Anatole France is quoted as having said: "from legends do men draw ideas necessary to their existence. If our heroes prove to be immortal, then so . . . perhaps . . . are we."

Tasman Millington was a man who clearly understood that sentiment. For more than forty years he quietly crafted and moulded the physical part of the ANZAC legend, devoting his life to the fallen heroes of Gallipoli. As a former ANZAC himself, Millington made it his life's mission to see that an everlasting memorial to our brave soldiers was created on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

Millington fought in two world wars but he believed the best service he ever gave his country was through his devoted work for the War Graves Commission.

'Millington's Mission' is more than a story of war. It is the story of people, and in particular one man who never sought fame or accolades for himself, only the honour of being a custodian of the ANZAC legends.
