The 2/5 Company served at Wau, Lae and Salamaua in 1942 when men such as these were the only force in action on the fringes of the defense line in north New Guinea. They dominated the hills above the Japanese base and carried out a dramatic attack on Salamaua, causing major casualties to the enemy. They  ended their war in the invasion at Balikpapan in Borneo.
