Built in a single day in 1916 to house a wounded soldier and his family, Mt Hawthorn’s historic Anzac Cottage has stood as a memorial to Gallipoli’s veterans for more than a hundred years. Now the Friends of Anzac Cottage have launched a fundraiser to make a documentary telling its poignant and chilling story.
