Generals at Battlefields - Against seemingly impregnable defences which the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Lana Forces, General Sir Thomas Blarney said equaled the "best of the first World War, and constructed in the jungle from which the enemy had to be driven yard by yard, Australians and Americans scored a bloody victory over the Japanese at Buna. General Sir Thomas Blarney and the Commander of the Americans Lieut. General R.L. Eichelberger saw for themselves the terrible conditions under which the Allies fought, and the country ideal for defensive warfare from which the Japanese had to be thrown out. January 18, 1943.
