Indian troops freed from Japanese by U.S. troops on Los Negros. Sikhs, Indian soldiers, eat hungrily of U.S. Army field rations after they were freed from Japanese captivity by American forces who occupied Los Negros, island in the Admiralty group of the Southwest Pacific. The liberated Indians tell American soldiers how they were transported to the island outpost and forced to build enemy airfields and dig trenches. In recent landings on New Guinea, U.S. troops freed 462 more Sikhs from Japanese labor battalions.
