This is the little known tale of a small force of Australian commandos in Timor (only 700 men) who tied down a far superior Japanese force, for most of the critical year of 1942. It was their grit and courage alone, that stood in the way of the Japanese being free to move all their resources through to Papua New Guinea. It's also the story of the beginning of Australia's Special Forces.
