Teleporting Aussies
Posted: Mon May 27, 2002 9:50 pm
When the 18th Aus Bgd attempted to hike from Buna to Dobadura, half of the Brigade ended up in Finschaven and the remainder of the Brigade returned to Buna.
This is 150 air miles (much further if you avoid walking on water) , but the trip took only five days. The Japanese garrison in Finschaven was quite startled. Unfortunately the Japanese were startled but not surprised; the detachment was wiped out the next day.
