Description - My Australian Story: Kokoda by Alan Tucker

It's been a
disastrous day. The radio news reports that HMAS Canberra has been sunk
with the loss of 819 lives and Kokoda has been lost by the Australians.
Who knows where Des's lot are? Somewhere on the mountain track between
Kokoda and Port Moresby with the Japs hot on their heels. Harold
couldn't say too much in his latest letter but it sounds like his
division is moving to New Guinea too. In his diary, Archie records his
own battles at home, against the local bully, Beefy; and how Townsville
copes as it becomes a base for the Pacific campaign; and the
Australian east coast reels under Japanese bombs. Archie's two brothers
are fighting in the battlefields of World War II. Des has been sent
with the militia to fight in the treacherous landscape of the jungles
of New Guinea against the Japanese- and his brother Harold is about to
join him, after surviving the campaign in the Middle East. There is
nothing between Australia and a Japanese invasion except a small band
of brave soldiers, fighting rain, mud, malaria and machine guns.
