Overview:
3 New Zealand Division arrived at Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands in mid-September 1943. A month later, they received orders to seize and hold Stirling and Mono Islands, where the Americans planned to establish a long-range radar station. The New Zealanders landed on Mono Island at about 6.25 a.m. in the face of enemy machine-gun fire, and managed to establish a beachhead alongside American forces. By the end of the day, 21 New Zealanders had been killed and 70 wounded. Although the Japanese defenders were outnumbered, Mono’s geography afforded them some protection. The island rose steeply from the sea, and dense forest concealed many caves in which the enemy was able to hide. Clearing the island was a slow and difficult task. It was declared clear of Japanese forces on 7 November, but isolated enemy positions held out for weeks longer.Attacker: American / New Zealand (29th Battalion, 8th Brigade, 3rd New Zealand Division, the US 87th Naval Battalion Beach Working Party, and US 198th Coastal Artillery Battalion)
Defender: Japanese (Special Naval Landing Force detachment of the 6th Infantry Division, 17th Army)
