The LIFE pics are another great source , some of these are in colour including the S.W.P.A.

Morotai , I believe only a small area of the island was actually cleared of the enemy and the Japs were left occupying most of the island.

Some of the AWM documents relating to vehicle procurements are interesting. MacArthur at one point informed the Aust. minister responsible , " if you want anything come directly to me "
