RESEARCHER’S NOTICEBOARD

Australia faced many enemies during World War Two – Germans, Italians Vichy French and the Japanese. Rarely however, have the Chinese been identified as an antagonist. An exception resulted in the death of several Australian Prisoners of War at the hands of Chinese troops or bandits, near Hoban on 8th April 1944. Others were wounded. All men were members of the 2/21st Infantry Battalion who had fought on Ambon before being overwhelmed; then survived the Laha massacre and subsequent transportation to a POW camp on Hainan Island. As part of a wood chopping party, these men and their Japanese guards were ambushed in their vehicle en route to the work area. No Japanese survived and the following Australians were killed in the action:
