Description
ERECTING A COLLAPSIBLE SCREEN FOR TALKIES SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA. NOTHING IS APPRECIATED MORE BY TROOPS, ESPECIALLY IN BATTLE AREAS, THAN TALKIES, AND EVEN HEAVY RAIN WILL NOT DRIVE THEM AWAY FROM THE SHOW. THIS JEEP WAS FITTED WITH TALKIE EQUIPMENT BY THE AUSTRALIAN COMFORTS FUND. THE JEEP CAN TRAVEL WHERE LARGER UNITS CANNOT, AND CAN BE FLOWN BY TRANSPORT PLANES TO AREAS WHERE THERE ARE NO ROADS. (NEGATIVE BY BROWN & BAGNALL).
