During the Second World War, in the mountains and jungles of Timor, Bougainville
and New Guinea, Australian commando units fought arduous campaigns against the
Japanese. The story of these elite independent companies and commando squadrons,
whose soldiers wore the distinctive double-diamond insignia, is told here for
the first time. Through 130 powerful images from the Australian War Memorial's
unparalleled collection - some never published before - Double Diamonds captures
the operational history of these units and the personal stories of the men who
served in them, many of whom lost their lives or the friends who trained and
fought alongside them.
