2012 marks the 70th anniversary of the illustrious Kokoda Campaign, where Australia fought a series of battles against Japanese forces, during the Second World War. Fighting in the most horrendous conditions and being young, outnumbered and undertrained, the odds were stacked against the Australian soldiers. With the help of United States forces and the Papua New Guinean locals, Australia persisted and eventually claimed victory in the Kokoda Campaign.
