"Australia's involvement with East Timor began in the Second World War when many Australian soldiers would have died without the aid of the East Timorese. Since that time, East Timor has been left on its own to fight a bloody battle

for freedom from Indonesia. How could this be allowed to happen - and what was Australia's part in it?" Age 11+.

In 1942 a small force of around 300 mostly West Australian commandos fought against all odds to wage a successful guerilla campaign in East Timor, holding down over 10,000 Japanese troops at a critical moment when the Japanese were only a few miles from Port Moresby.

This exhibition investigates the heroic exploits of the commandos, the reasons for their initial successes and why the Timorese supported the Australians. It also explores the enduring relationship between the men of the 2/2nd and the people of East Timor, and the contorted relationship between the Australian Government and East Timor/Timor Leste from the 1975 invasion to the 1999 Intervention and beyond.

This exhibition highlights the war efforts of Australia’s first guerilla commandos and their life-long endeavour to repay a ‘debt of honour’ to the people of Timor-Leste.
