Places - Territorial Administrations - Australian New Guinea Administrative Unit (ANGAU)

10 April 1942 - 23 June 1946

With the Australia army assuming control of both New Guinea and Papua in February 1942 in the light of Japanese advances, most of the surviving civil officers from both territories were posted to ANGAU. This military administrative unit was established in Port Moresby to maintain the civil administration's functions like preserving and controlling native labour and keeping law and order.
