Der Schwarze Tag”
CHAPTER XIV “DER SCHWARZE TAG” ’rHE Australian infantry winding along their numerous approach tracks, constantly passing black silent masses of waiting tanks and crowded guns, were excited with their own realisation of the facts to which Monash’s message referred- that at last all five divisions of their national army were attack- ing together, that the Canadian force was attacking beside them, and that this time they were not to be stopped short of the opposing guns-and also of the elating circumstance that, so far, the enemy showed no awareness of the blow about to fall. The infantry brigades started their approach at different hours, mostly between midnight and 1.30 a.m.; the troops of the two divisions that were to launch the first stages of attack (at 4.20) mostly passed through-and reached their jumping-off tapes before-those of the two divisions for the second objective. These then followed and assembled behind them.’ At 3 a.m. when most units of the leading divisions had thus assembled and lain down, but about half of the two rearward ones were still moving up the tracks close behind them,2 the air became dimmed by a morning mist which quickly thickened until at 3.30 it was difficult to see more than twenty yards on either side. “It was getting too foggy to be pleasant,” said Col. Sadler of the 17th Battalion afterwards describing the assembly. Men of Elliott’s 15th Brigade, then toiling up from Bois 1’AbbC to their starting lines by the brickfield in rear of the Australian right, have told how they were becoming anxious as to their direction when lights were suddenly seen in the mist ahead and there was the number of their battalion, 57, glowing above 1 In some places. -

The 3Rd New Zealand Division and Operation ‘Squarepeg’

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. “With the utmost precision and team play”: The 3rd New Zealand Division and Operation ‘Squarepeg’ A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts (Defence & Strategic Studies) by Shaun Mawdsley Centre for Defence and Security Studies College of Humanities and Social Sciences Massey University 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the influences and course of the 3rd New Zealand (NZ) Division’s preparations for Operation ‘Squarepeg’ in the Green Islands, in February 1944. It argues that as the largest New Zealand amphibious operation of the Second World War, ‘Squarepeg’ holds a key place in identifying the development of amphibious and jungle warfare doctrine within the New Zealand Army during the war. As such, it can indicate the abilities of the 3rd NZ Division to conduct combat operations in the South Pacific in 1944. The thesis shows that the New Zealand Army was unprepared for operations in the South Pacific, as it had neglected relevant inter-war developments. The hasty formation of the 3rd NZ Division in 1942, as a response to Japanese expansion in the South Pacific, served to highlight the challenges that the division and its commander, Major-General Harold Barrowclough, had to overcome. The studying of foreign doctrine to supplement the dearth of New Zealand material was vital for the 3rd NZ Division’s preparations for deployment.
