    In researching material on a Sapper Duncan MM, I'm trying to trace information on the formation of his Engineer Company 23 Field Company.
    To operate a bulldozer on a beach head while under continuous attack from the Japanese while assisting the 8th Brigade Group on Treasury Islands takes courage and he needs to be remembered.

    Sapper J. K. Duncan gets a brief mention in the official history. You can also follow the 23 Field Company link and the advice about searching the official history for more unit references.

    Thank you for your reply.
    Have tracked down his citation and the entry on Auckland online cenotaph has some information.
    Its the formation and movements of his company I'm particularly interested in, however any information on Duncan and his company is appreciated.
