IT was announced from Algiers Radio on June 7 that General de Gaulle has authorised M. Montchamp, Governor of New Caledonia, to relinquish his post, and to join a Fighting French service unit.

M. Montchamp became Governor of New Caledonia in 1942, after M. Henri Sautot had quarrelled with Rear-Admiral D’Argenlieu (High Commissioner for Fighting France in the Pacific) and had been transferred by General de Gaulle to a Governorship in West Africa.

M. Montchamp.
