Fresh bread, first for the fighter,
then for the service troops, is the. plan,
fulfilled, of the Quartermaster Corps
bakery units of the Pacific Sixth Army,
from Australia to the Philippines.
Following the Sixth in it's fighting
ever closer to Japan, bakers baked
bread under canvas, in old abandoned
buildings, in cock fight arena, and
in the rain and mud of Pacific tropical
islands.
At Kiriwina Island, when the ON
bakery was confronted with dwind-
ling yeast supply sergeant made a
ferment from cocoanut milk, and it
worked. When the fighting shifted to
Arawe, New Britain, bakers pulled
brown loaves from the ovens the second
day after landing from an Let.
Unable to find water at Saider, New
Guinea, the bakery platoon dug well
and struck it pure and clear at a
depth of 20 feet. Since then most bak-
cries set up their own water system.
At the Admiralty Islands, bakers
became construction workers, putting
up prefabricated building, cementing
the floor, timing the roof, screening
the sides. With convenient dough
troughs on wheels, steam box and air
conditioning, baking proceeded in up
to-date form.
The Sixth Army's bread was drop
ped from the air to supply front-line
troops going into Aitape. Bakers pack
