Overview:
After a textbook landing, the men of the 2/28th Battalion moved rapidly inland from “Brown Beach”, meeting little resistance as they moved through the heavily damaged Labuan town. Not all the Japanese were gone however, and two were shot moments before Generals MacArthur and Morehead, the Australian Divisional Commander, arrived with an entourage of photographers to inspect the landing. Ahead of the celebrities, the bitter realities of war srtarted again, with fighting increasing as the troops pushed north. D (“Don”) Company, under Captain Eastman, had been tasked with taking a bridge over a canal that lay astride “Baker” route and the high ground that lay beyond. The bridge was found to have been blown. Infantry from the first section moved across the tumbled cement slabs of the ruined bridge and the waiting Japanese opened fire with rifles and machineguns.Attacker: Australian (D Company, 2/28th and 2/9th Armoured Regiment)
Defender: Japanese (371st Battalion, 56th Independent Mixed Brigade)
