  • ARMY!! My ass. The landings on Bougainville commenced on 1 November and the Army didn't land until 8 November. The main casualties were all Marines during that first week. Check military history books. The 9th Marines and the 3rd Marine Division get the honor here.

  • @FBlackRules agree man. Bougainville was a tough fight as well as New Georgia, Munda Trail, Buna Gona. All fought by US Army.

  • This campaign does not receive enough attention. By cutting off Rabaul and letting the base there wither, this strategic objective was an important part of the Island hopping program.
