Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I noho tonu te hōia ki Ceylon tae noa ki te Hōngongoi 1942, i te wā i hoki mai ai te 16th me te 17th Brigades ki Ahitereiria. I te taenga mai i Akuhata, ka whakahoutia te ope taua ki Greta, New South Wales. I tēnei wā, i New Guinea, kei te anga whakamua ngā Hapanihi ki Port Moresby
He aha? Ko nga hoia Militia i whakaroa i te timatanga i whakaroahia e te 21th me te 25th Brigade, a, ko enei hoia i aukati i te whakaterenga a nga Hapanihi. I muri mai ka tukuna te 16th Brigade i te wa i tiimata ai nga Ahitereiria ki te whakaeke i nga Hapanihi ki o raatau papa huri noa i Buna<unk>Gona. I whakawhiwhia te 2/1st Field Regiment ki te tiaki i Port Moresby i te timatanga, engari i te marama o Noema i wehe nga waahanga o te 51st Battery ki te tautoko i te whakaeke a te US 32nd Infantry Division ki Buna, i te wa i tukuna ai te toenga o te puhiko ki te tautoko i te whakaeke a te 7th Division ki Gona. I te marama o Hanuere 1943, ko te 2nd Battery, me te tari matua o te ope, i neke ki Buna, a, i nekehia te 1st Battery ki Wau i reira i tautoko ai ratou i a Kanga Force i te Pakanga o Wau. I tenei wa, ko te waahanga nui o te reimana i whakamahia ki te whakaara i te X Field Battery huri noa i Pari, ki te kaimahi 18-pounder nga pu whenua i te taha o nga tauranga tauranga hou i Buna, i mua i te tuku ki Oro Bay. I te Hui-tanguru 1943, i whakawatea ratou e te &lt;a href="2/6th%20Field%20Regiment%20%28Australia%29"&gt;2/6th Field Regiment&lt;/a&gt; ka hoki ki Port Moresby, i te mea i noho tonu te 1 Battery ki Wau puta noa i te pakanga o Salamaua<unk>Lae.
