Dear Frank

I have only just heard that your youngest son, Jeffery lies seriously injured
in the United States, injured during service to our country.
I wish to express my deepest sympathies on his injuries, and offer whatever help I can
in the future.
I also know that Jack is at Kalgoorlie, and John is at sea. The strain of war leadership, I know,
cannot equal the strain of having a son at the front.
We may differ on many things, but in this time of darkness for Australia, rest assured
I will never allow any one to say that the Ford family has not given its all.

Sincerely
Tony

There are many lurkers such as I who are enjoying this, kudos. Please continue.

Just one thing though, at McArthur's suggestion, PM Curtin offered the OC AMF spot to Morshead, with Blamey to be shifted to Chief of Staff, and a more administrative role.

Morshead knocked him back - because he was a combat soldier with NO interest in political B/S. He preferred command of I corps, an active combat formation.

I wonder if you were to spend the pp to put Morshead in place of Blamey, would it make a difference game-wise?

It should. Morshead (& Lavarack, Rowell & Sturdee) were all better equipped than Blamey for actual direct command of combat troops.

0200 hours, some 120 miles north of Efate.

A small ship. A tight crew. Men who have known each other for some time now, who
inside this small destroyers frame have learnt to live with each others foibles, each others
stink.
Men drawn even closer together by the stresses of war.
Destroyer Stuart, a little ship alone on a big ocean, sailing where she really should never be.

The operation against Ndendi has been cancelled, spread over 100's of miles half a dozen task
forces are fleeing south.
Carriers at Tulgia. Fleet ones at that.
Stuart is tail end Charlie, covering arses.

The night is dark, visibility is crud.
And yet the Japanese find them.
One moment, darkness, the steady hiss of the ocean, the quiet murmers on the bridge.
Then, brilliant daylight, as the star shells explode overhead.

A close crew. A well trained crew.
A brave crew.

Stuart does the only thing she can do....she heels, turns, swings her guns towards the enemy,
a line off metal, no, a great wall of metal, just 2000 yards away.
Her guns get just one round away.
Her torpedo officer a full spread.

They slice, 6 good fish, straight towards the leading ship, Battleship Ise, and plough
straight into steel.
A destroyers steel
And then Hyuga fires a full salvo, and Stuart dissolves in violence and flame.

A close crew, a brave crew.
Sailing together now, forever.

I, and my Generals now agree. There seems to be little chance of an amphibious
invasion of India. There May be a thrust over the mountains aimed at Southern India,
which we can contain.
Thankyou for the support of the Carrier force. I now place all British Naval
forces under temporary command of your in situ Admiral.
On other matters, this Gen Chiang-Kai-Chek, in China, is he reliable?
Do you think China really can hold?, the line certainly has stabilised lately.......

Bridge, CV Enterprise, 100 miles north of Addu

The messages that come in, come quickly, bang, bang, bang.
"message from Resolution sir.........have been sighted by Japanese Patrol plane"
Resolution is just 80 miles to their east.
"Message sir, Destroyer Inconstant is reporting multiple Kate torpedo bombers"
She is further south, just south of Diego, enroute from Cape Town to Colombo
'message sir.....SS Salmon reports a small convoy, 120 miles east of Diego, apparently inbound"

The plot is thick.
Enterprise and her companions, near Addu. The British heading south towards Diego.
Several ASW groups in the area.

Lt Jackson can almost see his Admiral's internal wrestle.
He wants to attack, he needs to attack.
The Japs are there, South of Diego.
But..............

More importantly, 1st corp is at sea, still steaming West, just 300 miles to the north.

THEY Must be protected.

"I smell a trap Jackson. Damn it!"
It is quite possibly the hardest decision Halsey has ever made
"All ships retire North.....God knows what is lurking down there""

It has been a world Jeffery could never imagined.
A child of the great Western plains of Australia, the concept of mountains, real mountains,
is one he has never grasped.
The Last three days have been eye opening, the hospital train wending its way slowly
south towards Seattle.
He has had plenty of time to think as the world slides by.
He still has his leg. He still has his life.
Somehow, its changed. Somehow, its gotten a whole lot more serious.

He wonders about Margeret

Kalgoorlie airfield.

