SYDNEY — The location of the largest World War II battle between Australian and Imperial Japanese forces in the jungles of Papua New Guinea has been discovered after 68 years, former Australian Army Capt. Brian Freeman said.
Known as the "Lost Battlefield," the site was hidden on a remote plateau, 1 km west and 450 meters above the village of Eora Creek, in the Owen Stanley Ranges.
Found along the Kokoda Track, the site has been touted as the most significant World War II discovery of the 21st century.
