The engine that saved the free world?
In 1970 in Primary School rural NSW, my teacher would daily recite his war experiences from New Guinea and North Africa. Single-handedly he killed Japs and Krauts in the thousands, so I always thought he was The Man that saved the free world.

His name was Norman Gilchrist - yet history seems to have forgotten him?
