Overview:
In late July, the Japanese South Seas Detachment landed on the east coast of New Guinea attempting to secure an overland route to the capital of Port Moresby. A mixture of Australian militia and local militia were sent to delay this landing force. One such unit was led by Captain Sam Templeton who had a unique background. Reputedly starting his military career as a submariner in the Great War. the Irish-born veteran of the Spanish Civil War, he commanded a company of Australian militia in the opening of the Kokoda Trail campaign. At Oivi, Templeton fought a rearguard action which pitted the Australian militia troops, often derisively referred to as "chocolate soldiers" or "chocos", against veteran Japanese infantry.Attacker: Japanese (144th Infantry Regiment, South Seas Detachment)
