Description
Soputa, Papua, 1942-12. At the camp known as Soputa 2, jeeps that are used as medical evacuation vehicles wait to pick up sick and wounded soldiers from the Main Dressing Station (MDS) of the 2/4th Field Ambulance and transport them to the airstrip at Popondetta for air evacuation to Port Moresby. The jeep (left) has chains on its rear wheels to help it negotiate muddy roads in the area. (Donor A. Hobson)
