A quick web search shows that no one seems to care too much about the GC concerning mustard gas.

I don't feel concerned about this current find, but I am concerned about what other nasty little surprises are hidden for future generations to find.

The Japanese almost made it to Australia a couple of times. They even managed to get a submarine into Sydney harbour and they bombed Darwin, and almost made through PNG and onto Cape York.

The threat was pretty real for Australians at the time which I guess is why such horrible weapons were prepared by US troops. Just in case.
