Description
Port Moresby, New Guinea. Two missionaries, Father K. Laumann (Germany), Father A. Cruysberg (Holland) and Brother A. Wiedmann (Germany) after their arrival in Port Moresby. Together with five nuns they escaped from the Japanese at Wewak four months earlier, travelled on foot through jungle and over a 10,000 feet range, until spotted by an allied aircraft which dropped food and water.
