with the 2nd of the IIF.

There.

Hey.

Did you eat?

F***ing chocolate's.

Who would have thought? Choco and the

great thinkers in the same space.

Have your ammo, buddy?

Easy, boys.

Hold your fire.

Come on you bastards! Try it.

Jesus ...

The battalion is ready, sir.

- Good.

Rust in place.

I know there is not much to name ...

But I know you.

We met in Isurava.

We have fought together.

And here, meter for meter.

We are relieved and we

leave the battle.

Top up, buddy!

Diving!

Damn.

Each day presents the supply line

of the enemy further.

He waives now

as you have abandoned.

The fight that you have

conducted along the route ...

Your country saved.

You have him injured ...

We will stop him.

Burkey, reload.

Burkey!

Burkeeey!

Come on Burkey, reload!

The Brigadier-General wants you to know

that your bravery, your courage

and determination are inspiring.

And I want you to know ...

you with the best soldiers hear

I have ever met.

You have seen things that

no man should stand.

Some of those things

should you forget

but history will

you remember.

And in the future,

others will wish

your belief that they had.

Think of ...

Think of the glory,

not to the rapture of the war,

but to those of humans.

The generosity of man,

that the fiery principle of

the war on rising.

The fidelity and power.

The kindness and compassion.

I am honored to be your brother.

The Australians were so

smaller in number

that they eventually were forced

out Isurava to withdraw.

with desperate rearguard battle

along the route.

After three weeks of bloodshed

Japanese breakpoint was reached.

They were forced

to withdraw

though their purpose,

Port Moresby, in the sight had.

For the first time in the war

was a Japanese army halted.

Australia would not foot up.

Alister Grierson

Alister Grierson (born 1969) is an Australian film director and scriptwriter. Born in Canberra, he completed his secondary schooling at Canberra Grammar, graduated in Economics and Arts from the Australian National University and studied Japanese in Tokyo. As an under 18 Australian Rules player, he represented the ACT in the Teal Cup but later switched codes to Rugby, playing 1st grade both for his school and the ANU. Whilst at university, his interest in film-making developed, and he later gained a Master of Arts in Directing at AFTRS. He has shot 15 short films winning three Tropfest awards and is the director of the feature film, Kokoda, which he co-wrote. In 2009 Grierson was invited to the Avatar set during shooting by James Cameron, and was selected to direct a 3D cave-diving drama Sanctum, using the Cameron-developed Fusion Camera System. The script is inspired by the near-death experience of one of the writers, Andrew Wight, who was trapped in a cave collapse under the Nullarbor Plain. It was shot at Warner Roadshow Studios on the Queensland Gold Coast, and the film opened 4 February 2011. By mid-March the film had joined the top ten Worldwide Box Office Results (Australian Films): All Time, in ninth position. The worldwide gross had reached $108,943,221 by 19 October 2011.He is the director of Parer's War, starring Matthew Le Nevez and Adelaide Clemens, a dramatised biopic about Damien Parer for the ABC. Although set in Sydney (for the Australian locations), much of the filming was done in Queensland. The script, by Alison Nisselle, is an adaptation of Neil McDonald's book Damien Parer’s War. Released on 27 April 2014, the film attracted the following comments from Graeme Blundell in the Australian: "Parer’s War is taut, intelligently constructed and sharply executed by Grierson,..." and "It’s all beautifully put together by Grierson..."Grierson directed the final three episodes of both series of the award winning ABC serial Nowhere Boys. He has directed the yet to be released Tiger, written by Michael Pugliese and Prem Singh. Mickey Rourke plays Frank Donovan in the film, which is produced by Mary Aloe, and co-stars Pugliese, Singh and Janel Parrish. more…
