Borella Ride celebrates NT war hero
THE remarkable effort of the NT's greatest war hero to enlist in WWI has been re-enacted by his grandson over a 12-day journey from Tennant Creek to Darwin
WHEN Albert Borella charged a German machine gun post with a revolver on the Western Front in 1918, he likely didn't even turn his head, because he knew his men would follow him.
SUCH was the action of a man often described as a born leader during a "short, sharp and bloody" battle for which he won the Northern Territory's only Victoria Cross.
