A view from Barum village towards Bogadjim overlooking the mouth of the river, with plantations to the left and a tall palm tree depicted in the foreground. The artist noted that Mortar and M.G fire were heard from this point at the time of sketching.
VX109068 Sergeant Belcher, Royal Australian Army Medical Corps attached to Royal Australian Engineers, was able to obtain leave from his unit and moved between the Ramu Valley and the coast along to Yaula and Mindjim Rivers towards Bogadjim, sketching and recording something of the area's activities during the Second World War.
