   The story of 'Milne Force' and Japan's first major land defeat at Milne Bay in New Guinea. Japanese Marines tried to capture the airfield but were thrown back into the sea by Australian RAAF squadrons, our AIF troops and Militia soldiers and some Americans. This covers all services and mentions all units in the area during the fighting--including the Japanese.

It contains a potted history of many units, an index and profiles of leading figures.
