The author, Osmar White, was a New Zealand-born, Australian journalist with The Herald and Weekly Times during the Japanese invasion of Papua New Guinea in 1942, and became a war correspondent and embedded journalist with the Australian forces there. Together with famed Australian war photographer, Damien Parer, and famed war correspondent, Chester Wilmot, he covered the Kokoda Track Campaign, detailing the trials and triumphs of allied troops during that time. Later White was seriously wounded during the New Georgia campaign, and while recovering in Australia from his injuries, he wrote this book, Green Armour, which described in detail the harsh conditions of the Kokoda Track Campaign. It was the combined writings and testimony of White, Wilmot, and Parer that led to the Allies adopting mottled green camouflage uniforms for troops engaging in jungle warfare. Quantity Available: 1.
