G'day, thanks for your efforts on this article so far. It seems to be coming along quite nicely. I've made a couple of minor cosmetic tweaks, and have a few suggestions: AustralianRupert ( talk) 21:08, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

The subsequent major engagements for units under New Guinea Force were the following -
When forces were fighting a rearguard action on the Kokoda Trail to prevent the Japanese from reaching Port Moresby, 4th Bde of 3rd Div was sent to Milne Bay in Apr 42 to assist in protection (and expansion) of the airfield and in anticipation of the creation of an amphibious force to defend the coastal approaches to Milne Bay and Port Moresby. Construction of the airstrip commenced on 8 June 1942, with 76 & 75 Sqns arriving in late July. A Japanese amphibious force attacked in an effort to capture the airfield, but miscalculated the number of Allied troops and were eventually pushed back into the sea and forced to retreat. The was the first major defeat of Japanese land forces in the region. [1]
In late-September, 1942, the Australian forces began pushing the Japanese back toward Buna. The retreat of the enemy forces quickly became a rout, with many falling to , starvation, illness and the environment, not just Australian attacks. [2]
After a disastrous start by the inexperienced US 32nd Infantry Division, the advance was restarted by the Australian 7th Division, with Gona falling in Dec, 1942, Buna in January, 1943, and Sanananda (between the two larger villages) later that same month. [3] [4]

Thankyou AustralianRupert & Anotherclown for the pages of the major engagements that I've somehow only just noticed.
