Yeah classic. What was the Spartan leade's name? Leonidas?

I'd say make a movie about Kokoda, Effogi, Milne Bay, Shaggy Ridge or any of the other harrowing PNG campaigns.

There is also a book that should be made into a film called "The Sea Shall Not Have Them".

I've forgotten the name of the Author but it was published in the early 50's and it is about the air sea rescue fleets in the English Channel/North Atlantic in 1944/1945. It is an intense and amazing story.

Aussie Nick I think the Brits may have made that story into a movie.....mid 50's I think.
Keep an eye out for KOKODA. Coming soon.
