PACK TRAIN IN CHINA

 Medical Department pack train bridges the mountain wilderness which lies between American forces on the Salween River front and supply depot at a nearby air base. Narrow ledges along the cliffs of the river canyon make hazardous, stubborn trails which exact a heavy penalty for a single misstep. Even the sure-footed, little Chinese horses must be coaxed and cajoled to carry on. Encumbered by heavy loads of plasma, sulfa drugs, penicillin and other medical supplies, the animals must be guided carefully by the corpsmen.
