Red cross in Cargo Cult
A boy drinks coconut water near the Red Cross symbol in Ipeukel (Sulfur Bay) village. Red Cross is the most sacral symbol of the John Frum cargo cult. The sign was adopted from the red cross emblem of the American military medical corps, when medicaments were freely distributed to the natives during the World War II.
Very soon the Cargo Cult photo-story will be on my web-site.

Love the shot. I’m looking forward to more. The link to a website didn’t get me anywhere. Best wishes.

Hey Tom, thanks for your feedback. Yes, it’s not on my web-site yet, I have to find some time for it. I’ll let you know then. Cheers!
