on the Kokoda Track. There they were thrust into action at a critical point, and after the
Japanese attack was exhausted, they took part in the fighting around the beachheads around Gona after the Allies pursued the withdrawing Japanese northwards. One of the 2/14th's members, Private Bruce Kingsbury, received the Victoria Cross for his actions around Isurava in late August 1942. Throughout 1943–45 the battalion saw further action against the Japanese during the advance through the Markham and Ramu Valleys and on Borneo. It was disbanded after the war. Thank you to everyone who stops by to review the article. Regards,

Perhaps consider something like: "Soon after battalion headquarters was established, the battalion's first commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel William Cannon, began choosing his officers, who then set about the task of forming their own companies and platoons, as the

Victorian infantry battalion of the Second Australian Imperial Force, this unit formed part of the 21st Infantry Brigade, which was assigned to the 7th Division. After fighting in Syria against the Vichy French, the battalion returned to Australia and was later committed to the fighting

The start of the Gona section seems a bit abrupt as there doesn't seem to be an explanation of how the situation had gone from that at the end of the last section (the 25th
Brigades arrival on the Kokoda Track to relieve the 21st Brigade just as they were preparing to make a final stand) to the

Minor repetitive wording here: "Soon after battalion headquarters was established, the battalion's first commanding officer, Lieutenant
Colonel William Cannon, began choosing his officers, who then set about the task of forming their own companies and platoons, as the battalion structure..."

Johnston 2005 p. 248 gives slightly different overall casualty figures from those cited from the AWM and
Russell. Specifically he give 182 KIA, 25 DOW, 15 DOAS, 378 WIA and 11 POW. Perhaps also include this in the note to acknowledge the differences b/n sources?

Australians moving on the
Japanese beachheads. What happened to allow this? You seem to explain it in the lead but not in the text (i.e. the Japanese being force to begin to withdraw back up the track after having reached the end of their supply line etc)

Rhoden is wikilinked in an image caption rather than on his first mention in the article body itself (the Lae and the
Finisterres section). Not sure of the appropriate practice here.
291:"Before being withdrawn back to Australia in March 1944..." this phrase seems a little out of place in this paragraph. It seems like it is also mentioned in the following section.

G'day, AC, thanks for taking the time to review this. I've added the US licences to the images on
Commons and I think I've fixed the other issues you raise. These are my edits:

The makeup of D Company personnel; you mention A through to C. I suspect it is not available otherwise I'm sure you would have included it but thought I would check anyway.

Repetitive phrasing here: "...battalion began the 32-kilometre (20 mi) march towards Gona and on 29 November the battalion..." ("the battalion x 2), perhaps reword one?

226:
Tool checks ok: no dabs, external links check out, no issues with ref consolidation, no repeat links, Earwig tool reports no issues with close paraphrasing etc

456:
I'm not sure either, to be honest, just added a link. The duplicate link checker tool doesn't seem to highlight it as overlink, so I assume it must be okay.
