#OnThisDay in 1917, an Austro-Hungarian naval force of three cruisers, two destroyers and three submarines attacked the Otranto Barrage. The barrage was an Allied anti-submarine barrier manned primarily by armed trawlers.

Fourteen of the forty-seven drifters on the barrage at the time of the attack were sunk, and four were damaged.

Before Dawn (2024)

After leaving his family's sheep farm in the Australian outback, a young man joins his countrymen on the western front of World War I with hopes of helping expedite an end to the bloody conflict. But as war rages on, he is forced to grapple with the brutal realities of trench warfare, including a near-constant battle to keep himself alive—without leaving another man behind. Inspired by the real-life diary entries of local ANZACs, the feature film details the untold story of some of Australia’s greatest military victories.
