The Worlds Best Kept Secret of World War II

The Worlds Best Kept Secret of World War II

We have assembled a YouTube video and a GoPetition concerning Australia's long overdue recognition of the Timorese people's sacrifices during World War II.
Please send these links to people you know, asking them to send them on to others.  We are particularly keen to bring this to the attention of young people, so that they will learn about what happened and be moved to add their voice to the growing number of people who think that recognition should be given.
With the online petition we can reach many people across the world, giving them an opportunity to advise Australia to salute Timor-Leste in this way.
One of the most encouraging results of this campaign so far is the number of people who thanked us for telling the story, many saying that they knew nothing about it.
Let us continue to tell this remarkable tale and to work towards a proper acknowledgement of Timor's unique wartime history in Australia's regard.
