Gallipoli

G'day, Hawkeye, with regard to this [1], I just wanted to clarify that it was removed because of the landing during the Battle of Goodenough Island? If so, perhaps the wording could be tweaked a little. For instance Dean p. 218 in Australia 1943 uses the construction "first major Australian amphibious operation since Gallipoli", with a footnote about the Goodenough Island landing on 22 October 1942. Would that work in your opinion? Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 00:23, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That would work. The reason was that both Goodenough and Lae were unopposed. Per your article on the Huon Peninsula campaign: [Finschhafen] was the first opposed amphibious landing that Australian forces had made since Gallipoli. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:28, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Finished with this article unless you can think of something else that needs covering. Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:35, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

G'day, Hawkeye, thanks for your efforts. I've added the Gallipoli point back, albeit based on how Dean words it. Please feel free to tweak as you see fit. I will try to see if maybe I can fit a bit more about the advancing units themselves, but overall I think you've done a fantastic job. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 09:44, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think I'm done now, too. Thanks for your work. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 11:54, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
