Milne Force was a garrison force formed in July 1942 during the World War II which controlled allied naval, land and air units in the region of Milne Bay, in the Territory of Papua. The force was responsible for constructing airstrips, roads, camps and defensive positions. Milne Force successfully withheld a Japanese invasion which landed on 25 August during the Battle of Milne Bay and forced the invasion force to retreat on 5 September. On 1 October 1942, Milne Force was redesignated the 11th Division. == Commanders == *Brigadier John Field (11 July – 23 August 1942) *Major General Cyril Clowes (23 August – 1 October 1942) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milne Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
