The 106 Tank Attack Regiment was formed on 9 December 1941. During the Second World War they served in northern Australia and New Guinea, including at Buna, Lae and Medang.(Submitted on September 4, 2026, by Dean Barton-Ancliffe of Rowville, Victoria.)
They acted primarily as coastal defence to prevent enemy landings. On New Guinea they served under tough conditions – dengue fever and food poisoning were rife, and they were under constant threat of air raids.
The regiment was disbanded in late 1944 and its men were distributed to other units for the rest of the war.
