1942. WALKING WOUNDED AND MEMBERS OF THE 2/11TH FIELD AMBULANCE, AIF, AT THE ADVANCED DRESSING STATION, EL ALAMEIN.
Sappers of the 2/14th Field Company observe the effects of their handiwork on a Japanese bunker near the summit of the feature known as 'The Blot' on 14 July 1945. The explosion was caused by a blast bomb comprising a hand grenade attached to a tin full of about half a kilo of ammonal. Numerous blast bombs were used in the campaign, especially in the capture of Wewak itself. AWM 094029
Flying Officer Francis Smith of 100 Squadron looks out of the rear hatch of a Beaufort bomber, A9-557. He was a member of the crew that flew this aircraft on thirty-three missions, including its last. On that flight, a bombing mission, it crashed at Tadji and was damaged beyond repair. Smith and his crew were all killed on 13 March 1945 during a bombing mission in another Beaufort. A defective fuse caused the premature explosion of one of the bombs, which destroyed their aircraft. This was almost certainly in support of the commandos' defence of Milak. AWM P02841.001
Pilots and aircrews of 8 and 100 Squadrons RAAF at Tadji airfield east of Aitape in October 1944. They had just returned from operations over enemy territory. Their aircraft, Australian-built Beaufort bombers, are visible in the background. The squadrons had been based at Tadji since June of that year, and would soon be almost entirely occupied supporting the 6th Division's operations between Aitape and Wewak. AWM OG1605
