Abstract:
The role of the Timorese people in World War II is often overshadowed by conflicts involving greater numbers of Australians. However, the Timorese/Australian partnership which began on 17 December 1941, with the landing of a few hundred men of the Australian
2/2 Independent Company in Portuguese Timor, now Timor-Leste, was unique and its toll on the Timorese people was inestimable. Timorese deaths during the remaining four years of the war have been estimated at 40,000. The video was made about the history of East Timor and about the work of the Mary MacKillop East Timor Mission there as one Australian response to the situation of the Timorese people.
