Wau, New Guinea 1943-02-03 (1 other)

Overview:

The arrival at Wau of Major Warfe's 2/3rd Independent Company signaled a new phase in the battle, as the Australians sought to mop-up elements of the Okabe Detachment still posing a threat to the airfield. Warfe began patrolling between the town and the Bulolo Valley and soon found the Japanese in a copse to the north. A sharp engagement ensued, in which the enemy exacted a bloody toll from the aggressive commandos, who fought hand to hand in the bitter closing chapters of the Battle for Wau.

Defender: Japanese (Okabe Detachment, 102nd Infantry Regt, 51st Infantry Division)
