Papua
ONE or two people have made a very nice collection of “belly tanks ” writes a Papua correspondent.
The Japs sling an aluminium tank under their Zero fighters, which holds about 100 to 120 gallons of benzine. This enables them to cross the Central Range But, before they enter a scrap, they re lease a very strong spring, which gets rid of the tank. These dron around here and are collected bv the natives. These have to be sent then to headquarters in tact, as the value of the metal is con siderable.
The Australian soldier is the greatest curio and souvenir collector I have ever met.
