Link With Caledonia's Past
From Our Own Correspondent NOUMEA, April 6.
ONE of New Caledonia’s outstanding citizens, M. Emile Mouldous, is dead, at the age of 58~ He was a leader when the Colony rallied to the Fighting French Movement in 1940.
A member of the old General Council, he became, on the nomination of Gov ernor Sautot, a member of the Adminis trative Council when this new body took over from the old Council in December, 1940, and continued in this capacity until the time of his death.
He served with the first New Cale donian contingent in World War I at Salonica, Monastir and the Dardenelles, and returned to New Caledonia in 1918 in time to take part in a small local “war” which ended in the revolt led by Chief Noel of Koniambo, and in which 16 white settlers were massacred.
