I'd like to think that the ANZACs would've been there too. Maybe not though, MacArthur basically froze us out near the end of the war. He had Aussie troops conducting operations in side theatres that were basically a waste of time. He obviously didn't think our guys rated. Try telling that to the men that fought on the Kokoda Trail, basically holding back the Japanese alone and buying time for Australia until the US committed troops.
