71. Australian gunner lets loose after one of him team (to his left) was shot dead by a Japanese sniper. Other Australian soldiers are taking cover where they can.

72. Australians about to land at Lae.
73. US soldiers going over a large booty of Japanese weapons, mostly the prized Japanese sword. One GI has found a German Luger in the lot. Much of this loot was brought to Tokyo and distributed to US vets of various battles in the Pacific.

Great Work DeathHand! As always.
Cool thread indeed
Wow..amazing! Thank you for compiling these and posting them here for us. 
The Japanese did loose more men than the US Marines in most of the Pacific battles. But during WW2, the US War Dept censored all war photos that were sent in: a dead Jap, good, a dead Marine, not good. The victors always have more photos of their foe that were killed.

What was it that you didn't agree with and why just that one post? Rather than pop me a 'Disagree' point it'd be great to hear what in the post that you disagree with and why. Btw, those weren't my words, that's why the text is enclosed with quotation marks. I'll have to dig up the source.
