Two Australians Return From Nine Days in Japanese Lines
Two New South Wales men, one from Cremorne and Lance corporal Butler of Ba’sanild, crawled back after nine days in dense jungle near Seputa to Sananda following a December 1 charge that split their unit. Butler, wounded by a shell fragment, kept moving with an officer, sharing scarce rations and water, while avoiding capture as Japanese shells and dives rained around them. Butler later led a recovery through jungle, maintaining the ground their unit had won on December 7, and his brave actions are noted as he awaits decoration.
