Battle of Brisbane

[JJA122]

I remember many years ago I watched a documentary that focused on Americans that were posted in Australia during WW2. ~15,000 Americans ended up marrying Australian women. And the Australian men were pissed off that these "overpaid, over-sexed" foreigners were stealing their women.

One thing really shocked me, filling a hot tub full of beer, having the women dunk their tits in, and sucking off the beer. One woman had to go to hospital from sore nips. That's the only thing I can remember, but there were other hijinks involved. I'm fairly sure there was cheating involved. "My husband probably won't come back from the front," kind of thing.

This animosity ended in the "Battle of Brisbane", a drunken brawl with guns, which was covered up by both governments, least the Japanese turn the news into propaganda.

Never saw the documentary, but am familiar with the jealously 'native men' accorded the Americans, both in Britain and Australia. The women, of course, were more accommodating. Anyway, would LOVE to read a story like this.

My particular idea revolved around the Trafalgar Square in London, where apparently legions of GIs and local women cavorted after dark back in WWII. Older sis keeps disappearing every night. Younger, innocent sis decides to follow and is gobsmacked by the debauchery she sees.

There is a book, The Battle of Brisbane by Peter A Thompson and Robert Macklin. Read it many years ago but recall it being worthwhile. When Literotica ran the One Night in XXX event, I’d briefly considered a story, One Night in Brisbane, based on the Battle of Brisbane. I didn’t go with it, but it’s definitely a worthy subject for someone to have a crack at. It would require some research if wishing to ensure authenticity.

For example, I think there were more issues than simply the ‘Yanks’ being ‘over-paid, over-sexed and over-here’. Issues such as leniency, perks and control given to US troops at the expense of Australian Diggers. At the time, mid-to-late 1942, Australian troops had been successful in combat against the Germans and Italians in North Africa and the Middle East, and battling the Japanese on the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea. While many of the US Navy and Marine personnel in Australia at that time had also experienced combat in battles of the South Pacific, the US Army sent to Australia hadn’t. From memory the 32nd and 41st US Infantry Divisions arrived in mid-1942, green and untested in combat, but bragged they’d come to show the Aussies how to fight, despite Australian troops already in the thick of fighting for years. This got on people’s goats, and of course there was General Douglas MacAuthur being put in charge of virtually everything, who'd already earned the nick-name among his own men as ‘Dugout Doug’ in the Philippines, and now commanding the battle from his bunkers in Sydney and Brisbane, and sending subordinates such as General Eichelberger to the front, bravely giving him the order to, “…take Buna, or not come back alive.”

But I digress...there are some excellent opportunities for people to do their work on a Battle of Brisbane story, because many Australian women did become war brides. I might even bother to have a crack one day

Another US personnel in Australia during 2nd World War could be centred on the US Navy submarine operations of Fremantle in WA, where many submariners and locals got on famously.

It helps that the female Australian accent is considered sexy by many.

I think the Aussies were not impressed by the segregation of and attitude to Negro's either.
