The Senate has taken the first steps towards the creation of a medal for the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels who helped our Diggers during the Kokoda campaign in WWII.
Senator Guy Barnett, from Tasmania who walked the Track in April this year, was the driving force behind the initiative, calling for 'prompt recognition and support' for the surviving Fuzzy Wuzzies.
Patrick's latest book, Fromelles,one of the great unsolved mysteries of WWI - the disappearance of hundreds of Australian Diggers after the disastrous attack near the village of Fromelles in north-eastern France on 19 July 1916, was published last November by Hardie Grant Books. The narrative interweaves the little-known story of the blackest day in our nation’s history with an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the remarkable detective work by a band of amateur Australian historians to find the final resting place of the missing Diggers of Fromelles.See Ray Martin's story on the book onSunday on Armistice Day.
