Album Info:

Before World War II (1939-1945) Rabaul was the largest European town in the New Guinea region, and the surrounding area has numerous European plantations. Rabaul was the capital of what was then the Australian-administered mandate of New Guinea, but in 1941 the capital was shifted to Lae, on the New Guinea mainland, because of the threat of volcanic destruction. Rabaul was almost destroyed by the eruption of two of the adjacent volcanoes, Matupi and Vulcan, in May 1937.
