This booklet is about some of the Australian soldiers who fought in the 1942 Papuan battle. The subject is approached at a human rather than a military strategy level. It is a story of the recollections of these men. Sometimes from personal war diaries. Sometimes supplemented from published war histories. Sometimes from letters or published recollections - often published decades after the events. Tempus fugit - time moves on and when all else is gone the written word remains. This booklet is an attempt to preserve their stories in the written word.
