      Kate my duck I'm from Nottingham.. the main reason you don't know is because when those men came home the never wanted to talk about it.. it was beyond belief how bad it was. They couldn't open up and talk like people are encouraged to do now.. people/children of today can't compromise the brutal hard ship of those men. My great uncle was an RSM in the jungle's he would have nightmares and sleep walk. And basically strangle his wife and kids when he was extremely low.. but they understood why. And still forgave him. He hated who he became and wanted his life to end on a number of occasions... extremely sad.

    No big deal but the artillery being dragged up the mountain was in September 1942 at the start of the Kokoda Trail, not at the Gap. It looks like half of the film is set in 1942. The gent shown at 1.10 of the film was taken 5, October 1942 near Menari on the Kokoda Trail. He is Pte Robert Steele a member of the vickers machine-gun crew of the 2/33rd infantry Battalion A.I.F. Same trooper and other members of the gun crew shown shortly after crossing a creek.

      They've used Damien Parer's footage selectively, as they did with his Kokoda - Front Line and Road To Kakoda newsreels which had lots of Kanga Force content far away from the Kokoda Track... Some of the most famous images of Kokoda from these newsreels are not from Kokoda at all.
      (My Grandad Robbie - Lieutenant Gilbert Stuart Robertson served with the NGVR which joined Kanga Force...)

      Japan bombed the city of Darwin, and midget submarines attacked Sydney Harbour. The Japanese army never set foot in Australia. A popular myth is that Japan was attempting to invade; in reality, there were no plans to launch a full scale invasion of Australia.

      The Japanese tried like hell to take Port Moresby but were continually fought back.
      Tojo's plan was to set up a base at Port Moresby New Guinea. Australians held the line with some help from American GIs that showed up in November of 1942... My Dad was with the 32d American Division
