Kokoda is a 2010 ABC documentary about the Kokoda Campaign. Using a mixture of archival footage, interviews and dramatic reconstructions, it tells the story of the fierce and bitter campaign, from the fighting on the ground to the politics behind the battle. It is noteworthy for the impressive effort put into obtaining historically accurate firearms for the productions.
The following weapons were used in the documentary Kokoda:
Rifles
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*
The main weapon of both the 39th Battalion Militiamen and the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) in the documentary is the Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*, in particular by Captain Basil Catterns and Pte. Laurie 'Smoky' Hausen.
Arisaka Type 38
The Imperial Japanese Army soldiers in the documentary use the Arisaka Type 38.
