Gallipoli

edit

G'day, Hawkeye, with regard to this [1], I just wanted to clarify that it was removed because of the landing during the Battle of Goodenough Island? If so, perhaps the wording could be tweaked a little. For instance Dean p. 218 in Australia 1943 uses the construction "first major Australian amphibious operation since Gallipoli", with a footnote about the Goodenough Island landing on 22 October 1942. Would that work in your opinion? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

That would work. The reason was that both Goodenough and Lae were unopposed. Per your article on the Huon Peninsula campaign: [Finschhafen] was the first opposed amphibious landing that Australian forces had made since Gallipoli. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:28, 7 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Finished with this article unless you can think of something else that needs covering. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:35, 7 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
G'day, Hawkeye, thanks for your efforts. I've added the Gallipoli point back, albeit based on how Dean words it. Please feel free to tweak as you see fit. I will try to see if maybe I can fit a bit more about the advancing units themselves, but overall I think you've done a fantastic job.

I think I'm done now, too. Thanks for your work. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 11:54, 8 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
