The lack of shirts always makes me cringe. Considering that Malaria , black water fever , scrub typhus and other tropical nasties were out of control . More casualties were caused by diseases than enemy action.

Why were they smashing up those batteries ? Maybe they needed the lead for something . After the war ended, all of those buildings were left for the jungle to climb over .
