    Recommended Posts

    Just found this article that might be of interest.

    Twenty Australian soldiers who were killed while fleeing Japanese prisoner of war camps during World War II will be posthumously awarded the Commendation for Gallantry. Parliamentary Secretary of Defence, Senator David Feeney, has accepted recommendations from the independent Defence Honours and Awards Tribunal and is asking soldiers' relatives to collect the medals on their behalf.

    The article also refers to the Australian Defence Honours & Awards Tribunal Website which makes for some very interesting reading. Also contains a number of reports than can be download.

    Enjoy
