Just read the story about the guys who kept the Japanese at bay in New Guinea (Kokoda Trail, I believe?). Amazing story. Those guys were truly heroes of the first order.
My grandad was almost involved in that. Came down to drawing names from a hat for extra men from his unit.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Lest we forget.

On poppy day there were soldiers dressed in old uniforms in the square.  A willys jeep was parked up, and someone was flying a mustang overhead.  Was grand.

edit: The Aussies erected a statue of a kiwi digger on ANZAC bridge in Sydney, cheers Australia!
