Description

Dutch New Guinea. Natives who came a considerable distance through the jungles of Japanese occupied territory to the safety of the Americans at Hollandia. A tribe of 200 natives was brought through by the Dutch New Guinea police boys. While on the trek through the jungle this was the little girl's favourite seat, on her father's shoulders.
