Lest We Forget: Recollections of the 1942 Papuan Battle

By Jay Hooper

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.
