Day 6 Papua New Guinea Cruise

Milne Bay - My reason for taking this cruise. This is the beach where the Japanese landed in 1942 and the Australian army inflicted the first defeat of the war on the Japanese and saved Australia from invasion. Dad was wounded in action here and as the returned servicemen never spoke of the war this tour and the internet are allowing me to build up a picture of his time in Papua New Guinea.

That's quite a nice adventure you're having on the trail of your dad's history.

Seeing the land and the people even though its in the present time, puts history into perspective! They have sweet faces!

[Mannie]

I'm sure this was an incredibly meaningful stop for you.

Beautiful portraits here, Margaret! I would love to see where my father served as well, yet I doubt I ever will.
