Battle of Buna–Gona, New Guinea Campaign — December 1942–January 1943: Australian infantry of the 7th Division fought alongside M3 Stuart tanks of the 2/6th Armoured Regiment against Japanese forces defending fortified positions around Buna and Sanananda.

Stuart tanks provided close support against bunkers while infantry and forward scouts cleared concealed positions through the swamps and kunai grass. Independent Company troops also operated across wider New Guinea, conducting reconnaissance, patrols, and attacks against Japanese positions in dense jungle terrain.

Buna-Gona was a joint operation by Australian and American troops. Terrible fighting conditions.

An Avro Lancaster's bomb load; five rows of 500 lb bombs, four per row. This gives a good view of how long the Lancaster's bomb bay is.
