Fijian Soldiers At Sydney's Royal Empire Show

Guarded by two native soldiers, the Fiji display at the recent Royal Empire Show in Sydney attracted much attention—it was by far the most interesting and impressive of the Pacific Territories exhibits. Visitors were greatly taken with the appearance and bearing of the strapping, bushy-haired Fijians who wore scarlet military jackets and white sulus. In
