Sample A1

American Report on Fijians

MANY months ago, when it was sug gested that Fijian troops might be used advantageously in South Paci fic battle zones, the Americans asked that a “sample force” be sent to Guadalcanal, so that they might see the Fijian reaction to our superior modem warfare.

Apparently, nothing that we, or the enemy, has invented in the lethal line bothers the Fijian. The Americans report the “sample” to be 100 per cent, satisfac tory.

In September the “sample force” was expected back in Fiji on leave —there are plenty of other Fijians in the Solomons now to carry on their good work.
