Description	Steven R. Bullock, "Playing for Their Nation: Baseball and the American Military During World War II" p. 73, citing an article in the Sporting News in 1944, says U.S. soldiers played night baseball on an old Japanese artillery field, using flood lights for lighting. Fold3 has a photo of US servicemen playing baseball at Nadzab, New Guinea in 1944. Nadzab Field was/is near Lae, New Guinea.
