Default Australian "Blackforce" in the Netherlands East Indies

Australian "Blackforce" in NEI have been discussed on different fora in MLU.

What I have gathered is that "Blackforce" arrived to Tandjoeng Priok (W Java) 19th Feb 1942. LtCol Blackburn (VC) was promoted Brigadier.

As I understand his troops 2/3 MG Bn, 2/2 Pioneers Bn and 1st Army Corps Guards Bn plus 2/6 Field Coy Engineers and 105 General Transport Coy had taken part in the 1941 Syria campaign. Who know more about that?

What vehicles were these units equipped with and were those also shipped to Java?

There were also 2/3 Reserve Motor Transport Coy and a Detachment designed for Singapore but diverted to Java.

Who know more of these "Singapore units"?

Stellan
