One of the more forgotten, grislier campaigns of World War II was the Buna Trail campaign in New Guinea. The American 32nd Infantry Division had the job of driving the Japanese back over the Owen Stanley Mountain. It succeeded, at the cost of more than 10'000 casualties, four-fifths of them from tropical diseases contracted in the face of heavy rain, deep depths of mud, rugged terrain, rancid weather, shortage of supplies, and the Japanese.
