KOKODA - the Track Back

Ruth James is a TESOL English teacher with an inherent passion for writing and history, including poetry which has been published internationally. The accomplished author of Returned With a Creed, the World War 1 military history of her grandfather's AIF 9/41st Battalion, Ruth continues his legacy in her novel, Coming Home From France, due for release in late 2023. Ruth's passion for Papua New Guinea and teaching alongside this beautiful country's inspiring teachers is further compelled by the stories and legacies of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels, the famous Carriers of World War 2. A fourth-generation Queenslander, Ruth grew up in Redcliffe before settling in Bundaberg with her family in 1987.
