Australian soldier, Private George “Dick” Whittington, is aided by Papuan orderly Raphael Oimbari, near Buna on 25 December 1942. The native helpers were called “Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels” by the Australians. [505 x 600]
>The Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels was the name given by Australian soldiers to Papua New Guinean war carriers who, during World War II, were recruited to bring supplies up to the front and carry injured Australian troops down the Kokoda trail during the Kokoda Campaign. “Fuzzy-Wuzzy” was originally used by British soldiers in the 19th century as a name for Hadendoa warriors on the Red Sea coast of the Sudan, and referred to their elaborate butter-matted hairstyles. The Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels were named for both their frizzy hair and helpful role.
>A private is a soldier of the lowest military rank (equivalent to NATO Rank Grades OR-1 to OR-3 depending on the force served in).
In modern military writing, “private” is abridged to “Pte” in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth of Nations countries and to “Pvt.” in the United States.
