The stories of Chinese Anzacs have tended to be untold within the larger story of the First World War. During the Anzac Centenary, there has been renewed interest in understanding the experiences of Australia’s diverse cultural groups during the First World War. Chinese Anzacs served in many roles and in many theatres of war. The stories in this book shed light on individual wartime experiences, the challenges of being an Australian soldier of Chinese ancestry, as well as the challenges for such soldiers on return to civilian life. While the recruitment polices at the time were racially discriminatory, most Chinese-Australians who successfully enlisted completed their war service with the acceptance and respect of their fellow soldiers.
