Description
 
Doomed Battalion is a story of the nearly one thousand Australian soldiers of the 2/40th Battalion - mainly Tasmanians - who were sent to garrison an airfield in Dutch Timor immediately after the Japanese entered the Second World War. Assigned a hopeless military task within a misguided strategy, they were captured a week before the fall of Singapore in February 1942. For the next three and a half years they were more thoroughly scattered in prison camps throughout Asia then the men of any comparable Australian Unit. Their experiences represent a microcosm of the experience of Australians in Japanese hands in the Pacific. By Peter Henning.
