The first of September,
1939 marked the beginning of
00:00:24.02\00:00:28.29
World War II, a war that lasted
for six long and heart-wrenching
00:00:28.32\00:00:34.30
years. It was a time in history
that witnessed more carnage,
00:00:34.33\00:00:38.83
loss of lives,
property, and land damage
00:00:38.87\00:00:41.64
than any other war previously.
00:00:41.67\00:00:44.01
Families were torn apart by
the fighting, guns and bombs.
00:00:44.04\00:00:48.28
many children lost their
fathers, wives lost husbands,
00:00:48.31\00:00:52.41
and parents lost their sons.
00:00:52.45\00:00:54.85
A devastating figure from
50 to 70 million people are
00:00:54.88\00:01:00.99
estimated to
have died in this war.
00:01:01.02\00:01:02.99
The survival rate was
shocking and inhumane,
00:01:03.02\00:01:06.39
sadly, it's also estimated
that over 50% of all deaths
00:01:06.43\00:01:11.57
during this time
were innocent civilians.
00:01:11.60\00:01:14.77
The climax of World War II
would ultimately occur due to
00:01:14.80\00:01:20.01
the invention and use
of the lethal atomic bomb.
00:01:20.04\00:01:23.21
Two atomic bombs were dropped
on the Japanese cities of
00:01:23.24\00:01:26.68
Hiroshima and Nagasaki causing
about a quarter of a million
00:01:26.72\00:01:31.35
deaths and casualties.
00:01:31.39\00:01:32.79
It was only then that Japan
finally surrendered in 1945
00:01:32.82\00:01:38.46
and the war came to an end.
00:01:38.49\00:01:40.60
But how did a war started
by Germany and Europe end with
00:01:40.63\00:01:46.94
the United States of America
bombing Japan in the Pacific?
00:01:46.97\00:01:50.64
Well, a year into the
war in 1940, Japan signed the
00:01:50.67\00:01:56.61
Tripartite Pact with Germany
and Italy is becoming the third
00:01:56.64\00:02:00.62
country in the
alliance known as the axis.
00:02:00.65\00:02:05.15
Soon after this, several
countries, including America
00:02:05.19\00:02:09.39
withdrew economic
support from Japan.
00:02:09.42\00:02:12.56
With a shortage of oil
and other natural resources
00:02:12.59\00:02:16.80
Japan decided to aggressively
move its military to
00:02:16.83\00:02:21.07
Southeast Asia in order
to forcibly obtain more vital
00:02:21.10\00:02:25.17
resources so that they could
continue to supply their army
00:02:25.21\00:02:28.94
and their war effort.
00:02:28.98\00:02:30.31
Japan began two years of
successful military advances
00:02:30.35\00:02:35.65
in Asia and the South Pacific
which started with a surprise
00:02:35.68\00:02:39.82
air attack on Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii on the 7th of December
00:02:39.85\00:02:44.23
1941. This severely impacted the
American fleet and drew the U.S.
00:02:44.26\00:02:50.20
into the war.
00:02:50.23\00:02:51.57
Japan then wasted no time
in proceeding to conquer Guam,
00:02:51.60\00:02:56.71
Wake Island, Hong Kong, the
Philippines, Indonesia, Malaya,
00:02:56.74\00:03:01.44
Singapore and Burma.
00:03:01.48\00:03:03.31
Imperial Japan seemed
unstoppable, their troops
00:03:03.35\00:03:08.65
were on the move, and it
appeared that they would conquer
00:03:08.68\00:03:11.99
all of Asia and
the South Pacific.
00:03:12.02\00:03:13.86
Japan's success and its
reputation for being aggressive
00:03:13.89\00:03:19.03
and ruthless on the
battle- field appeared ominous
00:03:19.06\00:03:22.70
for the next country
and its sights New Guinea
00:03:22.73\00:03:25.53
and it would have been conquered
just as quickly as Guam and
00:03:25.57\00:03:29.07
the Philippines, if it wasn't
for the Australian, American,
00:03:29.10\00:03:32.44
and local New Guinea soldiers
and civilians fighting to
00:03:32.47\00:03:37.38
protect this land from invasion.
