The stories of Australia’s Muslim Anzacs have long been forgotten. It’s time we honour them

"Among the many Australians who served during the second world war, there is a
small group of people whose stories remain largely untold. These are the Muslim
men and women who, while small in number, made significant contributions and
sacrifices during the war effort.

Living in the time of the White Australia Policy, they were simultaneously
wanted and rejected. Despite their sacrifices, many faced discrimination and
even deportation upon their return.

Our ongoing research is looking into the lives of Australian-Muslim servicemen
and women during WWII. In doing so, we have come across incredible stories of
sacrifice and hardship that reveal not all war veterans were treated equally,
nor are they all remembered the same."
