2 / 2nd Battalion ( Australia ) The 2 / 2nd Battalion was raised at Victoria Barracks , Sydney , on 24 October 1939 as part of the 16th Brigade of the 6th Australian Division . It relocated to the newly opened Ingleburn Camp on 2 November and , after conducting basic training there , sailed for overseas service on 10 January 1940 . After disembarking in Egypt on 13 February 1940 , the 2 / 2nd trained with the rest of the 16th Brigade in Palestine until the end of August . It then moved to Egypt to carry out its final preparations for operations with the 6th Division . The 2 / 2nd Battalion ' s first campaign of the Second World War was the advance from Egypt into eastern Libya in January and February 1941 . It was involved in the attacks to capture Bardia ( 3 – 5 January ) and Tobruk ( 21 – 22 January ) , and remained as part of the Tobruk garrison when the advance continued . The 2 / 2nd left Tobruk on 7 March , ultimately bound for Greece . Arriving in Greece on 22 March , the 2 / 2nd was soon deployed north to resist the anticipated German invasion . It occupied positions at Veria on 7 April , but a succession of withdrawals by the Allies in Greece meant that the battalion did not meet the enemy in battle until 18 April – at Tempe Gorge . There , in a desperate fight , the 2 / 2nd blocked German movement through the gorge to permit the safe withdrawal of Allied forces further south . It held its ground until overwhelmed by vastly superior German forces . Some parties from the battalion later managed to rejoin the main withdrawal south , and were eventually evacuated by the Allied navies , while others made epic escapes through the Greek islands . A group of 189 members of the 2 / 2nd subsequently fought with the 16th Brigade Composite Battalion on Crete . After being rebuilt in Palestine , the 2 / 2nd manned defences in northern Syria between October 1941 and January 1942 . It left the Middle East , heading for the war against Japan , on 11 March 1942 . The 16th and 17th Brigades , however , were diverted on the voyage home . Between 27 March and 13 July they defended Ceylon from possible Japanese attack . The 2 / 2nd finally disembarked in Australia , at Melbourne , on 4 August 1942 . The 2 / 2nd ' s first campaign against the Japanese was the advance along the Kokoda Trail to the Japanese beachheads between September and December 1942 . Fighting major engagements at Templeton ' s Crossing ( 20 October ) , Oivi ( 5 – 12 November ) , and on the Sanananda Track ( 21 November – 10 December ) , the battalion suffered heavily from both wounds and sickness . It arrived in Port Moresby on 21 September 670 strong , but withdrew from the Sanananda Track with only 88 men . 1943 and 1944 were spent training in northern Queensland , and the 2 / 2nd ' s last campaign of the war was the drive to clear the Japanese from the Aitape - Wewak region of New Guinea between December 1944 and August 1945 . For his actions at Dagua during these operations , Lieutenant Albert Chowne was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross . The 2 / 2nd Battalion disbanded in Brisbane on 15 February 1946 .

The Deputy Commander of Scotland Yard at the time , Reginald Spooner described him as " the worst traitor of the war " . By the end of the war , Cole was wanted by both French and British governments , and was pursued by MI9 . He was captured at Bad Saulgau in June 1945 and imprisoned at the SHAEF military prison in Paris , from which he escaped on 18 November 1945 . A large manhunt was initiated for his re - capture . On 8 January 1946 , after receiving a tip , French police shot Harold Cole dead after discovering that he had been hiding on the fourth floor of a bar in the " Rue de Grenelle " in Paris . He was later buried in an unmarked pauper ' s grave in Paris .

Four of the trawlers were given ' Bird ' names when converted to controlled minelayers in 1943 - 44 : " Blackbird " ( M15 ) , " Dabchick " ( M22 ) , " Stonechat " ( M25 ) and " Whitethroat " ( M03 ) . A total of 23 of these trawlers were lost during the war . Six trawlers were loaned to Canada in 1942 - 45 and five to Norway in 1943 - 45 .

Operation Fahrenheit Operation Fahrenheit was a British Commando raid during the Second World War . It was carried out by a small group of men from No . 12 Commando and No . 62 Commando over the night of 11 / 12 November 1942 . Captain O B ' Micky ' Rooney and six Non - commissioned officers from No . 6 Commando , with two men from No . 62 Commando formed the raiding party .

One raiding party left Dartmouth on the 11 November in Motor Torpedo Boat ( MTB ) 344 . After reaching their target they discovered that the cliff tops were heavily mined . Rooney and one of his men checked out the signals station and a nearby pillbox . The signals station was protected by barbed wire and sentries and the pillbox was unoccupied . Rooney decided to carry out a frontal assault on the signals station . Splitting the unit into three groups , they made their way to within yards of the barbed wire . While Rooney was preparing a hand grenade they were heard by the two sentries . Before they could react they were killed by the hand grenade and machine gun fire . The occupants of the signal station were then engaged , killing two who had come into the open . The others returned fire from inside the signals station and it was decided to withdraw before reinforcements arrived . The party successfully re - embarked and returned to Dartmouth .