00:03:37.41\00:03:39.21
On the 8th of March
1942, the Japanese landed in
00:03:39.25\00:03:44.99
what was then known as
New Guinea, now known as
00:03:45.02\00:03:48.12
Papua New Guinea and west
Papua, which is now part of
00:03:48.16\00:03:51.89
Indonesia. This was one of
the toughest and longest battles
00:03:51.93\00:03:56.40
of World War II due to the
mountainous terrain, isolation,
00:03:56.43\00:04:01.44
dense jungle, intense heat,
and many tropical diseases.
00:04:01.47\00:04:05.94
The Australian and American
armies were filled with soldiers
00:04:05.97\00:04:10.68
loyal, strong, and courageous,
and one such soldier was
00:04:10.71\00:04:15.78
Corporal Leslie Charles
Allen, he was larger than life
00:04:15.82\00:04:20.16
and is best known for his heroic
actions during the battle at
00:04:20.19\00:04:24.99
Mt. Tambu, the highest point
on the track that ran between
00:04:25.03\00:04:29.50
Salamaua and Mubo in
Southeastern New Guinea.
00:04:29.53\00:04:33.47
During this fierce battle,
Leslie Allen, nicknamed Bull
00:04:33.50\00:04:39.37
Allen because of his size and
strength displayed unbelievable
00:04:39.41\00:04:44.08
courage and bravery amidst
intense pressure and danger.
00:04:44.11\00:04:48.12
Bull Allen's story, his
endeavors, his tough childhood,
00:04:48.15\00:04:52.89
and the leader and man he
became is nothing short of
00:04:52.92\00:04:57.26
inspirational.
00:04:57.29\00:04:58.73
Join me, Gary Kent as we
follow in the footsteps of
00:04:58.76\00:05:03.30
Leslie Bull Allen through
the mud and misery of the
00:05:03.33\00:05:06.90
New Guinea Campaign.
00:05:06.94\00:05:08.27
His story will
encourage you and inspire you.
00:05:08.30\00:05:12.47
The town of Ballarat is
located in the central highlands
00:05:32.06\00:05:35.36
of Victoria, Australia.
00:05:35.40\00:05:37.93
The Ballarat region was
first occupied by the Australian
00:05:37.97\00:05:41.50
indigenous Wadawurrung
people, but it wasn't until
00:05:41.54\00:05:45.54
August of 1851 that significant
growth and settlement
00:05:45.57\00:05:50.18
in the area occurred to
the discovery of Gold by
00:05:50.21\00:05:53.92
Thomas Hiscock, this led to
the start of what is Now known
00:05:53.95\00:05:58.65
as the Victorian Gold Rush.
00:05:58.69\00:06:00.76
Within three months
of the initial discovery,
00:06:00.79\00:06:03.83
several deep mining leads were
open and shanty towns sprang up.
00:06:03.86\00:06:08.66
At its peak in 1858, there
were a staggering 60,000 people
00:06:08.70\00:06:15.20
living in Ballarat, however,
once the transient gold mining
00:06:15.24\00:06:19.81
population moved
onto other gold diggings,
00:06:19.84\00:06:23.14
the tents and shacks of
those 23,000 that remained
00:06:23.18\00:06:27.68
gradually transformed
into more solid stone and brick
00:06:27.72\00:06:32.59
structures. The makeshift mining
town turned into an established
00:06:32.62\00:06:36.56
township by 1859.
00:06:36.59\00:06:38.46
Today, Ballarat has a population
of about 120,000, making it
00:06:38.49\00:06:46.94
the third largest city
in the state of Victoria.
00:06:46.97\00:06:49.60
The history of this gold rush
era is still highly important
00:06:49.64\00:06:54.61
to the people of Ballarat
and to this day there is a
00:06:54.64\00:06:57.98
tourist attraction
called Sovereign Hill.
