Another famous day in Australian Military History. 18 Aussies killed that day vs 245 of the enemy. 120 Aussies I believe against 2500 NVR/VC. They never attacked the area again I believe.

I hope you don't mind my posting it here.
Just found out recently that there were Aussies at Guadalcanal as well.

The aggressive insistence on the worth and unique importance of the common man seems to me to be one of the fundamental Australian characteristics - Hartley Grattan Experience is the art of not making the same mistake too many times.
