Having a break at the Salvo's Canteen, Wester kneels at right. The
sign reads:
PLEASE DON'T SIT ON
TABLES
PLEASE DON'T THROW SCRAPS
OR COFFEE ON GROUND
PLEASE RINSE PANNIKINS
AFTER USE
The Salvation Army sign
reads " IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE AUSTRALIAN COMFORTS FUND" .
The Australian Red
Cross provided no front line comforts as they believed it conflicted
with their neutral status. The Japanese didn't care for such
niceties. Consequently, I never heard an unkind word against the "Sallies" or the
"Salvos." |