00:06:58.01\00:07:01.02
This is a place where
visitors stood back in time
00:07:01.05\00:07:04.99
and experience the life
and pulse of the Gold Rush era.
00:07:05.02\00:07:09.56
and learned what this important
period around the 1850s meant
00:07:09.59\00:07:14.40
for the future of the town.
00:07:14.43\00:07:16.16
But there is something
else that is significant about
00:07:16.20\00:07:20.17
Ballarat, which has
brought us here today.
00:07:20.20\00:07:22.77
This is the hometown of the war
hero Leslie Bull Charles Allen.
00:07:22.80\00:07:28.81
who was born here in 1918,
although he was raised here.
00:07:28.84\00:07:34.02
He didn't have a
typical upbringing,
00:07:34.05\00:07:36.38
you see, Bull and his
sister Violet were abandoned
00:07:36.42\00:07:40.52
as children and raised in
a local orphanage in their
00:07:40.56\00:07:44.63
early years of life
were very difficult.
00:07:44.66\00:07:47.46
He had a cruel father, sort
of thing and in the end of time
00:07:47.50\00:07:52.27
him and his sister ended
up in the Ballarat Orphanage
00:07:52.30\00:07:57.57
after he'd been in the
orphanage about 11 years old
00:07:57.61\00:08:01.48
he'd just thought he
would go out and work,
00:08:01.51\00:08:03.38
he didn't have a very
good education at all.
00:08:03.41\00:08:06.48
He went out to work on the
farms on the western district
00:08:06.51\00:08:10.89
just doing odd jobs, working
with horses from picking up
00:08:10.92\00:08:15.32
a few off skills on the way
and he did that right up until
00:08:15.36\00:08:19.89
he probably
enlisted in the military.
00:08:19.93\00:08:23.20
He volunteered to join
the army when the II world War
00:08:23.23\00:08:26.84
broke out at the age of
21. He was used to working
00:08:26.87\00:08:30.84
hard and had grown into a
powerfully built and strong man.
00:08:30.87\00:08:34.54
His physique, coupled
with his boisterous personality
00:08:34.58\00:08:39.45
soon mean that Bull would
become one of the most popular
00:08:39.48\00:08:43.89
recognizable
characters in his battalion.
00:08:43.92\00:08:46.86
In 1940, Bull Allen was
assigned to the 2nd Australian
00:08:46.89\00:08:52.09
Imperial Force, it was not
long before he was posted as
00:08:52.13\00:08:56.60
reinforcement for the
2/5th Australian Infantry
00:08:56.63\00:09:00.37
Battalion of the 17th Brigade.
00:09:00.40\00:09:02.94
Bull Allen decided to be a
medic as he wants to save life
00:09:02.97\00:09:08.18
rather than take it.
00:09:08.21\00:09:09.58
His first destination was
Palestine in the Middle East
00:09:09.61\00:09:15.72
where he would begin his
training as a stretcher bearer
00:09:15.75\00:09:19.59
for The Dawn Company.
00:09:19.62\00:09:21.32
It was in Palestine that Leslie
Allen soon earned the nickname
00:09:21.36\00:09:26.56
Bull Allen. While playing some
football during some down time
00:09:26.59\00:09:30.70
Bull established his reputation
as a rugged individual
00:09:31.13\00:09:34.50
who could powerfully
charge straight ahead through
00:09:34.54\00:09:37.87
defenders.
00:09:37.91\00:09:39.51
His teammates considered
he ran like a bull and
00:09:39.54\00:09:42.81
the name stuck. What his fellow
soldiers didn't know at the time
00:09:42.84\00:09:47.22
was that Bull would
carry that same spirit
00:09:47.25\00:09:51.15
onto the battlefield, charging
through bullets and enemy lines
00:09:51.19\00:09:55.22
in order to save the lives
of his comrades and allies.
00:09:55.26\00:09:59.76
These acts of bravery
made him a decorated war hero.
