The bravest scout at Gallipoli: remembering forgotten war hero Harry Freame

Every year, on April 25 Australians gather to make a promise. That at the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them. But memory is a slippery thing, and some stories slide through the cracks, lost to time and history. Among them is Harry Freame – a name that barely registers when we speak of the legend of the Anzacs, even though, in his day, he was celebrated in the Australian press as the “Marvel of Gallipoli.” Hear from Ryan Butta, the author of a new book about the truly amazing Harry Freame. His feats at Gallipoli are only one part of this man's truly incredible story.
