Knew a guy who was on the island in WWII and they were allies with headhunters against the nips (can I say that? I am speaking historically). The enemy was damn close to Australia. What is the distance?
Are you soliciting responses,or is that a rhetorical question?I believe as long as your using the word "nips"in a historical context,it's ok.However,i'm not an authority.Just my opinion.
