Jungle pipeline to carry fuel from India to China.

Jungle pipeline to carry fuel from India to China. Tall jungle grass, which can cut like a knife if handled incautiously, is another obstacle faced and defeated by the American construction crewmen.

Many of the men were oil workers in civilian life, and all received a six week's course on laying pipelines under simulated battle conditions in the United States, before being sent to the Far East.
