Australian and Papuan troops, including the Papua New Guinea Infantry Battalion and units from the Australian Army, played a crucial role in holding back Japanese forces on the Kokoda Track during World War II. Notably, the 39th Battalion of the Australian Army, along with the Papuan Infantry Battalion, engaged in fierce battles to delay the advance of Japanese troops until reinforcements could arrive. Their resilience and determination were pivotal in the overall defense of Papua New Guinea.
