Private John Parkes of the 2/2nd Battalion is helped to a jeep-ambulance, probably of 2/7th Field Ambulance, after being hit by a Japanese bullet near But airfield on 17 March 1945. In this period, heavy rains made evacuation by road very difficult. AWM 018290 Source AWM 018290 Copyright Australian War Memorial See also Aitape-Wewak 1944-1945
