BASTARD BEHIND THE LINES
By Tom Gilling
This is the story of an Aussie war hero largely forgotten by history, and what a story it is! The Japanese put a bounty on Jock McLaren’s head as he escaped Japanese POW camps, fought with American-led Filipino guerrillas and sailed his whaleboat into enemy-held harbours before joining Australia’s legendary Z Special Unit.
