    New Guinea  

Second largest island in the world, to the north of Australia. It is politically divided into two halves: Papua New Guinea on the eastern side, and Irian Jaya, part of Indoesia the western half. During WWII, New Guinea was the site of intense fighting and battles on land, sea and air that lasted from the start of the war. Even until the surrender of Japan, pockets of Japanese resistance and troops fought on in New Guinea.
