Default Re: HOLLANDIA (JAYAPURA) in 1944

Well, at the time, I'd had my fill of Aussie canned corned beef and waiting for the japs to attack us again. I was also quite ready to even things up with the japs.

Alice springs was an outback wasteland to be training for the jungle, but we hadn't had a taste of what was to come.

I don't know if the word glad can be used, we were successful to a degree in most of what we had to do.
