Here in NZ we have many movies about the Maori Battalion who fought in WW1 and thier smartass tactics :D my great grandfather is mentioned in many of these movies.
America has a movies out about Windtalkers' depicting the input by thier indians..
However Australia has nothing out about the Aboriginies who fought alongside them.
War is never a great debate but at the end of the day we have much to be thankful for because of it.
