Appeal for Photographs of Chinatown, Rabaul

Chinatown, Rabaul

JJROM War Damage Commission : Owing to only a small number of the Chinese community in Rabaul having reached Australia, the War Damage Commission has received very little information about buildings in China town, Rabaul.

To assist in establishing records of these buildings pending contact with the owners, the Commission appeals to any one holding photographs of any section of Chinatown, to make them available for copying purposes. Every care will be taken of the originals and they will be promptly returned.

The photographs should be addressed to the War Damage Commission, MLC Building, 44 Martin Place, Sydney; and, if possible, the approximate date the photographs were taken should be indi cated.

The name and full address of the sender are required to ensure safe return.

The Bishop of New Guinea, the Right Rev. P. N. W. Strong, arrived in England on Easter Monday, and is at present with his people at Oxford. The Bishop hopes to return to Australia in time for the General Synod in October.
