Honouring Kokoda's Heroes: Forever in the Hearts of Australians
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 ноя 2022
- Owers’ Corner, about 50km from Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, is visited by thousands of Australian pilgrims every year, yet it is not a church. It is forever consecrated in the hearts of Australians, yet it is not Australian soil. It is Australia’s most important military victory, yet it’s relatively unknown. Our men at Kokoda represented the very best of not just Australian values but the highest values of humanity as well. As you watch the program, you’ll discover that we all walk on a track. And for us, it’s not the Kokoda Track; it’s the track of life. We honour the heroes of the Kokoda Campaign. But let’s consider how much more we should honour Jesus.

What a courageous generation and to the natives that saved many.
❤🇦🇨👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
My Dad was one of the few who came home from Kokoda R.I.P Dad
So was mine.
My Dad's older brother was in the 39th, he came home alive. Like many others, didn't talk about it.
More men on the Kokoda Trail returned unarmed than died. It was not a few that survived it was many.
The stories presented are always informative. I love the way they are always brought back to the Bible and Jesus our saviour. Thank you TIJ.🙏🏽
Our pleasure!
Interesting and informative but one massive omission. Though there was plenty of vision of Papuan natives , there was not one word spoken about the "fuzzy wuzzy angels" who worked as porters , stretcher-bearers and guides. Acknowledgement of these people needed. They were a great help to the AIF in a war they had no stake in between two foreign countries on their land . Heroes in their own way.
I always look forward to TIJ stories. We really must honor our veterans.
This is a touching story beautifully presented. The battle sacrificed by young Australians in defence for freedom of those coming later reminds us of Christ's sacrifice for humanity's freedom as put by Pr. Garry Kent. This battle reminds us of sacrifice, endurance, love and relationships shared not only amongst the fighting soldiers but between them and the indigenous people of Kokoda. And today's relationship between PNG and Australia is founded and based on this memorable sacrifices of the Australian heroes amongst others. Thank you Pr. Kent for relating this with Jesus' sacrifice for our freedom demonstrating the infinite and unconditional Love of God. And the intimate loving relationship that we can seek and share with another in Christ Jesus. Thank you Pr. Garry Kent for doing this powerful video connecting well with the Savior Jesus Christ.
Most were stricken with malaria, dysentery, scrub typhus and all sorts off diseases. Not to mention the physical and mental stress. I know my father suffered all his life. They came home and were told to get on with it no help for pts in them days.
This story moved and touched my heart ❤
Story of our aussy allie and their bravery should be remembered all and the sacrifice of our saviors and savoir jesus christ loved it
The men who fought in New Guinea are the cream of Australia .
Yes and broke many many Australians especially when they were given the thankless task of being a mopping up army.
Narrator's. 7 day . Story ther too . Best .
The Japanese wanted Port Moresby to prevent the US having base there, not to prepare for the invasion of Australia. Never on the cards.
The Japanese retreated due to lack of supplies.
Australian losses were twice the losses of the Japanese.
Read the history well .
The Japanese failed to take their objective Port Moresby. They then fell back to Gona, Buna and Sananada strongholds on the northern coast where they were destroyed. They were also defeated at Milne Bay before the destruction of the three beach heads. Then came Guadalcanal.
@@blueycarlton The Japanese never intended to invade Australia - it's far too big. They sought to isolate Australia to hamper the war effort e.g. getting armaments to fighting troops , Macarthur's HQ in Brisbane
@@desfletch
The Jap Navy wanted Australia invaded. Their Army would have been extended because of number of troops required to suppress the Chinese.
This is all fine in hindsight.
At the time the Japanese had swept all before it in the Philipines, Malaya and Indonesia. Now they are in New Guinea, take Port Morseby taking control the mainland, and then they are less than 20 miles from Australia's northern most islands in the Torres Strait. Darwin suffered 60 plus air raids, and other northern towns were bombed. Even Sydney itself was attacked.
Who then, would not have thought Australia would not be invaded?
Churchill didn't care, he said Australia can fall, let's deal with the Germans first. Even though the threat of a UK invasion had well passed.
I think you’ll find Japanese casualties were much higher then Australia’s,
You are correct. Also it was the Japanese that were outnumbered at Kokoda but only just.
