Marlin Publications Wheelers Hill Victoria 1990 8vo. Softcover. 176pp. Very good. The amazing story of fifteen Australian soldiers who refused to surrender to the Japanese when they steamrolled the Malayan Peninsula in 1942. They evaded capture and enduring starvation, illness, and hardship returned to Australia. Far from being greeted as heroes they were met with disbelief, accused of deserting and given the title The Malayan Harriers. In 1990 with only nine of the original fifteen alive it was time for their story to be told.
