Army Signallers Communicating with Headquarters
New Guinea, February 11, 1944 - Two Army signallers communicating with their Headquarters from an advanced post in the Finisterre Ranges. Extremely heavy fighting occurred in the Shaggy Ridge area where the Japanese were strongly entrenched in what appeared to be unassailable positions. The Signallers performed a wonderful job in maintaining communications between the units in difficult country.
