In this audio Samuel’s great great nephew Daniel Browning read from his letters home from the front, and provides biographical context, with additional audio from Samuel’s daughter Betty Shields.  A variation on these recordings was first made for ABC Radio National’s ‘Awaye!’ Program, hosted by Daniel Browning (22 April 2017). Daniel Browning kindly re-recorded the letters for this app. The audio of Betty Shields was taken from an ABC TV program, ‘ANZAC Day brings pride and pain for Aboriginal digger’s daughter’,25 April 2013.
