The highest praise imaginable coming from the world’s leading expert on Australia’s war. Very much hoping to see you at next year’s We Have Ways Fest.
Just finished the new @WeHaveWaysPod 4 episode series on the Kokoda campaign of 1942. A very solid foundation provided by @almurray & @James1940 for a very complex slice of history. Wasn't expecting the degree of detail & analysis provided. If you're new to this topic start hereView quoted post on X
Well, there you go. At least they’re consistent with their systemic cruelty to man and beast.
Will just add that yes @James1940, the Japanese did have horses in Papua, which they worked half to death before ultimately slaughtering them during the retreat to the Beachheads. A few did survive to be liberated.View quoted post on X
I am. Thank you.
@James1940 @James1940 may also be interested to know Syd Rowell had been taught by Alan Brook & Montgomery at Camberley and built long term relationships with both (Montgomery invited him to his HQ in Normandy) His study partner during the course was a certain Captain Francis Tucker.View quoted post on X

@WeHaveWaysPod Be honest, did you hesitate over the keyboard whilst pondering track Vs trail?View quoted post on X
