Lost Battlefield Found in Papua New Guinea Jungles

In 2010, an untouched battlefield from WWII was found in Papua New Guinea’s jungles by an Australian trekker named Brian Freeman. In fact, the field still had remains of Japanese troops who had died there about 70 years prior. When Freeman looked into maps and diaries from the war he found out about a large 1942 battle in Papua New Guinea’s Eora Creek that ended with 79 dead and 145 Australian troops wounded. That’s why he searched until he found the site, untouched by the local Alola people. They feared the spirits of the dead soldiers haunted the field and also worried about any leftover grenades.
