A secretly developed pill made from an Indigenous medicine helped soldiers avoid seasickness as they landed on the shores of Normandy in 1944. 

The remedy, made with Corkwood, an Indigenous medicine from northern Queensland, was administered to the Allied troops as they crossed the English Channel, ahead of D-Day operations during WWII.
