This program tells the lesser-known story of Corporal Leslie ‘Bull’ Allen, raised in an orphanage in Ballarat located in regional Victoria. He became a courageous and complex war hero. In World War II, ‘Bull’ Allen was a stretcher bearer in the Australian Army. His photo was famously captured during the battle of Mt Tambu, New Guinea, where Bull repeatedly ran into heavy enemy fire to carry out more than a dozen wounded men. His bravery made him a decorated war hero, and his image still hangs proudly in the Australian War Memorial. Bull’s story displays immense heroism and shows the devastating and long-lasting effects war can have on humans. A lot can be learned from this inspiring war hero, both during his time at war and especially after.
