'A never forgotten moment for my people that went to First World War.' Fiona Clarke

'In March 2018, Aboriginal Kirrae Whurrong artist Fiona Clarke is invited to the Paris Book Fair to accompany 'Un homme de sagesse', the translation into French of 'Wisdom Man: Banjo Clarke as told to Camilla Chance', the bestseller book of her late father. For many years Fiona has wanted to visit the grave of her great uncle William Reginald Rawlings MM, who was a soldier during the Great War, fought in the Vauvillers battle of August 1918, and was posthumously awarded the Military Medal for his bravery. She is the first family member to visit the grave. Little does she know that a solemn and moving welcoming ceremony is awaiting her in Harbonnières, Somme, France...'
