'''''Kokoda''''' is a 2006 Australian war movie directed by Alister Grierson. New Guinea, 1942, Australia is at war with Japan. A small Australian group of the 39th Battalion is in the vicinity of Kokoda as an advance guard. After fierce fighting, they are completely on their own, with no communications, no outside, and no supplies. Isolated far behind enemy lines, they must make their way back. Through the dangerous jungle, without food, weakened by malaria and nasty wounds, always ready to face the enemy.
 +
 +
A documentary mini-series with [[Kokoda (2010)|the same name]] was released in 2010.

Kokoda is a 2006 Australian war movie directed by Alister Grierson. New Guinea, 1942, Australia is at war with Japan. A small Australian group of the 39th Battalion is in the vicinity of Kokoda as an advance guard. After fierce fighting, they are completely on their own, with no communications, no outside, and no supplies. Isolated far behind enemy lines, they must make their way back. Through the dangerous jungle, without food, weakened by malaria and nasty wounds, always ready to face the enemy.

A documentary mini-series with the same name was released in 2010.


The following weapons were used in the film Kokoda:

Several other Australian soldiers also carry SMLE rifles at their base and during the final battle.
