		As an example, following both battles the 39th Battalion mustered barely 30 survivors (from a nominal strength of 600-800), the remainder either dead, missing, wounded, or in hospitals in Port Moresby and northern Australia suffering from disease and exhaustion.

		The militia thus appealed to agricultural labourers, colliers and the like, men in casual occupations, who could leave their civilian job and pick it up again.

		B Company of the 39th battalion was very soon in action, inflicting delay on the Japanese at Kokoda before withdrawing, then recapturing it before being forced to withdraw again a few kilometres south to Deniki.
		During the fighting, the greatly depleted and tired 39th Battalion was forced to remain in the line, instead of being relieved, as the Japanese threatened several times to break through the 2/14ths perimeter.
		The previously untried and untested 39th Militia Battalion had been transformed in a matter of a few weeks into a remarkable unit – evidenced by an invalid contingent sent out of battle defiantly returning back up the track to fight again when they heard their mates were in serious trouble.

	39th Battalion
		Together with most of the militiamen from the 3rd and 49th Battalions, the majority of the 39th's militia personnel were transferred to the 36th (Militia) Battalion which welcomed their arrival and, thus reinforced, retained its identity until the end of the war.
		But not all the 39th Battalion transfers to the 36th were effected in the orthodox army manner.
		There I learnt that a lot of the 39th blokes (the non-AIF enlistments) were being transferred to the 36th Battalion at a place called Nome - just a camp in the scrub beside a rail loop that ran out to Crocodile Creek Abattoirs about 15 or 20 miles south of Townsville.

		The first troops sent to New Guinea were the 39th Battalion, supported by another Militia battalion the number of which escapes me at the moment.
		When Militia units were used in the strictly defined area of the SWP that was deemed by the Govt to be "in defence of Australia" they were, likewise, fielded as MILITIA units.
		The 39th Battalion was evidently not very well trained with some of their weapons (they´d never seen Brens or Lewis guns when they were issued with them, for example).

	39th Battalion CMF in WW2
		This article is based on, and largely reproduced from "To Kokoda and Beyond" by Victor Austin, (of 39 Bn and later 2/2 Bn AIF); Volume V of "Australia in the War of 1939-45" by Dudley McCarthy; "Pacific Victory" by Hugh Buggy; and "Recollections of a Regimental Medical Officer" by H D Steward.
		The 39th Battalion existed as a unit for only 2O months of World War II, but its story is one of the most unusual and proudest in the annals of Australian military history.
		Formed in haste from disparate Victorian militia elements in Oct-Nov 1941, initially officered (except for platoon commanders) by World War 1 veterans, its ranks largely composed of 18- and 19-year old boys armed with 1914-18 Lewis guns, and designated for a passive garrison role in Australian administered Papua, the 39th was, literally, a "scratch" unit.

		The two AIF relieving battalions were being delayed on the track by an acute shortage of equipment and supplies produced by inept planning by senior commanders in Australia and Port Moresby.
		The Australians were still outnumbered at Isurava by at least six to one, and although clearly unfit for combat, the gallant soldiers of the 39th Battalion declined to be relieved and stayed to support their AIF comrades.
		Battalion had been unable to resist the awesome power of the Japanese attacks until relieved late in the day by AIF troops, Major General Horii's drive to Port Moresby would have achieved an instant momentum that would probably have been unstoppable.