00:09:59.79\00:10:04.27
Bull went on to serve in
the Middle East and North Africa
00:10:04.30\00:10:08.60
including battles in Libya
and Syria, and during this time
00:10:08.64\00:10:13.27
his reputation as
Bull Allen didn't waver.
00:10:13.31\00:10:16.98
He had immense courage
under fire and was persistent in
00:10:17.01\00:10:21.38
retrieving injured
soldiers during battles.
00:10:21.42\00:10:24.45
He fearlessly risked his
life to help fallen comrades
00:10:24.49\00:10:30.79
His fellow Australian troops
affectionately referred to
00:10:30.83\00:10:37.07
Les Allen as Al
Bull, the one man army.
00:10:37.10\00:10:41.37
In 1943, after serving in
the Middle East, the 2/5th
00:10:41.40\00:10:46.54
Australian Infantry Battalion
was sent to defensive operations
00:10:46.57\00:10:51.05
in the jungles of New
Guinea against the Japanese.
00:10:51.08\00:10:54.22
This is where Bull Allen's
heroism came to the forefront
00:10:54.25\00:10:59.29
as part of the Wild Salamaua
Campaign Bull served bravely
00:10:59.32\00:11:04.86
as a stretcher bearer. On
the mountain tracks his strength
00:11:04.89\00:11:09.56
stamina, and devotion to
his comrades were invaluable.
00:11:09.60\00:11:13.90
During a battle at Chrystal
Creek on the 7th of February
00:11:13.94\00:11:18.27
1943, a platoon was pinned
down in the open under intense
00:11:18.31\00:11:24.68
Japanese machine gun fire.
00:11:24.71\00:11:26.28
Three men were wounded and
two were killed, Bull Allen
00:11:26.31\00:11:31.65
rushed out in the face
of this machine gun fire
00:11:31.69\00:11:34.19
pushing one soldier,
Corporal Kelley out of danger
00:11:34.22\00:11:37.93
over a small bank. Then
hoisted him over his shoulder
00:11:37.96\00:11:41.66
and carried him
up a hill to safety.
00:11:41.70\00:11:44.43
During this daring rescue, Bull
Allen received a bullet through
00:11:44.47\00:11:49.34
the haversack he was
carrying on his back,
00:11:49.37\00:11:51.44
the haversack saved his life.
00:11:51.47\00:11:54.34
But this close shave with
death didn't slow him down,
00:11:54.38\00:11:58.55
Bull Allen relentlessly went out
and cared many of these fallen
00:11:58.58\00:12:03.28
comrades during intense
fire from the Japanese forces.
00:12:03.32\00:12:06.86
The following day, the
18th Battalion was surrounded
00:12:06.89\00:12:10.73
and pinned down by Japanese
snipers, one soldier was killed
00:12:10.76\00:12:15.33
and two were wounded.
00:12:15.36\00:12:17.27
Bull Allen made three
separate trips to recover them,
00:12:17.30\00:12:21.57
Bull Allen's efforts were
noticed and he was awarded the
00:12:21.60\00:12:26.88
Military Medal from the
Australian Army for outstanding
00:12:26.91\00:12:31.18
bravery and his
actions on the battlefield.
00:12:31.21\00:12:33.62
A section on the citation reads
00:12:33.65\00:12:36.65
Even with all the carnage
and brutality that Bull Allen
00:12:46.59\00:12:52.03
had experienced, no one knew
that the worst was yet to come.
00:12:52.07\00:12:56.47
Just a few months later,
Bull Allen would arrive at his
00:12:56.50\00:13:01.04
most significant battle,
this battle was the one that
00:13:01.08\00:13:04.78
he is remembered for
above all others, not only were
00:13:04.81\00:13:09.08
his actions Signiant
but at the right moment.
00:13:09.12\00:13:12.22
His picture was taken,
there is a famous image of an
00:13:12.29\00:13:17.13
Australian soldier carrying
a wounded comrade across
00:13:17.16\00:13:20.40
his shoulder, it's a
photo that is recognizable to
00:13:20.43\00:13:24.10
many Australians and symbolizes
incredible dedication to duty
00:13:24.13\00:13:29.64
and mateship.
