The battle of the Beach Heads, November 1942 - January 1943 / Fred Cranston.
Abstract
There have been many 50th military anniversaries celebrated over the past twelve months or so. One that will probably not be recognised or celebrated. although it had a great significanse to Australia, is the Battle of the Beach Heads fought in New Guinea between November 1942 and January 1943.
The Battle of the Beach Heads was a battle almost won by the anopheles mosquito as both Allied and Japanese forces involved were decimated by this infernal pest.
