01 | Myths Of War — The white feather women and their unwelcome gifts
Update: 2019-12-01
Description
Did young women really hand out white feathers to young men who didn’t enlist in the services during the First World War? It sounds like a myth, but there are lost limbs and lost lives to attest that the white feathers were real. A relative of a prominent Australian historian joined up when he received a white feather and returned from the front with only one leg.
Written and presented by Dr Mark Dapin.
