      HI. This force of 8000 men included the 18th Brigade including my late grandfather with the 2/9th Battalion. They were kept in Britain due to the the threat of German invasion. They were then sent to Libya and stopped the Germans at Tobruk and endured the siege for five months. They then went Syria and to the Pacific and inflicted the first land full-scale defeat of the Japanese at Milne Bay. Many of them died at Buna, Sanananda, the Battle of Shaggy Ridge, and most shamefully and sadly in the pointless battles at Balikpapan two months before the atom bombs were dropped.

      I know this is an old comment, but I thought I should add. Australian infantry did not fight in Italy, Australian Airmen did participate in the invasion though. By that time Prime Minister Curtin withdrew Australians from the Mediterranean to fight in the pacific due to the real threat of Japanese invasion of Australia. Hope that helps :)

    Love the Aussies. My pop known as the mad major in Burma fought with a of load of Aussies in the desert as he was the only Brit who had the balls for them and they were always spoken of with the greatest affection and respect from him. He wasn't keen on the Yanks and despised Monty. Every now and again I see him in the odd pathe news and fill up with pride to have had such a decent bloke for my father. You all , God forbid, do it again. Don't know about Britain though, the Nation is alot softer and self entitled with the old timers and their ilk nowadays being in the minority .

    Unfortunately, we don’t have many men with the grit, spirit ,determination, and loyalty these days.These diggers came from the Bush and the back streets of the city and grew up hard.They came from British, Irish, Scottish,welsh and European stock. The youth of today as had too much of the good life, and happy for others to do the job of protecting them. Nam was the last lot to stand up and be counted with pride.Todays Immigrant for the most part have little or no allegiance
    to Australia and won’t put their hand up, if called to do so. Compulsory is the only way to Sort them out. Serve or leave!

    It was a culture and Generation we will never see again. These blokes would never recognise the Australia of today. The values have changed, for the worse, and our society has become divided and characterless. My father, who fought in New Guinea would be dismayed at what Australia has become.

      My father, uncles, great uncles, and grandfather were all from my family. They served overseas. What would they think? Today, the current generation has not faced a war on the scale of the two world wars. Maybe they will stand up and be counted if Australia was threatened.
