Repatriated Territorian

This picture of Bombardier K. W. Nettle ship, well known in New Guinea before the war as an officer in the Customs Department, was taken in Greece in April, 1941, while he was a member of an AIF anti-tank regiment. Shortly after wards, he received severe leg-wounds and, when the Nazis over-ran Greece and the British forces were evacuated, he fell into enemy hands. He became a prisoner of war in Germany, and disappeared from the view of New Guinea friends, until December, 1943, when he returned to Sydney with a few fortunate repatriated AIF prisoners of war. Looking remark ably fit and well, in spite of his experi ences, he is at present staying with his parents in Roseville, Sydney, pending a decision by the military authorities as to what is to be done with him.
