Anthony Albanese will reflect on the suffering and sacrifice of Australian troops at the site of one of the fiercest battles fought by Australians during the Second World War.
The prime minister will give a solemn address to commemorate the 600 Australia ns who died during the Kokoda campaign of the Second World War.
In his speech, the Prime Minister will pay tribute to the perseverance and strength shown by soldiers who fought and died for the country during the bloody campaign.“Where we now have the privilege of joining together in peace and liberty, Australian soldiers fought to hold back a relentless enemy. Papuan Infantry Battalion soldiers fought alongside Australians during the battles, while thousands of civilians provided crucial support, delivering supplies, building bases and evacuating the sick and wounded.
“The villagers who risked their own lives to feed and guide and shelter Australians in desperate need. The stretcher bearers whose courage was matched only by their kindness.”Anzac memorial services will be held across Australia on Thursday to commemorate fallen servicemen and women.
