My husband's Dad, Melvin Qualls, was in New Guinea during WWII with a man
named Roy L Yarbrough from Macon, Georgia.
Melvin kept a photo diary of his
time there, the men he was with, etc.
We have put that diary on a webpage at
I thought some of his family might be interested in that time in his life.