00:13:29.67\00:13:31.01
This picture, which was
later modeled in a sculpture
00:13:31.04\00:13:34.94
is proudly displayed at
the prestigious Australian War
00:13:34.98\00:13:38.75
Memorial in
Canberra to this day.
00:13:38.78\00:13:41.12
This image is none other than
Bull Allen, who had run into
00:13:41.15\00:13:46.72
intense enemy fire to
save American wounded soldiers
00:13:46.76\00:13:50.73
at the Battle of Mount Tambu.
00:13:50.76\00:13:52.83
The figure of Bull Allen
carrying the wounded to safety
00:13:52.86\00:13:57.10
was unmistakable because
he preferred to carry them
00:13:57.13\00:14:01.34
around his ample
shoulders in the fireman's grip
00:14:01.37\00:14:04.21
rather than use a stretcher
which required two men,
00:14:04.24\00:14:07.88
but this photo only captured
one of the men he rescued.
00:14:07.91\00:14:12.88
One, two, three, four,
he kept going back out,
00:14:12.91\00:14:17.95
five, six, seven, eight, the
odds were not in Bulls' favor
00:14:17.99\00:14:22.59
to come back at all, but
he did, time and time again.
00:14:22.62\00:14:27.40
Even though there were snipers,
machine guns and mortar bombs
00:14:27.43\00:14:32.40
exploding and buzzing
around them constantly,
00:14:32.43\00:14:35.47
this didn't stop Bull Allen
from continually going back out
00:14:35.50\00:14:40.04
to rescue wounded
and unconscious soldiers
00:14:40.08\00:14:42.91
even though he was wounded
himself and two other medics
00:14:42.94\00:14:47.45
had been killed in
trying to rescue people.
00:14:47.48\00:14:50.19
Bull Allen still went out
and charge through the bullets
00:14:50.22\00:14:54.49
saving his American
comrades against all odds.
00:14:54.52\00:14:58.66
His story and
David Cranage shares...
00:14:58.69\00:15:02.30
David Cranage sums up
the entire events with
00:15:23.15\00:15:27.32
three powerful words...
00:15:27.36\00:15:29.46
The number of rescued soldiers
continued to rise, nine, ten,
00:15:33.80\00:15:39.03
eleven, twelve, at least a
dozen American men were rescued
00:15:39.07\00:15:44.44
that day, the 30th of July,
1943 by an Australian soldier.
00:15:44.47\00:15:49.74
More than a dozen men
were now able to go on and live
00:15:49.78\00:15:53.95
to now have the hope
of going home to see their
00:15:53.98\00:15:57.39
families again, to face another
day, all due to the bravery
00:15:57.42\00:16:02.56
of one man, Bull Allen.
00:16:02.59\00:16:05.39
When he was put under pressure
he probably didn't show a lot
00:16:05.43\00:16:08.00
of sign of fear on anything
like that, even though there
00:16:08.03\00:16:12.00
were things happening around
him, he was able to overcome all
00:16:12.03\00:16:15.54
that and went and go and did the
job as what he was trying to do
00:16:15.57\00:16:19.84
as a stretcher bearer, late?
when he was under fire, and he
00:16:19.87\00:16:22.71
was forced them out of every
shelter, and while he's probably
00:16:22.74\00:16:26.41
treating them first, sort
of thing and assessing the
00:16:26.45\00:16:28.95
casualties and what they have
to do and then he'd carry them
00:16:28.98\00:16:32.09
out to safety sort of
thing and going back out again.
00:16:32.12\00:16:35.16
In the official statement that
says he did it 12 times, but
00:16:35.19\00:16:39.89
over his paper cuttings,
he'd say that he did it
00:16:39.93\00:16:43.10
seven, eight times
so no one really knows
00:16:43.13\00:16:45.70
exactly what the
strength of it was.
