 | The Remembering the war in New Guinea project brings together Japanese, Australian and indigenous perspectives of the Second World War in New Guinea, to write a history of war in this theatre which truly reflects the experience of all the groups involved. With international participation, the project will focus on military activity at the strategic and tactical levels. It will particularly emphasise the human experience of soldiers on both sides, their perceptions of the experience of the other groups involved, and the effects of the war on the indigenous peoples.
A symposium was held from 19 to 21 October 2000 at the Australian National University in Canberra. Abstracts of the papers are accessible through the link to the left, and the full text of papers presented will be available later this year. |
