Description
MOROTAI, HALMAHERA ISLANDS, NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES. C. 1945-01-25. NOT THE MELBOURNE CRICKET GROUND IN WINTER TIME BUT THE MOROTAI SPORTS OVAL IN THE HALMAHERAS DURING AN AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL MATCH BETWEEN THE RAAF AND THE RAN. A TROPICAL DOWNPOUR JUST BEFORE THE GAME FLOODED THE GROUND, BUT DID NOT DAMPEN THE SPIRITS OF THE PLAYERS OR SUPPORTERS.
