11th Field Company Royal Australian Engineers

During WWII, the 11th Field Company RAE initially remained in Australia as part of an effort to improve home defences. The unit was attached to the 29th Brigade which was part of the 5th Division. One of its earliest roles was to defend Townsville. In 1943, the 11th was deployed to Milne Bay in New Guinea.  Later, the 11th took part in the final stages of the Salamaua-Lae and Bougainville campaigns.  The brigade and its component units were disbanded in December 1945.
