Seven Soldier Sons

Seven Soldier Sons Seven Australian brothers who served with the AIF during WW2. Four of the brothers died tragically i Of the seven brothers, only three returned home.

In World War Two, seven Hutchins brothers from Woorinen, near Swan Hill in Victoria, enlisted to protect and fight for the country they loved. All seven served with the AIF in different conflicts - from desert sands of the Middle East, Tobruk, Syria & North Africa, to the tropical Islands in the Pacific - New Guinea, Rabaul & Ambon. Four of the brothers died tragically under barbaric Japanese impr

isonment, or trying to escape it. The surviving three brothers, who returned to Australia at the end of the War, carried physical and psychological scars from their experiences. Their brother’s horrific fates were not known until the 2nd of February 1946, when parents Henry and Mary Hutchins received the first of four telegrams. Three more would arrive together within the week and a family would be torn apart.
