About This Item
Volume and DJ are in unused condition. Photo section included. From the front DJ flap, "The Australian defenders - Lark Force, composed of fourteen hundred men, the bulk of which was the 2/22nd Infantry Battalion, and six nurses - were overrun in a matter of hours. They withdrew deep into the jungles of New Britain, where the unforgiving environment, the cruel Japanese soldiers, and even fate were against them...less than a fourth of the Australian garrison escaped from New Britain after enduring months of deprivation; the rest were taken prisoner. Of that number, approximately two hundred were executed, the majority in one horrific massacre."
