Overview:
There was little strategic need to take Balikpapan, an oil producing port on the eats coast of Borneo but the invasion was to continue. The 2/10th Battalion, veterans of North Africa and the savage fighting in New Guinea, had been tasked with taking the ridge line overlooking the landing beaches, codenamed Parramatta. The first objective, at the eastern end of the ridge, was Hill 87. Ample support had been promised, but by mid-morning most of the tanks were still on the beaches, and due to radio problems, much of the artillery was unavailable. Lt. Col. Daly decided to wait no longer and ordered C Company to move off towards the objective. 14 and 15 Platoons moved directly up the slope, with the only tanks available giving support, whilst 13 Platoon hooked left to deal with an outlying Japanese position.Attacker: Australian (C Company, 2/10th Battalion, 7th Division with 1st Armoured Regiment)
Defender: Japanese (1st Battalion, 22nd NavalLanding Force)
