This article is in good shape. I have a few comments:

in the lead, suggest "during a partial demobilisation" to avoid part and partial so close together

I've never noticed that clumsy wording before! Done. Zawed (talk) 09:37, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

first name for Lieutenant Colonel Tomline?

Got initials. Zawed (talk) 09:37, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

perhaps modify the sentence beginning "By this time, the support company..." by explicitly stating that support company was converted into a fourth rifle company, if that is what happened? How odd that they didn't keep their Vickers guns and mortars, surely they would have been helpful in the jungle?

Have revised and clarified what happened to the weapons. Zawed (talk) 09:47, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"the battalion's commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Seaward, "→"Seaward"

Done. Zawed (talk) 09:37, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

there are a few examples of the dropping of the definite article in front of ordinals like 35th and 37th

Have got these. Zawed (talk) 09:47, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lieutenant Colonel Seaward→Seaward

I'm not sure if Seaward and Moffat are actually notable, if there is any likelihood of them being so, suggest redlinking them at first mention in the body and infobox, if not, remove from infobox

Unlikely to be notable, so have removed from infobox. Zawed (talk) 09:37, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File:Loading LCI, Vella Lavella 1944.jpg licence doesn't look right. Is there such a thing as PD-NZGov? It seems this would probably fall into Crown copyright if it is an official photograph?

That has to be one of my earlier uploads, when I didn't know what I was doing. Have updated the tag now. Zawed (talk) 09:37, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Nice work on this. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:22, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
