Into the jungles of Arawe plunge men of the assault waves who have just landed from the tracked Alligators. They move cautiously and fearfully forward across the narrow beach, probing the tangled foliage for snipers and machine guns hidden behind coconut-log bunkers.
The war against VD during World War II.
EDIT: ((Wow, is this getting a lot of responses. Just to add my two cents, this doesn’t seem particularly sexist to me. Yes, it focuses on women as carriers of disease, but men were at their most valuable during the war, and they needed to be at top physical health… women’s health, from a national security standpoint. And this doesn’t seem to be saying anything really wrong about all women just that, “Prostitutes often have VD. If you have sex with prostitutes and other women you don’t know, you may just get VD. Please don’t get VD guys. Really.” Of course, I could be saying something really unelightened, in which cause… whoops.

“The Broad-bottom Leviathan trying to swamp Billy’s old-Boat, & the little Corsican tottering on the Clouds of Ambition” – three sailors rowing a small ship’s boat or dinghy, (the Billy Pitt) are going through rough water caused by Leviathan, a porpoise-like monster with three heads and a forked tail. The heads spout water at the boat, particularly at Canning. They are (r. to left.) Grenville, who spouts “Opposition Clamour”; Howick (whom Canning had replaced as Foreign Secretary), spouting “Detraction”; and St. Vincent, spouting “Envy”.
