A fire in the Anton Photo
graphic Studio in the Homer

Australian Imperial Force Correspondent
WITH THE A. I. F. ON THE
MALAYAN FRONT. Jan. % (Aus-
tralian Associated Press to CR).-
While the main body of the Aus
tralian Imperial Force has been
in action against the japanese
in fairly solid groups. some of
their comrades on patrol have
plunged through steaming,
swampy jungle many miles be-
hind the enemy lines to carry
out their assignments.
Today met a lieutenant who with
his platoon has spent only two
nights on this side of the enemy
lines since the A. I. F. went into
action eight days ago.
He had just come back after two
days in the jungle, seeking to find
q way out, with a recalcitrant COM
pass that acted up because Of the
proximity of an iron mine.
"Japs' Aim Lousy"
He said his party had been cut
off by the Japanese in an encounter,
with the Japanese sniping at them,
'rbut their aim was lousy"
LAS I led the men into the jungle
! realized that the enemy had got
past us in largish numbers and had
forced troops behind to withdraw"
he said. I'VE forced our way through
the jungle on the road good way
behind, but all we could see were
Japs pouring on. I decided the road
was impossible SO headed through
the jungle on compass"
This is his story Of the jungle ad-
venture:
I'VE got into sort of cactus
swamps and my compass started to
play up owing to the proximity of
. small iron mine. Darkness caught
us 50 we halted, but we got no
sleep all night as the mosquitoes
and swamp lice were terrible.

me, by some miracle was not hurt.
