Maurice Alfred P. Maurice | New Guinea | Services/New Guinea | South Pacific | WWII WWII-Services/New Guinea. Drawing of several men crouched near lister bags (canvas water bag). Verso: "Nov. 11, 1944. A lister bag outside the company supply room around which the boys gathered awaiting the arrival of the Supply Sergeant to lead us over to the battalion supply room, thence to the camp supply room (that damned chain of command again), where I picked up some clothing I had coming." Maurice explained the lister bag was supposed to purify the water. You would hang a bag with spigots at the bottom, filled with water. Chlorine was put in the water to kill any germs. The problem was that the water was all sandy; all the sand settled down to the bottom and when you turned the spigot, all you got was wet sand.

Ink drawing of men receiving dental treatment, while others sit, waiting on a bench reading a book or newspaper. Verso: "29 January 1945. Drawn while I was waiting to have my teeth filled in a surprisingly well equipped dental clinic. A company of colored boys had their teeth examined and those not found to pass the scrutiny were seated in the waiting 'room' looking very dejected indeed. Even as I must have looked."

Maurice Alfred P. Maurice | New Guinea | Services/New Guinea | South Pacific | WWII WWII-Services/New Guinea. Ink drawing of a truck filled with a large load of mail bags and soldiers on top, labeled "A.P.O. 711." Verso: "Nov. 14, 1944. Scene just outside APO #711 while some mail was being brought in and while I was waiting for this truck to leave so ours could pull in and I could load our mail on. For all my labors I got one v-mail letter but also got the satisfaction of not doing any training (asinine stuff that it is)." Maurice explained that APO stands for Army Post Office and each had a regional number. V-mail was single sheet with a place to write the address on one side and the letter on the other; it would fold up so that it created it's own envelope for mailing.

Maurice Alfred P. Maurice | New Guinea | Services/New Guinea | South Pacific | WWII WWII-Services/New Guinea. Ink drawing of an open front building with a flag on top, labeled, "Dispensary." Non-descriptive people inside, two outside and the hood of a jeep in the left foreground. Verso: "Thursday - 21 Dec 44. This is the dispensary to which I went to have that charley horse taken care of. It is the dispensary at the negro outfit near us and and since its the nearest one to the clerk's school we go there. The doctor is white and all the enlisted men are colored. The bulletin beside the entrance is a pin up board covered with negress pinup girls. The round bunches on the tree in the left part of the picture are betel nuts (so I am told) and are chewed by the natives. They are said to be mildly intoxicant and discolor the teeth of the chewer, staining them red & giving them a perpetual 'pink tooth brush' appearance." Maurice explained when you went to dispensary you went there because you weren't feeling well enough to work. The guys in charge of the unit would think that you were all goofing off if you took time to go to the dispensary. So if you didn't get sent to the hospital, they would put you to work cleaning M1 Garand rifles left over from WWI with gasoline so would be sure to be sick.

Maurice Alfred P. Maurice | New Guinea | Soldiering/New Guinea | South Pacific | WWII WWII-Services/New Guinea. Ink drawing of an open area with screen tables, labeled, "Mess Hall from 'Dining Room'." Stacked supplies and a large truck are in the background. Verso: "Nov. 15, 1944. My second session of K.P. This sketch was the first time (last Saturday) and finished this morning. The table tops are made of wire stripping. In the background is the Mess Hall. The wagon is a steam wagon for steam cooking and the drum on a stand is its fuel supply. The tent at the extreme right is hallowed ground not to be trodden on by the K.P.s, the officer's mess tent." Maurice explained that the table they ate at was just a kind of woven metal.
