New Guinea Missionaries

p. 8 · Read in the full issue

THE Rev. Father F. P. Lyons was shown, in a list of missionaries pub lished in the “PIM” in December,

as missing in New Britain. Actually, he is now a chaplain in the AIF. He was at Vunapope, near Rabaul, for 13 months; but he was sent south on sick leave just before the Japanese invasion.

As soon as he recovered, he enlisted.

Two missionaries, who went to Rabaul just before the Japanese invasion, should be added to the list of the missing: they are Father Harris, who was stationed on the south coast of New Britain, and Father McCullagh, who was on the Vunapope staff, and who is believed to be a prisoner of war.

Judge R. T. Gore, of Papua, is new Deputy Commonwealth Crown Solicitor in South Australia, and Mr. and Mrs.

Gore reside in Adelaide. Their son, Lieutenant Richard Gore, of the AIF, when last heard of, was on the New Guinea front.
