Australian Army repairs Oil Fields in Tarakan, Borneo - July 1945

            Written on reverse:
NEW YORK BUREAU
Captured Borneo Oil Field repaired for Allied use.
Tarakan, Borneo - Japs evacuating in the face of rapidly advancing Aussie forces, left this Tarakan oil field in a shambles, destroying everything they could before they fled. Now the Allies have begun the task of repairing the field and putting the rich oil source to work for their forces. Tarakan on Borneo was one of Japan's principal sources of oil supplies, and are the first oil wells to be recaptured from the Japs.
