Portrait photograph captioned: "N1408. Aitape area, New Guinea. In most of the New Guinea jungle wood for fires is seldom found dry enough to burn. This difficulty is overcome by these range stoves issued to cooks in the jungle. Resembling a giant primus stove, they work from compressed air. Cpl Clem Stewart of Hobart is using a car pump to fill the air cylinder. Australian official photo. 27/3/45."
