[ a2402 ] My war by Australian Z force commando Brian Walpole

Description

My war by Australian Z force commando Brian Walpole.
I was lucky enough to purchase a lot of stuff belonging to Walpole, purchased direct from his son, This man was an absolute hardened legend, he & his small band of Dyak warriors were full on killing machines.
This is no ordinary war memoir. In 1943, 20-year-old Brian Walpole left his Melbourne home for the steaming jungles of New Guinea to serve in one of Australia's first commando units. Then in Borneo, as a member of the elite Z Special Unit, he fought alongside headhunting Sea Dyaks, who are paid a bounty for every Japanese head taken. Brian learns their language, sleeps in their longhouses. The experience changes him forever.
Yet despite being surrounded on all sides by grotesque images of death, this is above all a story of life, reflecting the author's motto: life is for living. His real-life story records a true experience of Australia at war that has so far been little known.
