    Lt. Col Ralph Honner is a World War II hero and one of Australia’s best-known officers.

    He is remembered for his inspired efforts leading the exhausted men of the 39th battalion in their heroic defence at Isurava on the arduous Kokoda Track. He also inflicted a decisive defeat on the Japanese at Gona on the Northern coast of New Guinea, where he was severely wounded.

    After his retirement, Honner went on to serve as the ambassador to Ireland.

    A man of faith and a poetic soul, he was deeply respected and admired by the men he led, and even honoured by his enemies.
