To be sent to this battlefield was to pass figuratively through the gates of hell. For two awful months, from 19 November 1942 to 22 January 1943, unit after unit was flailed against obstinate and lethal Japanese defences. -- P.1 Notes "February 2007" Bibliography Includes bibliography: page 15 Notes Commonwealth of Australia 2007 Subject World War, 1939-1945 -- Campaigns -- Australia -- New Guinea.
