Back from New Guinea Veterans Describe Campaign and Losses

Corporal L Ward, brother of Mrs W Newton of Gloucester, recalls brutal jungle fighting with the Japs in New Guinea. He says the enemy skulked like animals and used childish tricks, but his unit advanced openly and endured a harsh, deadly battle before other units flanked and overwhelmed the Japanese forces. Ward notes December 10 as the toughest day of his life, marking the third anniversary of his wedding.
