Balikpapan, South Borneo. Informal portrait of three Japanese naval personnel found by members of the 2/5th Australian Field Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery (RAA), in a damaged tunnel near Orr's Junction, Balikpapan. The photographs were taken in the vicinity of Orr's Junction and the personnel are probably of 22 Base Force (Navy) under the command of Vice Admiral M.
