Kingsley

PAPUA residents will learn, with regret, of the sudden death, in Sydney, late in April, of Mr. Alfred Kingsley, a well-known planter, of Kokoda. Papua.

He came from Fiji to Papua soon after the last war, and settled down in the Territory, where he displayed enterprise and skill as a planter. He had estab lished a large rubber plantation in the Yodda Valley; but he was evacuated early in 1942, and, within a few months, battles were actually fought in the Yodda. His son, Lieutenant Kienzle, gave notable service to the AIF during the Kokoda-Buna fighting.
