Killed In Italy
From Our Own Correspondent
Noumea, Feb. 9.
CHARLES WITT, a New Caledonian of Australian origin, has been killed on the Italian front. His mother is in Sydney.
During the war he served here in the French censor’s office and then became secretary of M. Antier, of the civilian sec tion of the d’Argenlieu mission, with whom he eventually left for London.
There he asked to see service with his Caledonian compatriots of the Pacific Battalion, wtih whom he was serving as aspirant, or cadet officer, at the time of his death.
He was a most likeable and hard work ing young man whom it was always a pleasure to meet when one entered the censor’s office in Governor Sautot’s day, and sympathy goes out to his family in their loss.
