World War II camp newspaper from New Guinea...



Item # 695796

THE MORTEM POST, Fourth General Hospital, New Guinea, January 5, 1945

This is one of many "camp" newspapers that were crudely printed within various camps during WWII, obviously this from New Guinea.
As is the case with most such newspapers, it was created on a mimeograph machine printed on separate sheets of paper stamped at an upper corner. Headlines were done by hand and the front page has a hand-drawn may of the South Pacific.
Four pages with the back page blank, 8 by 10 1/4 inches, nice condition.
