Group surrender by a Japanese Army battalion in World War II
Takenaga's unit after surrendering (back row), with Australian Army soldiers (front row), taken before the Japanese soldiers were flown to Aitape. The third Australian soldier from the left is Lieutenant C. H. Miles.
The Takenaga incident (Japanese: 竹永事件, Hepburn: Takenaga jiken) was a surrender by an Imperial Japanese Army battalion that occurred on 3 May 1945, near the end of the Pacific War. The battalion, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Masaharu Takenaga,[note 1] surrendered to the Australian Army in eastern New Guinea. This was extremely unusual for the Japanese Army, where surrender was seen as highly dishonourable.
