		Thanks to the advocacy of the RSL and similar bodies, Australia has an enviable record of caring for veterans.
		When Marcel Caux broke his silence about his war service — encouraged by Rusty Priest — he told of the cool reception he and his mates received when they returned in 1919, and how the simple fact that he could walk made him ineligible for a pension.
		Today of course we know more about the full effects of war — how the mind as well as the body can be crippled by combat, and that the impact is often invisible, felt many years after and shared by husbands, wives and children.
