À propos de cet audio
This episode looks at the care of the wounded on the Kokoda Track.
What level of care did sick and wounded soldiers receive?
Why was the medical planning still being conducted whilst the Battle of Isurava was in progress?
What was the issue with medical logistics and how were casualties to be casevaced from the battlefield?
We listen to the story of CAPT Stan Bissett as he describes how his brother Butch was wounded just north of Isurava and later died of his wounds.
Medical care was provided under the most difficult conditions, in the jungle, in steep terrain and during the withdrawal. Important lessons for the planning and execution for the treatment of wounded during combat.
