The former chief historian of the Australian War Memorial has called for its chairman, Kerry Stokes, to stand down over his public and private support for soldiers accused of war crimes in Afghanistan | Gallo_Ways

Peter Stanley, who worked at the War Memorial for 27 years including as principal historian, said Mr Stokes was "discredited by his uncritical association with the accused".found Australian special forces soldiers allegedly committed 39 murders in Afghanistan

Mr Stokes last week promised to use a fund he created to help cover the legal costs of SAS members accused of war crimes. He said any premature move to acknowledge the report would be repeating the mistakes the War Memorial made in putting up an exhibit about the Afghanistan War when the conflict was still ongoing.
