A wartime documentary about the Battle of New Britain. This was a combined Army and Marine Corps operation to cover MacArthur's flank in New Guinea. Interesting original footage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4Yz70NPDKM

Wow nice film. The other available YouTube views also worthwhile. A lot of these vintage films which were typically shown in movie theaters during the war as newsreel footage prior to the feature film did (and now do) a great job of showcasing the hardship and sacrifice military service entails. In the case of the New Britain footage what you see is how much hard work and misery War typically requires.
