Default tanks

Interesting seeing the scenes of the abandonded Jap tanks at Milne Bay and the colourful camo scheme on them , one of these tanks was in the Narre Warren museum I think. The colour dyes in the film stock appear to have lost some brilliance.

The narration is a tad annoying i.e. he makes little reference or any educated comments regarding the defence of Milne Bay , the Jap landings there and who the defenders were . Who were the defenders anyway ? RAAF P40's maybe. His main remark about Australia "the aussie beer was great ". He says Port Moresby was the only " village " of any size.
