The FIRST defeats suffered by the Jap.Army in WW2 were by the Australians at Milne Bay and on the Kokoda Track.
Ex Melbourne F.C. footballer SQ.Leader Keith "Bluey" Truscott led the Kittyhawk P40s straffing the Japs who had reached the edge of the airfield.
If these had been American victories Hollywood would have enshrined these heroic deeds on celluloid.
Many of us still remember fondly our noble Aussie and Kiwi allies. Semper Fidelis!
I am checking out anything relating to Aussies in New Guinea ww2. My dad was an anti-aircraft sergeant. Thank you for this.
