I'm lucky to have known a neighbor who was there. He was in his 90s, around 2010 or so when I met him. He was an engineer in command of Indian troops. He said that he and others heard the sporadic firing coming from the swamps. He radioed adjacent units asking, '...are you engaging the enemy?' No one was. He said, "All I know is that they weren't shooting at us, and I was fine with that."

Aus troops in L.C. got stuck on shoals at low tide within range of Japanese mg's. Lots of Aus soldiers were killed in the mg crossfire. Flying over he could see salt water crocs & sharks eating the remains of the Australian soldiers. Why weren't the Allied forces machine gunning and shelling the retreating Japanese at Ramree Island? If they did that would have been fair cricket & the salt water crocs would also have been part of the clean up crew. Another example: Battle of the Bismarck Sea.

@Wes McGee Poor bastard was probably hauted by the memories of the event. The sudden torpedoing of his ship, the rush to abandon ship, loosing the ship and his shipmates, the struggling to survive in the water and then the sharks arrived and began to take victims. Not just any sharks but tiger sharks, real killers. The horror went on for days and nights until they were spotted by an aircraft and later ships began to arrive. I would say that there were plenty of times that he would have wished he had gone down with the ship instead of having to experience that event and the following nightmares. May he rest in peace with his shipmates.

R Dudley same here, all soldiers who serve their country and uphold duty and respect for everybody deserve respect, from the Germans forced to serve to the British willing-fully joining the ranks.

@@yiddleyiddle3456 And a lot of books were written by those who suffered horribly from inhumane Japanese soldiers. Next thing you gonna tell me is the Holocaust didn't happen and it's all propaganda. I really hope you won't say that cause I don't have time at the moment to track down retards and put a bullet in their sorry excuse of a brain that they have. But besides all of that I don't hate Japanese OR German people. I wasn't born during that time, not my war, and I didn't experience these things firsthand. All I got was my high school and some college history classes in America. The rest of the things I don't know I go to Google. But I am not biased and I know there are always 2 sides to a story. And from what I have read about HUMAN history is that all countries have done a lot of bad things at one point. Edit: They got a lot of guts to go through that swamp. Those crocs are big as hell.

Matthew Rutter LoL, they sent 3 soldiers with one gun and one of them was the commander.

The crocodiles then joind the British Army, as the Queen’s 1st Crocodile Regiment, and 1st Crocodile Rifles Division

I thought this was about the Churchill-VII flamethrower tank, but this was even more impressive!
