Battle In New Guinea
The Japanese in New Guinea are still 53 miles from their vital objective, Port Moresby, and bitter fighting is now raging in the region of Ef ogi.
By day and night, in rain and mist, the Australians stalk numerous small groups of Japanese invaders as they s creep through a silent underworld of rhododendrons and bamboo. All the while, Allied bombers are attacking- the Japanese with bombs and gunfire.
The Australians are fighting under exhausting conditions. It is impossible to prepare hot food as there is nothing with which to make a fire. The Australians also have to make their way through snow which gives at every step. They are nevertheless fighting in extremes of temperature.
