Description
New Britain. April 1945. Some of the Australian Army Medical Women's Service (AAMWS) who arrived in New Britain joined in the fun at the New Britain Yacht Club's regatta. Their enthusiasm compensated for their lack of skill in the aquatic events, manning the oars with some diggers in an outrigger canoe (Lakatoi) named Rusty Shark and painted with a skull and crossbones.
