COMMUNITY RATING
This is based on the novel of the same title by the late Australian author John Hepworth. Set in mid-1945 after V-E Day, but before the fall of Japan, this is the story of an Australian battalion sent to New Guinea to force the beleaguered Japanese to retreat. What they find when they arrive is a land covered with the corpses of Americans and Japanese soldiers from previous battles and starving and pitiful Japanese soldiers who regardless continue to fight to the bloody end, forcing some of the Australian soldiers to ponder the meaning (or meaninglessness) of war.
