Welcome Dave,and enjoy!!!!!

Have some info re, 16th Battalion AMF. in March 1943 "........arrived at camp on North Australia Road, 53 miles south of Darwin, which was to be their home for next 18 months. On the day they moved in, there was an air raid on a Beaufighter strip nearby, and Jap planes strafed the area, without however, causing any casualties. This was the first of twenty or thirty raids....." they went in 1944 to New Britain.

Also info on 39th batt AMF they were involved Kokoda.

can scan all info and send it if required.

regards Richard
