dc.description.abstractAn American professor of military history identified Oivi/Gorari as the most significant land battle in the Pacific theatre in WW2 and yet Most Australians have never heard of the battle. In this article, I outline the story behind the installation of a monument in Papua New Guinea to commemorate the Battle for Oivi/Gorari. The battle took place in November 1942 in the vicinity of the village of Gorari and spanned eight days, costing the lives of 133 Australian soldiers with an additional 225 soldiers wounded. One of those wounded in that battle was my father.en_US
