Nigel Allsopp holds a master' s degree in history and teaches full time. He is a veteran himself and was awarded the RSL' s ANZAC of the Year award in 2017 for his charity work across the country. Nigel has been instrumental in ensuring Indigenous soldiers' history is told. After conducting research into Indigenous soldiers in the Boer War, Nigel was so touched by their brave service to a nation that had often not been kind to them that he raised funds and established Australia' s first Indigenous Light Horse memorial in Logan, Queensland. Nigel has published nine non-fiction books, which he has donated to numerous children' s hospitals, the Starlight Foundation and Ronald McDonald House.
