Description

Soputa, Papua. December 1942. A Salvation Army post set up in the forward area where troops may rest, read, write letters and enjoy a cold drink supplied by the Salvation Army. These rest centres are a great boon to troops, weary after a long jungle trek. A native is serving drinks out to Australian and American soldiers.
