"Musicians help pass the time aboard the SS Cape Victory en route to Seattle - Oct 1945" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Jam Session on Board. It would a be a hot, sweaty, slow trip. The turbine-powered converted freighter would travel about fifteen miles an hour. To keep cool, men took off their shirts, stayed on deck, took it easy. During the journey, soldiers were allowed to send uncensored mail for the first time in two years. Though soldiers had been ordered to empty their cameras of all film, somewhere between Manila and Seattle, somewhere during the twenty-eight day voyage across the Pacific, Hill secretly snapped this rare photo of a soldiers' band -- piano, drums, sax, and trumpet -- playing for men relaxing on the aft deck of the SS Cape Victory. (The ship's mast cast the shadow in the center of the photo.)" ("Darkroom Soldier" caption authored by George Venn)

"Assembly of Native leaders all in feather head dresses kneeling - for a group portrait Papua New Guinea Chief participants in big 'Sing Sing' in the area of Dobodura - New Guinea in their tribal finery feather head dresses" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Sing-Sing Dancers. Tribesmen and one woman (far left) in festive attire kneel with their drums during a New Year sing-sing. To enjoy a feast, to celebrate a marriage, to honor good luck, or to recognize success, tribes throughout New Guinea gathered in this manner to sing, dance, and feast. Throughout the war, these tribesmen, referred to affectionately by the Australian forces as "Fuzzy Wuzzies," befriended the Allies. Mostly, they served as packers carrying food and ammunition to infantry fighting in the jungle, then as stretcher bearers bringing wounded soldiers back from the front."
