Found Near Rabaul
Yet another reminder of the Japanese occupation of the New Guinea Islands has been unearthed on New Britain—the headquarters of the Japanese operations against the Allies in 1942-43.
Members of the Rabaul Lions Club discovered an extensive underground operational base recently at Malma luan, five miles outside Rabaul.
The base, a few feet under the earth, had lain undisturbed since 1945. It included several tunnels and rooms—one of which appeared to have been a radar room.
Rabaul Lions hope to clean the base up and promote it as a tourist attrac tion.
