You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Buna''' is a village in [[Oro Province]], [[Papua New Guinea]]. It was the site in part, of the [[Battle of Buna–Gona]] during [[World War II]], when it constituted a variety of native huts and a handful of houses with an airstrip. Buna was the trailhead to the [[Kokoda Track]] leading to  [[Kokoda]].

==History==
Buna was the site of a handful of houses, a dozen or so native huts, and an airfield acting as a trailhead up the Kokoda Track to the foothills village of [[Kokoda]] (see [[Kokoda Track campaign]]).

[[File:Wounded Australian soldier led by a Papuan orderly at Buna.jpg|thumb|left|200px|An Australian soldier is aided by a Papuan orderly near Buna in December 1942.]]

During World War II, [[Imperial Japanese Army|Imperial Japanese troops]] invaded on 21–22 July 1942 and established it as a base (see [[Buna Airfield]]). Six months later,<ref

The [[Fifth Air Force]] established air bases there as the Allied counter-offensive against Japan picked up the pace and continued operations to isolate the major Japanese base at [[Rabaul]] and attack [[Battle of Lae|Lae]] and points west.

For weeks at a time General [[Douglas MacArthur]], commander in the South Pacific, used Buna as an informal forward base. MacArthur's biographer [[William Manchester]] relates a story how Allied commanding air officer Lt. General [[George Kenney]] loved repeating of how he'd gone back to Australia for a week, and MacArthur had stolen his house, claiming it was cooler at night than his own. A week later the Monsoon winds shifted, making MacArthurs' old house now the cooler&mdash; and he never asked for Kenney to switch back.<ref name="Caesar1"/>
