Product Description
The story of the Kokoda Track is the extraordinary story of a small force defeating a much larger one.It is the tale of the 550 men of the 39th Militia Battalion – called chocos because the regular soldiers thought they'd melt under pressure.
In eight short and brutal weeks – from 20 August 1942 – these soldiers slowed, and eventually stopped, the advance of 6000 experienced Japanese troops of the Nankai division across the massive Owen Stanley range.
