Antony Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Thanks ABN for the Kokoda story, I felt very humbled watching it and it only increased my admiration of the WW2 Australian Soldiers. I visited Hellfire Pass three years ago and was very moved by the experience, to see how these brave men had hacked through solid rock with hand tools. The second picture shows how holes were driven into the rock to put explosives in. One man with a sledge hammer, another holding a steel bar, turning it with every hit and believe me the rock is very hard. It is so peacefull and quiet down there but it was a very sobering experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