00:16:45.73\00:16:48.34
These are dad's medals,
the campaign medal is there,
00:16:48.70\00:16:53.17
that's the Military Medal,
and that was awarded for bravery
00:16:53.21\00:16:58.08
at Crystal Creek, this
is the American Silver Star
00:16:58.11\00:17:01.22
which was awarded to him
for bravery at Mt. Tambu' s
00:17:01.25\00:17:05.69
for saving the Americans.
00:17:05.72\00:17:07.16
Bull was awarded the Prestigious
United States Silver Star
00:17:07.19\00:17:11.86
one of America's
highest military honors for a
00:17:11.89\00:17:15.43
non-American honoring Bull's
bravery and services to America
00:17:15.46\00:17:21.17
in the Allied Corps.
00:17:21.20\00:17:22.77
Many people extended
their congratulations to him
00:17:22.80\00:17:26.61
including the wife of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
00:17:26.64\00:17:30.25
Eleanor Roosevelt.
00:17:30.28\00:17:32.21
Receiving this medal in
early 1945 was a high point for
00:17:32.25\00:17:37.22
Bull Allen, who had been
struggling immensely with
00:17:37.25\00:17:40.82
processing all the sadness
of war that he had encountered
00:17:40.86\00:17:44.86
in the previous years.
00:17:44.89\00:17:46.36
Cracks started to show in
Bull Allen's mental health
00:17:46.39\00:17:50.67
even as early as in his
first campaign in Libya.
00:17:50.70\00:17:54.30
He'd been hospitalized
with a condition they called
00:17:54.34\00:17:57.64
anxiety neurosis, now it's a
broad term that was first coined
00:17:57.67\00:18:03.71
by Sigmund Freud, and
has led to deeper research
00:18:03.75\00:18:07.68
into all anxiety disorders.
00:18:07.72\00:18:09.82
Overall, it's a condition
where someone may experience an
00:18:09.85\00:18:15.16
excessive ongoing and intense
fear about ordinary daily
00:18:15.19\00:18:20.03
situations. Yet, after
his diagnosis Bull Allen was
00:18:20.06\00:18:25.70
soon discharged and went
on to serve in his next battle
00:18:25.73\00:18:29.30
in Syria and
eventually in New Guinea.
00:18:29.34\00:18:32.04
These years of front-line
battles took a large toll
00:18:32.07\00:18:36.81
on Bull, in 1944, Bull Allen
and his battalion was sent back
00:18:36.85\00:18:42.62
to Queensland, Australia,
to continue their training,
00:18:42.65\00:18:45.99
where would they be sent next?
00:18:46.02\00:18:48.12
Would they come home safely?
from their next deployment?
00:18:48.36\00:18:52.53
Unfortunately, Bull Allen
would never find out the answers
00:18:52.56\00:18:57.73
to these questions.
00:18:57.77\00:18:59.10
Although Bull never showed
fear in front of his fellow
00:18:59.13\00:19:02.74
soldiers, his war service
undoubtedly affected him,
00:19:02.77\00:19:06.74
in late 1944, emotions
welled up inside Bull Allen,
00:19:06.78\00:19:11.58
some say he was suffering from
shell-shock, today it's called
00:19:11.61\00:19:16.38
post-traumatic stress disorder.
00:19:16.42\00:19:18.72
Anger, fear, anxiety,
resentment, a myriad of feelings
00:19:18.75\00:19:24.49
that were circulating
through his heart and mind.
00:19:24.53\00:19:27.16
One day those feelings
culminated into an outburst of
00:19:27.20\00:19:33.13
emotions and in a moment of high
anxiety he struck an officer
00:19:33.17\00:19:37.64
and was demoted from
Corporal back to Private.
00:19:37.67\00:19:41.34
Consequently, Bull Allen's
mental health continued to
00:19:41.38\00:19:46.38
deteriorate, he was again
assessed and diagnosed this time
00:19:46.41\00:19:51.52
with constitutional tempermental
instability and anxiety
00:19:51.55\00:19:58.16
symptoms. As well as this,
Bull also suffered with physical
00:19:58.19\00:20:03.93
ailments through
several bouts of malaria too.
