Buuxi weedha soo socota: Bishii Sebtember 1942, Blamey wuxuu go'aansaday in uu u diro qeybta 6-aad ee Papua si ay gacan uga geysato joojinta horumarka Japan ee dhinaca
Wadada loo yaqaanno Kokoda. Wuxuu booqday Taliye General Sydney Rowell, oo ah taliyaha New Guinea Force iyo I Corps, oo ku yaal Port Moresby wuxuuna weydiiyay cidda uu doorbidayo inuu hoggaamiyo qeybta. Rowell wuxuu doortay Vasey, sidaas darteed Vasey wuxuu noqday taliyaha qeybta 6-aad, waxaana lagu beddelay DCGS Berryman. Dabayaaqadii bishaas, General Douglas MacArthur iyo Ra'iisul Wasaare John Curtin ayaa ku amray Blamey inuu si shaqsi ah u qabto taliska Ciidanka New Guinea. Kadib markii uu khilaaf soo kala dhex galay, Blamey wuxuu marka hore ka saaray Rowell, isagoo ku beddelay Herring, ka dibna Major General Arthur "Tubby" Allen oo ka tirsan Qaybta 7aad. Bishii Oktoobar 27keedii, Vasey wuxuu u duulay Myola si uu u bedelo Allen.
