Description
English: U.S. forces inflict heavy casualties on Japs in capture of Buna, New Guinea. A 37 mm. gun crew, part of a U.S. Army tank force in New Guinea, fires at an objective at Buna Mission. Empty shells, heaped hurriedly in the foreground, indicate intensity of fire. The action resulted in the complete rout of the foe with heavy losses as the American and Australian troops drove the Japanese from their last stronghold in Papua.
