It may have been more than occasional disobedience. I have interviewed some veterans who say that there were serious discipline problems in the Australian army on Bougainville towards the end of the war.
Incidentally it is a beautiful island, lovely people, and unmolested battlefields to tramp over. Years ago I saw the plane Yamamoto was shot down in and I hear that it is still there. Bougainville is well worth a visit.
