Default Cowra Breakout 75th Anniversary

Last weekend I took the truck to this event.

For those who don't know, the event being commemorated was the 75th anniversary of the COWRA (not be confused with Corowa) Breakout,

During WW2 Cowra had a very large prison camp and also a significant Army base.

It also made various small arm bits to augment the Lithgow Factory and had a big food cannery (Edgells) and significant Rail infrastructure.

231 Japanese were killed during the breakout and 4 Australian Soldiers.
