Samoans Anxious To Enlist
p. 31 · Read in the full issue
QUITE a number of Samoans have applied to the Administration of Western Samoa for permission to serve with the New Zealand forces in the present war.
“Of course, we could not accept their services, as this is a Mandated Territory under the League of Nations,” said the Acting-Administrator (Hon. A. C. Turn bull) during his visit to Sydney. “But we have appreciated the spirit of loyalty shown by these men.”
Mr. Turnbull added that the Samoans had responded most liberally to the Spit fire Fund in Apia, and to all other pat riotic appeals.
