Video description

Excellent footage shot by Damien Parer in Papua New Guinea, subsequently edited to make the Academy Award winning documentary film 'Kokoda Front Line!'. Parer, a daring photographer, travelled with and lived as a soldier whilst on the job as a photographer and cinematographer for the Australian Department of Information in World War Two, and so was able to capture incredible scenes of men and conditions in which they lived and fought. Parade of survivors of the 39th Australian Infantry Battalion at Menari on 6 September 1942, where they were addressed by their Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Honner. Other identified personnel are: 'Snowy Parr' of the 39th Battalion (left) Arthur Chambers (right) seated in native hut facing camera. Lieutenant I McL Hutchinson, 2/14 Battalion displays steel helmet dented by a Japanese bullet.
