==History==
At the time of its formation on 1 October 1942 from the remnants of Milne Force, the division was commanded by Major General Cyril Clowes. It remained around Milne Bay until January 1943 when it was transferred to Port Moresby. A further move occurred in July 1943, when the division was flown to Dobodura. In September 1943, the division's command changed hands with Major-General Allan Boase taking over. In April 1944, it took over, the division's headquarters moved to Dumpu, and it subsequently relieved the 7th Division which had been fighting a campaign through the Markham and Ramu Valleys and into the Finisterre Ranges. The division continued the advance towards Madang, linking up with the 5th Division around Bogadjim, before being moved back to Wau in early May 1944, leaving its divisional carrier company at Dumpu and transferring several units to the 5th Division.
The 11th was one of six Australian divisions that were converted to the Jungle division establishment in the middle of the war. The division later fought a brief campaign on New Britain in the last year of the war, landing at Wide Bay, and taking over from the 5th Division in the final months of the war.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rabual War Cemetery )〕
