One I'd nomiinate as a good one, is Kokoda..recently downloaded off the net. I rate it as very good indeed

Ozzies and Kiwis will likely know this one : a film set in WWII ...but doubtful many others will know it.
about the "chocos" as the regular Aussie force called them...chocolate soldeirs that would melt at the first sign of trouble...as these were volunteer civilian soldiers..

turns out they did a tremendous job stopping Japanese invasion plans down the Kokoda penisula for likely invasion of Australia.

Many of them ( Kokoda units like 39th battallion ), were made up from teenage soldiers , almost press ganged into the army and sent North without any seroius training. They faced crack experienced Japanese troops.
