Reception
The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that: "Ken Hall... has used the Anzac Day memorial services with effect... [the film] should rally the dilatory to the war bond booths. Muriel Steinbeck Is splendid... The mournful retrospection of... [the wife]... could with advantage be less insistent in the script, and more heartening implication and less exhortation be given to the propaganda angle of the narrative."Smith's Weekly said "Nothing is over-dramatised, and the mother...in the opening scenes particularly, is genuinely moving." The Age called it "impressive".
