From Russian Anzacs in Australian History:

Julian Orlov was another political refugee who combined farming, on land at Bilambil soldiers' settlement (New South Wales), with his literary endeavours. Orlov had initially fought with the Zion Mule Corps and was wounded at Gallipoli before switching to the AIF, finally being severely wounded in France.
