The rain fell in sheets across the jungle canopy of northeast New Guinea, each drop finding its way through the dense foliage to the mud below where Captain James Richardson stood motionless, his hand raised in a silent command. It was the morning of September twelfth, nineteen forty-four, and the twenty-nine men of the Australian Second Independent Company had been tracking Japanese movements for six days without rest. Through the downpour, Richardson could see the village of Wandumi nestled in the valley below, its traditional huts barely visible through the mist. Behind him, an American liaison officer from the Thirty-Second Infantry Division, Lieutenant Colonel Frank Morrison, shifted impatiently, his hand moving to the radio pack on his corporal's back. What happened in the next four hours would determine not just the fate of one hundred and forty-three indigenous villagers, but the entire structure of Allied intelligence gathering across the Southwest Pacific theater. The question that hung in that jungle air, heavy as the humidity itself, was whether one Australian officer would risk his career, his men, and potentially the alliance itself by refusing a direct order from a superior American command.
