Women of Kokoda
I grew up in Australia, and was 7 years old when Paul Keating drew our attention to the importance of our army's efforts at Kokoda. As I grew older, I became more aware of my own family's connections to the Pacific, and heard every now and again a mention of my great-aunt Consie going to Papua New Guinea during World War Two as a nurse.
