This week is the 71st anniversary of the Battle of Milne Bay. Far less known to the average Aussie than Kokoda in the annals of our military history, it was a vitally important victory against the Japanese Forces.
You can read what I wrote about it for last Remembrance Day, not long after we returned from visiting Milne Bay, as well as the memorial stained glass windows in the Catholic church.
This excellent link provides an interactive map of the battle field, and progress of the battle itself.
Facebook fans might be interested in liking the Milne Bay Memorial Library and Research Centre.
