Prose is a little repetitive here: "The 2/7th Battalion[Note 2] was raised on 25 October 1939 at Puckapunyal, Victoria, as part of the all volunteer Second Australian Imperial Force that was raised..." ("was raised" x 2 in same sentence)
Same here: "...against the hastily established Allied defensive positions, forcing the British and Commonwealth troops to hastily withdraw..." ("hastily" x 2)
"...heavy air attack as the Germans heavily..." ("heavy" and "heavily")
"...This was subsequently undertaken in Palestine under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Guinn,[24] before the 2/7th was sent to Syria to undertake..." ("undertaken")

That's correct to my knowledge as well. The ORBAT for an Australian infantry battalion in the Middle East 1941 in my copy of Kuring Redcoats to Cams (p. 494) depicts the structure as described currently in the article (i.e. with an Admin Pl as part of HQ Coy).

"Essentially a mopping up operation, the Aitape–Wewak campaign saw the Australians ..." was the campaign mopping up or just the 2/7th participation? Seem odd to call a mopping-up a campaign?

"During these operations the battalion was involved in capturing Maprik after the 17th Brigade was relieved from defensive duties around Tadji.[6][30]" - doesn't make sense if the 17th Brigade had been relieved. Suggest a transposition of the main phrases if this is accurate? Or is it "after this", the 17th Brigade was relieved?
