Review comment

B class but there are 2 issues that need to be addressed. Djmaschek (talk) 05:15, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The first sentence under History ends with "while Papua ." There is something missing. I cannot even guess what is intended because of Papua's rather vague status at the time.
The sentence that begins, "The battalion was formed in June 1945 in the territory of New Guinea..." follows another sentence that refers to the NG Volunteer Rifles. I think by "battalion" you mean the 3 NGIB. In any case, please make it clearer which battalion you are referring to. Thanks.
- Thanks for picking these up. I think I have rectified these points now. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 05:26, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
