WWII-Work Assignments/New Guinea.
Ink drawing of soldiers washing pots and pans in the kitchen tent.
Verso: "Nov. 11, 1944. Pot cleaning detail with part of dining hall in left background. Characters are, reading from left to right, Derrott, Ludwig & Lovell. Officers tents and pavilion (of sorts) are in the deep background. The barrels on the stand are water heaters and have heaters inside them which have exhaust pipes and kerosene cans attached."
Maurice explained part of the KP [Kitchen Patrol] duty was to wash and dry the stove made from a drum used to heat the water for washing the pots and pans. The metal drum were from gasoline storage so washing out the gasoline so it could be used for other purposes was not a favored job.
