Can anyone give me any information about the death of Philip Bagenal SX10367 killed on 19th January 1943 and buried in Port Moresby. Possibly killed during the battle of Buna-Gona Mark Rogers
Hi Mark, The 2/10th were involved at Sanananda at the time Bagenal was killed. The official history covers those dates. Have a look from around p.521 onwards- Chapter 17 – The End of the Road His service records can be ordered as well- https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/ItemsListing.aspx There is a battalion history called 'Puple and Blue' that may have more details. Regards, Scott
Sorry for the delay in replying but thank you both for the excellent information you have supplied. Most appreciated Mark
