Description
Kokoda, Papua, 1942-11. Carrying boxes of supplies attached by means of loya vines to poles resting on their shoulders, native Papuan carriers cross a makeshift wooden bridge over one of the many streams on the way to Wairopi on the northern section of the Kokoda Trail. Three Australian soldiers are mounting the bridge behind the carriers, while below it another two Australian soldiers are washing or carrying out some other chore on the bank of the jungle stream.