25th squadron.
A squadron stripped to its very core. It seems to Jack now that life is just
the plane, the strip, the dust, the scrap of canvas that has become his shelter.
The routine is punishing.
Rise before dawn. Eat, eat whatever mix of bully beef and biscuits the cooks
come up with (some days its beef and biscuits, the next, biscuits and beef)

Brush the dust, the ever present dust off, then, to the flight line.
They are flying in flights of 6 now, 6 up, 6 refuelling, 6 returning, or circling.
The strip grows, but is still crowded, hudsons, the wirriways (the wishiways they call them, wish
they would actually hit something).

The Japs seem to be everywhere.
There are fighters at Esperance, Oscars, yet to be tackled. Also Transports, and, it is
rumoured, bombers.
Tanks to the North, a division to the south, another to the south east.
And tanks on the rail line east of them, where 1st Division is being led a merry chase.

Yet nobody seems worried.
What is there to worry about?
No money problems.
No relationship problems, no material problems
Just his solid fighter, his friends, and a chance to fight Japs.

First flight is returning.
2 come in, dead stick...one smoking. 6 have gone out, one returned early.
The other 5 all are damaged.
The Oscars at last????

But the pilots leap from the cockpits grinning, smiles splitting faces.
Betty bombers.
Unescorted betty bombers

Jack curses. He's missed out.
18 betty bombers, and 8 of the barsteds shot down.

I am delighted to let you know, that in addition to the troops already en route or
in Australia,, I have wrangled a new division for you, the 32nd.
Its going to South West pacific command, which should keep
a certain general quiet for a few days, at least.

I understand the Americal has arrived, we would like to.............

"Port Kembla??"

Frank looks at the intelligence report: 48th div planning for an attack on Port Kembla''.

He eyes his General nervously. "Blamey has stripped the east coast, if this happens, we are
#@!@#$!"
The General shrugs. "Actually Blamey has taken an acceptable risk, we think. The Yanks are arriving,
and Port Moresby is the Jap focus. If Port Moresby had been lost, yes, maybe. But that place
is going to buy us time, time for the Yanks to come, time for 1st Corp. This, this Port
Kembla stuff is a decoy, 48th is spread all over PNG, it will take weeks to gather it"

I hope you are right General. Gods, I hope you are right
1st Corp. So much depending on first corp.
If, gods, if we can get it here in one piece.

CV Enterprise.

"There they are sir"

Lt Jackson re focuses his glasses. There is no mistaking the shape.
Lady Sara, Lady Lex, and Yorktown standing proud on the horizon.

"Thankyou Jackson" Halsey gives a wry grin. "That is all our eggs in one basket now, isn't it"

Yes. yes it is. 4 carriers. 2 Brit carriers. Those bloody too slow and useless
R class. The entire Aussie navy.......and North of us, First Corp.

And coming hard North, after us, the Japs.

Akagi, Kaga, at least 2 more CV, and maybe 3 cvl.
Now North of Diego.
a destroyer lost today, 3 ASW ships.


And seemingly every ship asking for fuel.

"Don't worry Jackson, I am not going to do anything rash...I do understand 1st Corp is the mission.
We keep running North, as fast as those bloody brits can go.. Its the Cape, or nothing now"

80 miles North of Kalgoorlie
2/8th Arm regiment finally engages 2nd tank regiment.
Its the Stuarts that do it, the Matildas at 9 mph simply are not in the chase today.

"its like herding bloody Cats"
But the Cats tail has been caught.

13 of the little mobile tin cans are destroyed today, the rest boxed in.
Tomorrow, the Matildas will show Japan what a proper tank is all about.........

North of Kalgoorlie.

2nd tank regiment, sent to sweep around the airfield and to isolate it.
Now finding itself relentlessly driven North, hunted, harassed.

Today, it turns south, attempts to break the chase.
There are just 12 Matildas entering the plain the Japanese must cross.
Its good tank country, if you own the superior tank.

The Matilda is definitely the superior tank..
25 enemy tanks burn after an hours "battle"
25 more are damaged

18 full Japanese formations landed on this great brown land
1 down, 17 to go.

KB keeps coming North
South of Addu island , it sinks a fleeing KV .
It misses DD Foxhound, a ship that now believes in a million blessings.

It fails to sight the allied fleet to the North.

Its more than a good thing that it does.

There is not a little stress on Napiers Bridge.
In fact, Captain Smith is fairly ropable
"Who in the bloody hell do they want us to fuel from now?"

