While Dr Smaal says the ''girls'' were simply one group of Australians - most likely there were also butch Australians going with effeminate Americans - it just so happens this is the group they have found out about. We had relations with them.'' Others spoke of how ''Aunties'' took less-experienced men under their wings and taught them the ''tricks of the trade''. Once or twice we went along the beach, other times we went in parties in trucks into the bush. ''Several times we were 'picked up' by Australian or American soldiers.

In one excerpt from the army files, a soldier recounts how he would go about with other ''kamp'' men, visiting the American Red Cross at Ela Beach. ''They were, in the words of the US army provost who alerted Australian officials, men who 'practised the female side of homosexuality'.'' There were usually about 15 US men to six 'girls' at these parties and it was common for the Australians to have more than one partner a night to keep the men satisfied.''ĭr Smaal says the role-playing of the ''girls'' in New Guinea was shaped by commonly held notions of the day about sexuality and gender. Some Americans would often take half a dozen Australian 'girls', as they were known, out to the bush by jeep or truck where sex would take place. '' 'Trade' were often found at the bar at the American Red Cross at Ela Beach where a large 'kamp' crowd hung about. An historian from Griffith University, his PhD on sexuality in WWII sparked his research with Dr Willett. ''Sex was certainly central to their wartime experience and the Americans were particularly prized,'' says Dr Smaal of those 18 soldiers. The file, and other New Guinea research material, reveals such things as wild sex parties in the jungle, regular sexual horseplay, and liaisons with American soldiers in old shower blocks.

The stories in the National Archives file, however, are different to those other sources: they not only give extraordinary insight into the lives of homosexual men on the frontline, but also detail their first sexual experiences, relationships and friendships, sex lives, army experiences and their relationships with each other and the American soldiers stationed nearby. Other incidents the researchers came across involved a more clearly articulated homosexual identity. This is possibly the case with some of the 1945 ''jungle juice'' soldiers in Borneo. The accounts include ''situational sex'' between men - ''making do'' because there were no women around, so that ''butch'' men might have sex with ''queens'' with no loss to their masculine status. They initially pieced together fractured accounts from novels, diaries, memoirs, oral histories and official records. The historians, whose research was partly funded by the Australian Army History Unit, say they had long suspected homosexuality in the armed services was far more common than traditionally acknowledged. The soldiers' names and identifying material have been withheld, but the file details how army authorities, for the first time, began to tackle the idea that there was a difference between homosexual behaviour and homosexual identity.ĭr Willett, a senior lecturer at the University of Melbourne's Australian Centre, suspects that the men agreed to tell their stories in detail in exchange for a medical discharge rather than a dishonourable one. The records include the life stories of 18 of these soldiers, who were interviewed by a major after they were reported for illicit sex by a United States defence investigator.

One of the key episodes outlined in the fuller file is about a series of incidents in New Guinea in late 1943 involving a group of self-identifying homosexual - or ''kamp'' - men.

Now, historians are telling a different, more realistic story thanks to the release of an army file on the discharge of male homosexuals in WWII.ĭuring investigations over the past two years, researchers Yorick Smaal and Graham Willett gained almost complete access to the National Archives file, first released in 1992 but in a heavily edited form that revealed little. Official silence, a veil of secrecy and even outright disbelief about wartime sex among servicemen has reigned supreme ever since, compounded by mythologies about Aussie diggers and the ''mateship'' legend.
