"Local residents carrying drinking water from Army Purification unit in large bamboo tubes" From "Darkroom Soldier": "Purified Water. At Parai, Hill also documented two alert young men patiently catching drinking water from a leaky Corps of Engineers hose. Once their bamboo cylinders filled, they packed that purified American water home -- one gallon in each hand." ("Darkroom Soldier" caption authored by George Venn)
