Morris is one of 25 family members to have worn the uniform, and his involvement comes as the RSL seeks to acknowledge and recognize Indigenous servicemen and women. Morris is working to "undo 200-plus years of trauma" and is advocating for redress to First Peoples who were denied soldier settlement blocks.
