Vera Hill speaks briefly about her brother, Dennis Wilmot, who served in the Army. She is unsure of exactly where or when he served, but it must have been during the late 1950s. Vera says Dennis was wounded but does not know any details about this. She does know that when he returned home he was clearly upset and affected by his service, but did not speak to Vera or other close family about why.

This interview took place on 31 March 2014 in Brisbane and was conducted by Professor Mick Dodson with Craig Greene as part of the Australian Research Council-funded research project Serving our Country: a history of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the defence of Australia.
