Suva
TWO distinguished visitors were in Suva in early June. They were Dr.
Peter Buck and Mr. Frank E.
Midkiff „ n , Mr. is a trustee of the Bishop Museum in Honolulu and secretary of the Barstow Foundation for American Samoa.
Dr. Buck, who is director of the Bishop Museum, is one of the leading world authorities on Pacific subjects.
Mr. Onslow Kerkham arrived safely in England in June after being released from a prisoner of war camp in Germany. He enlisted with the 2nd NZEF in 1940, served in North Africa, Greece and Syria, and during the battle of El Alamein in 1942 was taken prisoner. He spent some time in a camp in northern Italy, but with the Italian surrender he was trans ferred to Stalag VIII B in Germany. A few mo nths ago this camp was moved to Bohemia, a fact which probably explains w hy it has taken some time after the collapse of Germany for him to get back to the United Kingdom.
