Ralph Honner was born in 1904 into the last vestiges of pioneering Australia and combined many of the "pioneering" values with a classical education to become an Australian hero. He fought as a junior officer in the first Australian battles of World War II in bardia, Tobruk and Derna. he then took part in the heartbreaking and disastrous campaigns in Greece and Crete, where he was one of the last Australians to be evacuated by submarine, three months after Crete's fall. It was on the Kokoda Trail and at Gona in Papua New Guinea in 1942, however, that Honner played a major role in the turning point of the war in the South West Pacific Area and became a part of an Australian legend. Worshipped by the men he commanded, he was severely wounded in 1943. After a long convalescence, he continued to serve his country as a public servant, political figure and diplomat.
