In every conflict, there are countless stories. Some preserved in objects, some buried in archives, and many quietly carried in the memories of those who lived through it. This podcast brings them to light. Listen closely as historians, veterans, families, experts, curators and eyewitnesses share perspectives and details often missing from the headlines. From battlefield artefacts to fragile letters, museum collections and recorded histories, we follow the threads that connect individual lives to larger moments around the world. Through honest conversations and carefully researched storytelling, we discover how war shapes people. And how people, in turn, shape the stories we remember. An Australian War Memorial Official podcast. This series is brought to you by Leidos Australia.

Animals have served alongside Australians in every major conflict. They carried soldiers into battle, delivered life-saving messages, detected hidden dangers and offered comfort when it was needed most. But beyond their service lies an extraordinary story of trust, loyalty and companionship. From the Australian Light Horse to military working dogs and even an assistance cat helping a veteran recover from trauma, discover the remarkable bonds between humans and the animals that served alongside them. Featuring military working dog handler and founder of the Australian War Animal Memorial Organisation, Nigel Allsopp, this episode explores more than a century of conflict. And it uncovers the enduring relationships between people and the animals who served beside us. Show notes: Want to go deeper into the stories featured in this episode?
