Report by Sgt. Dave Richardson describes New Guinea fighting as lack of fixed fronts. Soldiers push ahead through mud and heat, seeking Japanese threats in all directions. Jungle conditions produce shallow trenches and fox holes, while patrols go out daily.
Wartime reportage describes jungle combat around Buna where U S and Australian forces assault Japanese pillboxes and machine gun nests with mortars and light tanks limited by thick undergrowth. Americans, many from Wisconsin, rely on swift stealth and rifle thrusts drawing on Indigenous fighting methods amid brutal, muddy terrain.
