I am looking into information about battles on Bougainville Island. I have found the names of some of the battles:
Battle of Empress Bay Nov 1&2 1943
Battle of Genga River Nov 1944
Battles of Slater's Knoll (dates unknown)
I would like to know something about the battles and the topography of the Island. I know that the U.S. fought there in 1943, then I read that the Australians fought there later. I don't understand, did the Americans pull out?
I'm hoping someone knows some details about these battles and the topography of the place.
