WITH THE AKF SOMEWHERE
tN NEW GUINEA, October 12?
- (ANI')?The joyous news of the
4p< tall of both I^ae and Salamaue,'
gigantic strongholds of the Japs
to the north, has swept this base
with new enthusiasm and iniative.
The last of the campaign
was the inevitable fall of Lac,
which came after a result*of ?-.I4
day seige. Allied troops to the
north fought diligently for that
victory.
Our troops behind the lines
supported them with a viiror that
calls for praise that becomes only
these of the gallant. During' the
fury of the seige orir men kept a
continuous rtftw of supplies mov
ing forward,?working?diligently night
and day on 12 hour shifts.
^ They hauled thousands of tons
' datfy of rations, fuel ami ammunition^
Loaded transports and
never let up or shierked duty.
During one tense moment when
an extra surge ,of supplies was
necessary for troops at the front,
whose ordinarily daily routine is
behind an administrative desk,
lolled out of their bunks in .the
middle of the night, joined the melee
with the regular tTbe men,
y hauling and loading cargo. Even
officers joined' them at labor.
Sonic of our men went even
, further, they volunteered to go on
?*? tfoc air trail'.*ports, oo-their-luvsa?
afdous mission, to help unload the
supplies to the combat troops.
Tnfey also vigorously worfeecT in
helping re-fuel the air ships as
theyTVent to and fro on their misslons.
These men of ours were mostly
quartermaster trucking companies
involving hundreds of our men.
ftmnng Iheni were four companies
which did an excepiional good job
during the entire caippaign against
Lae and Salamaua. Three colored
lieutenants led one of the com
panics- 1st l.ts-~W:iltoTi JTirksnn,

remained on the job two and three
shifts, refusing to take time off
to eat or sleep.
