British Commonwealth
Commonwealth Corps*, (Lt. Gen. Charles Keightley):
UK 3rd Inf. Div., Canadian 6th Inf. Div., Australian 10th Div.

*The corps was to have included, as its initial components, the British 3rd Infantry Division, and two new divisions being formed for the purpose of the invasion: the Australian 10th Division and the Canadian 6th Division. It was to have been led by the British Lt. Gen. Sir Charles Keightley. However, it was highly unlikely that the Australian government would have concurred in the appointment of a commander who had no experience fighting the Japanese.
