Here is where I have difficulties shooting a pic through glass - hopefully, the pics are visible enough to make sense.

Top, a wounded soldier is lowered down a track. I presume this is the Kokoda track, and the stretcher bearers are Papua New Guinea natives, nick named at the time "Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels"

Second is titled "Farewell my Darling", a final embrace before boarding ship. Yes, that is the side of a hull as a back drop.

Third is some commandos /soldiers scrambling down the cargo net - gear does look Australian.

Fourth is the pair of Soldiers, rescuing a lady from a bombed building. Given the rest of the figures and the theme, I would say this would be related to the Japanese bombing of Nothern Australia.

The fifth (again blurry photo) showed emaciated figures, wearing tattered clothes and battered slouch hats, working on Hellfire Pass.

Wikipedia entry on Hellfire Pass.

This as high craftsmanship, these five.
