The poem Invictus, written by William Ernest Henley in 1875 and first published in 1888 inspired the naming of the games for those servicemen and women physically and mentally damaged whilst serving their country. Almost 500 from eighteen countries competed in eleven sports and description of the events lead into the stories of many of our Australian competitors’ background, struggles and recent successes in life.