00:20:03.97\00:20:06.94
Soon after these events, Bull
Allen was deemed medically unfit
00:20:06.97\00:20:12.34
for service and was
discharged from the military.
00:20:12.37\00:20:15.98
His military career was over
and the life he had come to know
00:20:16.01\00:20:20.28
over the last
several years had now ended.
00:20:20.32\00:20:23.52
After all of the adrenaline of
fighting ceased after all of the
00:20:23.55\00:20:28.86
accolades and congratulations
go silent, what is left?
00:20:28.89\00:20:33.46
Just your thoughts,
your memories, and these were
00:20:33.50\00:20:38.33
hard to live with for Bull
Allen he had witnessed a lot of
00:20:38.37\00:20:42.17
devastation, death,
and destruction through his
00:20:42.20\00:20:45.47
war experiences, from friends
dying before his very eyes
00:20:45.51\00:20:49.74
to bullets and bombs
coming within centimeters
00:20:49.78\00:20:53.62
of taking his own life.
00:20:53.65\00:20:55.82
His body had been forced into
hyperdrive for hours on end.
00:20:55.88\00:21:00.89
every loud crash of a frying
pan, or crack from a firework
00:21:00.96\00:21:05.39
would bring back a
flood of sickening memories.
00:21:05.43\00:21:08.66
They clouded his mind
even when he was back at home
00:21:08.70\00:21:12.43
where he could
enjoy safety and freedom,
00:21:12.47\00:21:15.10
he found it very difficult.
00:21:15.14\00:21:19.11
So, whatever happened
to Bull Allen, once he had
00:21:19.14\00:21:23.75
left the military? Well in
1949 Bull married his sweetheart
00:21:23.78\00:21:29.25
Jane Elizabeth Floyd, who had
served in the army as a nurse.
00:21:29.28\00:21:33.19
Just before the wedding, he
received a surprise in a post
00:21:33.22\00:21:38.09
a letter from Eleanor
Roosevelt, the letter read;
00:21:38.13\00:21:42.70
Dear Mr. Allen, I've
just heard that you were
00:21:42.73\00:21:46.60
going to be married on
April 25, and I send you my
00:21:46.63\00:21:50.24
congratulations and best wishes.
00:21:50.27\00:21:52.81
Very Sincerely
Yours, Eleanor Roosevelt
00:21:52.84\00:21:56.85
The letter was
personally signed.
00:21:56.88\00:22:00.52
Bull Allen's marriage to
Jean brought encouragement,
00:22:00.55\00:22:05.15
love and support, it was
good to have someone by his side
00:22:05.19\00:22:08.66
who had an understanding of
the things he had gone through.
00:22:08.72\00:22:12.16
However, she would need
to have patience and kindness
00:22:12.19\00:22:16.10
through Bull's post-traumatic
Episodes which still occurred
00:22:16.13\00:22:20.44
from time to time.
00:22:20.47\00:22:21.80
He would of experienced
seeing his own mates being shot
00:22:21.84\00:22:26.11
or killed or wounded, it
would have to have an impact
00:22:26.14\00:22:29.58
on your life. Mom and
dad they stayed together and
00:22:29.61\00:22:32.41
they worked together,
and they'd raise a family and
00:22:32.45\00:22:34.75
after what he went through,
I think it was one of his
00:22:34.78\00:22:38.15
best friends.
00:22:38.19\00:22:39.75
One of the worst
occasions that affected Bull
00:22:39.79\00:22:42.39
was when he lost his ability
to speak for a six-month period.
00:22:42.42\00:22:46.36
Imagine the struggle of silence,
this must have been such a
00:22:46.39\00:22:51.37
dark place for Bull, to
not be able to utter a word,
00:22:51.40\00:22:55.40
the turmoil and
distress in someone's heart
00:22:55.44\00:22:59.41
after experiencing deep
and intense trauma is hard to
00:22:59.44\00:23:03.91
fathom for those who never
experienced such devastation
00:23:03.95\00:23:08.12
and heartache, but
Jean continued to love Bull
00:23:08.15\00:23:12.32
through these times.
