Summary

[edit]
Description

A native Papuan soldier holding a Mk. VII Bren receives militia training by Australian forces in Oro Province, Papua New Guinea, 15 July 1943. 45,000 indigenous people of New Guinea and Papua were conscripted into the Australian army to work as stretcher bearers. Called 'Fuzzy Wuzzies' because of their characteristic frizzy hair, they became a welcome sight for the embattled Australian soldiers on the Trail.

IMPORTANT: I am deeply keen on the Australian campaign over Papua and New Guinea, especially New Britain. If you have any militaria, item, or photographs of this period, please contact me or let me know in the comments.
