Description
It was the final campaign of WW2, the battle for Borneo. It was meant to be simply a clean-up operation and the Japanese, on their last legs. But the Japanese fought as tenaciously and savagely as ever, making life for the experienced and raw Australian troops, bloody. Michael speaks about a war of attrition and using the local militia to headhunt the Japanese.
