The enduring image of the New Guinea campaign is that of Private George 'Dick' Whittington being led to a field hospital on Christmas Day 1942 by "a Fuzzy Wuzzy Angel", Raphael Oembari (he was Orokaivan from Hanau Village) later awarded the OBE. The picture was taken by New Zealand born photojournalist, George Silk, while working as a war photographer for the Australian Department of Information.