Jason rubs his head in shared frustration "THIS message says the Resolution, where
ever the hell she is"
"Didn't she just emergency top up from one of the transports?"
Jason looks around the ocean about them. Never, ever, he thinks, has he seen
such a muddle.

Carriers, Battleships, cruisers, and Transports, God, so many transports, great
Liners some of them.
And scattered amongst them, too few tankers.

Halsey and his staff, must be going out of their minds......juggling who gets what, and
how much.

Some ships are on their bare arses for fuel, Napier amongst them.
Smith curses " Oh to hell with it, last I heard of it, that fat cow was over there.....plot
the best course you can. I am going below, call me only if some idiot really is going
to run us over, or we run out of fuel, whichever happens first"

The Japanese carriers remain near Addu.
The Convoy carrying 1st Corp finally refuels, shakes itself out, and makes a clean escape towards the Cape.

Its going to be a long journey.

The Battleships too slip away.
The Carriers remain.
Still not enough fuel, or still insufficient time to distribute it all. It does not
matter, they remain fixed today still hanging arses out there, with the bad guys
just begging to smack them.

The Japanese Battlewagons wait a day near Milne bay, allowing the last planes
to evacuate the base.

Japanese ships remain active in the Aleutians , he probes, we probe, a clash must soon come.

Lets chase a Jap continues in West Aussie,, it is now quite simply, all about the rail line
If it gets cleared, there are many more troops just waiting to rail in.

Something Japan cannot afford, surely.

8th Tank regiment comes East down the Railway towards Kalgoorlie
1st division leisurely following. The Maltildas, well even at full speed, they follow
leisurely as well.

Two Tank units leave Kalgoorlie to meet it. 18th division is south of Kalgoorlie now,
but seems to have decided to forego a direct assault. It too, is trying for the rails.

Tank or men, the Wirriways harass them all.
They hit little, but men ducking for cover cannot march.


Vindicators from Kodiac venture south, run into zeros.
A Nasty lesson learnt.
Why the venture?.........once again, Japanese Battlewagons are coming.

We prepare a reception committee.
From this point on, no matter the odds, the Allies will accept a surface fight.

They have been here at Port Moresby for nearly three months now.
Three months of digging holes, building bunkers, clearing firing lanes.

Three months of listening to the roar of Allied aero engines snarling aloft,
of watching the ever growing numbers of Japanese air frames scatter themselves
on the surrounding hills, in the harbour.
They have watched a Japanese task force of destroyers impale itself on the minefield.

It has become easy to believe Blamey when he says
"Port Moresby is a fortress, it will never fall"

Many troops have even come to believe that the Japanese will never come, that
"we should go over the hills, and root em out, or, enough of us
here, lets send some home to Australia, and clear our land, our homes"
The men of Port Moresby are confident, in themselves, in their Army, Navy, airforce.


It takes Battleships Mutsu and Nagato just 2 hours to shatter this illusion,
this falseness.
Two hours of bombardment delivered from the dark

Two hours of the great shells tearing up the field to uselessness, of destroying the port, of sinking
the patrol craft, of turning supply depots so carefully constructed to pyres.

Two hours to turn everything on its head


When dawn comes, and they survey the smoking ruins, many, a great many share the same thought

Port Moresby is terribly alone.
They all are.

100 feet above the dirt , west of Kalgoorlie.

Jack is in a hard bank, gasping for breath, wheeling his fighter around for another run
at the black beetles scattered along the rail line, when the shadow flicks across his wing
"Lookout!, Japs!' some one yells.
fear dumps through him. The desert rushing so close below, already on the ragged edge of his turn,
already at max top rudder........
Thoughts at the speed of light
To straighten, is to die
To remain, is to die
To try to climb, is to die

he snatches the throttle back, and pulls the stick even harder into his belly.

She staggers, the Oscar roars across his nose, so close, so close, its guns spitting,
shells smacking his wing, the ground rises close, so close, hard opposite stick now,,
don't stall her!. don't stall her!, dust rising behind him, and clear of the desert, of the Oscar,
sweat clammy everywhere.........



Columns of smoke, of fire scattered across the desert........




He has 6 holes in his port wing. All, 6 of them have holes of various degree.
But nobody has been lost.
They had the bounce, the height.
They lost 4
Jack knows it now. They all know it.

We can take these barsteds............
