Categories: Oceania, Citizen Media, History, War & Conflict

On ANZAC day [1], Islandbaby remembers the unacknowledged veterans [2] who fought the Japanese in the Second World War. “And this year I Remember. I remember those who fought with the ANZACs and remain unacknowledged by many. Specifically the Australian Aboriginal veterans and from my corner of the world, the 55,000 fuzzy wuzzy angels and the 4000 Papuans and New Guinean soliders who fought in all but one of the allied campaigns in this, my country.”