00:23:12.35\00:23:13.76
And who knows the troubles that
Jean also needed to work through
00:23:13.79\00:23:17.69
with the support of Bull?
00:23:17.73\00:23:19.43
They celebrated the birth
of three healthy sons and a
00:23:19.46\00:23:23.93
beautiful daughter
together and they raised them in
00:23:23.97\00:23:27.47
Bull Allen's
hometown of Ballarat.
00:23:27.50\00:23:29.74
Bull Allen worked as a laborer
initially, but soon began work
00:23:29.77\00:23:34.88
in Ballarat Base
Hospital as a theater attendant.
00:23:34.91\00:23:38.65
The family lived on the
outskirts Ballarat Township
00:23:38.68\00:23:42.48
so that they could own
a small acreage of land.
00:23:42.52\00:23:45.85
Bull loved being outside
and had enough land where
00:23:45.89\00:23:49.82
they could raise
livestock and break-in horses.
00:23:49.86\00:23:53.09
The work of breaking-in and
stubborn often abandoned horses
00:23:53.13\00:23:57.57
was probably very meaningful
to Bull, could he himself
00:23:57.60\00:24:01.70
relate to these horses?
Bull was abandoned by his own
00:24:01.74\00:24:06.11
parents and broken from
his war-time experiences
00:24:06.14\00:24:09.74
but he knew that love and
care can help you to bring you
00:24:09.78\00:24:14.48
through these things
into a healthier and happier
00:24:14.52\00:24:17.45
relationships. His passion
for helping the horses perhaps
00:24:17.49\00:24:22.56
stem from his own story
and what he needed himself.
00:24:22.59\00:24:26.26
Bull Allen was a very well-known
and popular figure around
00:24:26.29\00:24:30.90
Ballarat, he could also be
seen every Anzac Day, April 25
00:24:30.93\00:24:36.27
carrying the 2/5th Battalion
Banner down the St. Kilda Road
00:24:36.30\00:24:41.58
in Melbourne towards
The Shrine of Remembrance.
00:24:41.61\00:24:44.35
In his later years, Bull
Allen joyfully served at the
00:24:44.38\00:24:48.72
Sovereign Hill recreated
gold mining town, manning the
00:24:48.75\00:24:52.75
horse-drawn courts crushing
stand, sadly, Leslie bull Allen
00:24:52.79\00:24:58.93
passed away on
the 11th of May, 1982.
00:24:58.96\00:25:02.50
Even though Bull Allen is
lesser known than some other
00:25:02.53\00:25:07.14
major Australian war heroes,
his impact still lingers and
00:25:07.17\00:25:11.77
his brave actions will be
remembered for decades to come.
00:25:11.81\00:25:15.61
Maybe you have felt like
Bull Allen, in some instances
00:25:20.42\00:25:24.65
of your life, maybe you've
never faced physical bullets,
00:25:24.69\00:25:28.46
but perhaps you have felt
like you've been running through
00:25:28.49\00:25:31.83
situations where you felt
under attack, like everything
00:25:31.86\00:25:35.50
is against you and
you're struggling to keep going,
00:25:35.53\00:25:38.67
to keep fighting and enduring.
00:25:38.70\00:25:40.84
We all have times when we
feel afraid, we've all had
00:25:40.87\00:25:45.24
periods of our lives when we
feel anxious where our thoughts
00:25:45.27\00:25:49.84
in our heads feel like they're
dragging us over and over
00:25:49.88\00:25:53.78
again into our
traumatic past, or maybe the
00:25:53.82\00:25:57.39
thoughts in our head are
over- analyzing the future
00:25:57.42\00:26:01.02
with a sense of dread.
00:26:01.06\00:26:02.82
If you've been facing difficult
times and would like to
00:26:02.86\00:26:07.33
try a Bible-based solution,
when you feel overwhelmed,
00:26:07.36\00:26:10.87
stressed and anxious,
