The unit history of the 2/3rd Australian Infantry Battalion, 16th Brigade, 6th Division, written by Ken Clift DCM and published in 1980. The 2/3rd was recruited largely from the west and south-west of NSW and saw action across some of the most demanding campaigns of the Second World War — Bardia, Tobruk, Greece, Crete and Syria in the Middle East and Mediterranean, and then recalled to defend Australia on the Kokoda Trail and in subsequent New Guinea campaigns through to 1945.
Neville Parnell's history of the RAAF's Bristol Beaufighter squadrons in the Second World War — No. 30, 31 and 92 Squadrons, 77 Wing, 93 Training Squadron and 5 OTU. The Beaufighter was a heavy fighter derived from the Beaufort torpedo bomber, flying with the RAAF from 1942 in the anti-shipping and ground attack role across the South West Pacific.
