operations.
