Benjamin Ijumi, chief of Kokoda in Papua New Guinea, leads compatriots on way to Battle for Australia commemoration in Sydney. Benjamin Ijumi (front), chief of Kokoda in Papua New Guinea, leads compatriots Bernard Saputa (L) and Onesimus Konene (2nd-L) past an Australian soldier on the way to the annual Battle for Australia commemoration in Sydney September 7, 2005. Ijumi, Saputa and Konene are known as "Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels", which is a group of hundreds of villagers across Papua New Guinea who assisted Australian troops defending Australia from Japanese forces during World War Two. The name "Fuzzy Wuzzy" was derived from the villagers' frizzy hair. REUTERS/Will Burgess
