The Battle of the Cakota Track

The cakota track is right up there with gallipoli for those moments that just move the australian soul. It reminds one a little bit of like thermopyle in ancient greece, right? The only difference is, at thermopyli you have the spartan king and 300 of his best guys and some extra people too. In new guinea, its people the regular military refer to contemptuously, usually with the term chocos, which is short for chocolate soldiers. That's what the belgians were called the first were a war, often by the germans.
