The 126 th belonged to the 32 nd division a national guard formation from Michigan and Wisconsin. The 2nd battalion of the 126th crossed the Owen Stanley Range by the Jaure track, meeting up with 16 th Bde (father's unit) at Soputa.
Bob I found this information in the book South West Pacific Area First Year. By the way I am pretty slow on these things so if I put my bathers on and surf the net I could end up on a beach anywhere that would be a nasty shock to the locals.
