This article is lacking the information on how General MacArthur and his armies (American and Australian) studiously avoided attacking Wewak - as a costly and sternly defended Japanese Army base. Instead, MacArthur and his men "surrounded" Wewak from a good distance, cut off its supply lines by land and by sea, and left the Japanese base at Wewak to "wither on the vine" (with sick and practically starving troops), while the Americans and the Australians attacked farther west. They relied on their superior seapower and airpower in the Southwest Pacific to isolate and bombard Wewak. In late 1944, the U.S. Army moved on (e.g. to Morotai and the Philippines), and it turned the Wewak area and most of New Guinea over to the Australians.
