For many years, PNGAA members and contributors to Una Voce have shown a developed interest in the history and events surrounding the Battle of Bitapaka at the outbreak of World war I and its aftermath. That interest extends to the battle itself wherein the first Australian soldiers to die in WWI lost their lives; the loss of the submarine AE1, and the aftermath of the surrender of German Imperial Forces in New Guinea and the installation of Australian military rule. For those PNGAA members interested in going direct to back-issues of Una Voce discussing some of these events, the following reference list has been compiled. It is not exhaustive but it gives a lead to some of the more interesting anecdotes and discussions.
In the references in the left column below, the figures before the hyphen indicate the issue of Una Voce, and the number after the hyphen is the page reference. Click on the link to download the PDF file of that issue, then scroll through to the required page.
