Village Superstition
Throughout the years, the army uniforms have decomposed, though one could still make out the leather boots, belts, and gun holsters the men had been wearing. The villagers were aware of this battlefield as it was a secret they pass from generation to generation, though superstitious beliefs kept them from disturbing the area. They believed the ghosts of the soldiers will haunt the land if they touched the scene. Brian Freeman believed he must be the first white person to have run into the field since the battle took place in 1942.

Battle of Eora Creek
Brian finally located the lost site of the Battle of Eora Creek. The battle started on October 22, 1942 and ended about a week later. It goes without saying that a lot of blood had been shed during that time. The Australia soldiers, also known as Diggers, were a part of the 16th Brigade, and they trekked through the jungles along the Kokoda Trail. Japanese soldiers were advancing, and they planned on using the region to launch attacks on Australia.
