Description
ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION OF PORTABLE RECORDING EQUIPMENT USED DURING THE NEW GUINEA CAMPAIGN. THIS RECORDING GEAR WENT THROUGH THE FIRST AND SECOND LIBYAN CAMPAIGNS, AS WELL AS GREECE AND SYRIA BEFORE GOING TO NEW GUINEA. CAREFULLY MANNED BY PMG OPERATOR BILL MACFARLANE, THE GEAR HAD TRAVELLED OVER 30,000 MILES IN TWO YEARS. HERE MACFARLANE OPERATES THE RECORDER, WHILE ABC WAR CORRESPONDENT FRED SIMPSON, ASSISTED BY MAREA, RECORDS HIS DESPATCH.
