With absolutely no help or material support from the United Kingdom, it was the all-volunteer AIF who fought and died to protect Australian soil; it was the Aussies in 1942 who first stood up to and finally repelled the Japanese Army Juggernaut, and started the Allied turnaround ending in the ultimate defeat of the Japanese Empire. . . Long live the survivors and remembrances of the fallen on the Kokoda Track (and of WWI Gallipoli as well). . .

Hail to the Diggers! Stand by your Mates! --the best Jungle Fighters of WWII. . . Better than any Marine, Royal or US (The Marines on Guadalcanal only had the better publicity. . .)
