Description

Aitape, New Guinea. Fresh fruit is indeed a rarity, in the forward area, and when a consignment arrives, these lads go straight to work, sorting out the good from the bad. Some of the fruit is spoiled in transit, and must be separated from the good article quickly. Sorting boxes are: Private (Pte) Les Grandison of Melbourne, Vic; Lance Corporal Tom Stanbury of Fremantle, WA; Pte (Nobby) Clark of Narrabri, NSW; Pte Frank Broadstock of Mildura, NSW.
