The New Guinea Volunteer Rifles (NGVR) was an infantry battalion of the Australian Army. It was initially raised as a unit of the Militia from white Australian and European expatriates in New Guinea upon the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, before being activated for full-time service following the Japanese landings in early 1942. NGVR personnel then helped rescue survivors of Lark Force from Rabaul in February and March 1942. Between March and May, the NGVR monitored the Japanese bases which had been established in the Huon Gulf region, being the only Allied force in the area until the arrival of Kanga Force at Wau in May. The battalion subsequently established observation posts overlooking the main approaches and reported on Japanese movements.

  • Les Volontaires armés de Nouvelle-Guinée (New Guinea Volunteer Rifles (NGVR)) étaient une unité de milice australienne formée pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. La NGVR a été créée en septembre 1939 par des colons blancs de Nouvelle-Guinée et elle a été dissoute à la fin de 1943 lorsque ses membres survivants ont été rattachés à l'Australia New Guinea Administrative Unit (ANGAU). La NGVR a été reformée sous le nom de Volontaires armés de Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée (Papua New Guinea Volunteer Rifles (PNGVR)) le 17 mars 1951 et a été dissoute en 1973, peu avant l'indépendance de la Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée.
