Toowoomba to Torokina: The 25th Battalion in Peace and War, 1918-1945

AUSTRALIAN MILITARY
Toowoomba to Torokina traces the proud history of the 25th Battalion from the end of one war to end of the next. It tells the story of the men from Toowoomba and the Darling Downs who answered the call to fight a war that would threaten their country’s very existence.
From Milne Bay , the 25th Battalion went on to fight in BougaInville, clearing the Japanese from one of their last strongholds north of Australia.
Like their First World War predecessors, they fought a determined foe in hellish conditions with, as the Battalion’s motto decrees, `Never a Backwards Step’.
