From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rambutyo Island is one of the Admiralty Islands in the Bismarck Archipelago, located at 2°17′S, 147°49′E. Politically, Rambutyo Island is part of Manus Province, Papua New Guinea.

During World War II, the island was occupied by a small contingent of Japanese soldiers. On 3 April 1944, Allied forces led by the U.S. 12th Cavalry Regiment landed on Rambutyo. By 23 April, the forces were withdrawn for mop-up by the native police force.
