Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels deserve recognition

THERE is no doubt that Australia owes a huge debt of gratitude to the soldiers who fought, were injured or sadly died along the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea during World War Two.
However, the PNG locals, nicknamed the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels by the soldiers, have to be remembered and honoured.
Many acted as porters, working in conjunction with the soldiers carrying provisions and ammunition and stretch bearers for the wounded and deceased.
If not for their assistance and dedication to the soldiers, the battle outcome may have been different.
During Anzac Day commemorations, their services must be recognised.
