374 DE TWEEDE WERELDOORLOG
The archievements of the Papuans, who were in the service of the Allies
Owing to the great shortage of labour, the Papuans were very useful to the
Allies during the war.
In Australian New Guinea the Papuans were conscripted. Most of them served
as carriers. In Milne Bay and Buna the Papuans unloaded ships and hewed the
ground open where barracks had to be built.
The need for labourers did not cease after the establishment of the bases on the
North coast.
This was the first time that the Papuans came into such close contact with the
Western technique.
He became acquainted with Flying Fortresses, jeeps and trucks which penetrated
the virgin forest; this made a great inpression on the simple and uneducated
Papuan.
