| Morrie...I have a question....which area of New Guinea was he serving in?.....North Coast from the sounds of it......there was a campaign as part of a larger operation called CARTWHEEL that was designed to not only encircle Raubaul (and bypass, though this was not planned at first.).......Macarthur's landing in the Admiralty Islands was matched by a push around the Northern Papuan Coast, in an effort to clear the approaches to Rabaul, and aiming eventually for the Island of BIAK....... |
