From Generation To Generation

Since 1942, the villagers kept mum about this special war secret. They passed this knowledge on from one generation to the next.

It had been one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific theater. No one outside the village had ever seen this place until Freeman was lucky enough to have located the lost battlefield of the Eora Creek.
