Battle of Goodenough Island
The Allies landed on Goodenough Island, Papua, and clashed with a Japanese Kaigun Rikusentai. The Japanese troops had been stranded on the island during the Battle of Milne Bay in late August 1942. It is the northernmost of the D’Entrecasteaux Islands to the north-east of Papua, separated by the 15-mile wide Ward Hunt Strait.
