Orphans Of The Empire
Author(s): Alan Gill
This deeply moving book is about the 70,000 young so-called "orphans" who were shipped to Australia from Britain, from 1940 to the 1970's and sent to various homes and orphanages such as those run by the Christian Brothers, Barnados, and other groups. These were children from poor families who were told later their parents were dead.
