Russian Chapel , Vršič The Russian Chapel at the Vršič Pass ( ) is a Russian Orthodox memorial chapel located on the Vršič Pass road in northwestern Slovenia . It was built by Russian prisoners of war engaged in forced labor in the area during World War I . History . In early 1915 , the small town of Kranjska Gora suddenly became strategically important due to its proximity to the Isonzo Front . To facilitate access from the town to the front , the Austro - Hungarian authorities ordered the construction of a military road across Vršič , a 1 , 611 m pass between the Sava and Soča valleys , to be built by Russian POW s . The road was begun in May 1915 , and was completed by the end of the year . To ensure an uninterrupted supply of materiel to the front lines , the pass was to be kept traversable year - round , and the POWs were made to clear the road of heavy snowfall . On 8 or 12 March 1916 ( sources vary ) , an avalanche buried a POW work camp , killing approximately 300 prisoners and about 10 guards . Exact casualty figures were never determined , either for the victims of the avalanche of for those of the brutal overwork and appalling conditions . The Russian camp was located roughly halfway up the slope of Vršic . Between 1916 and 1917 , the remaining prisoners built a small wooden memorial chapel . The building is of typical Russian design , with two small towers on either side of the nave , and is surrounded by prisoners ' graves and a pyramid - shaped memorial marker to the immediate right of the chapel . The site was renovated in 2005 , at a cost of €90 , 000 , and serves as both a war memorial and a symbolic link between Slovenia and Russia . The pass road was renamed " Ruska cesta " ( ' Russian Road ' ) in July 2006 .

Wau Airport , Papua New Guinea Wau Airport is an airport serving Wau in Papua New Guinea . A grass runway was constructed in 1927 by Cecil Levien with the assistance of native labourers . The first landing at Wau was made on 19 April 1927 by Ernest Mustar in a De Havilland DH . 37 owned by Guinea Gold Airways from Lae Airfield . The airfield was extended during the Second World War to 1500 x 100 x 4000 yards as described in 1942 . Wau airfield was a rough Kunai grass airstrip in length with a 12 % slope heading directly for Mount Kaindi . Aircraft could approach from the northeast only , landing uphill and taking off downhill . The mountain at the end of the runway prevented second attempts at landing and precluded extension of the strip . Pilots had to manoeuvre Dakotas under clouds and through dangerous passes , " dodging a peak here and cloud there " , landing at high speeds . This required good visibility , but the weather over Owen Stanley Range was characterised by frequent storms , down drafts , and mists which rose from the jungle floor . The Imperial Japanese Army sent 3 , 000 troops from Salamaua and Mubo along the Black Cat Track to seize Wau Airfield from the Australians . The Japanese force was known as the Okabe Detachment and was commanded by Major General Toru Okabe . The Japanese offensive was stopped by the Australian Army force known as Kanga Force in the battle of Wau . A Royal Australian Air Force C - 47 Dakota ( # A65 - 92 ) crashed at the airfield on 22 October 1960 and was written off .
