I have two of three left that were Gov issue to PNG Patrol Officers after WW11. Legacy of my old man being a PO. One of mine has my bush camp essentials and other sundry items permanently stored in it. Quite a bit bigger than the above. They were carried on bamboo poles tied on with kunai grass and carried by the native Papuans.
JG,
You never have mentioned the connection of your family to PNG before !!!
Would love to hear of any stories from those days, and do you have any photos? Amazing, and your Father was in PNG when it was still raw and wild!
If it can't still be called "raw and wild" today but for different reasons.
