- productDescription:
- <p>On Valentine’s Day 1916, soldiers from a number of training camps in the Liverpool area rioted in protest at their conditions. After months of unrest, tempers boiled over as some 3,000 soldiers decided to strike. After fuelling their anger in local pubs, they swarmed onto trains at Liverpool Station, bound for Sydney’s CBD.</p><p>Although short-lived, the riots caused widespread damage and contributed to the death of a recruit and the injury of others. The incident also led to the introduction of 6pm closing in New South Wales hotels, a law which lasted for almost 40 years.</p>
