Pacific Islands Roll of Honour Lists

Honour Lists in a Special Supplement in December

A SPECIAL supplement of the “Pacific Islands Monthly,” December issue, will contain the names of Pacific Islands residents who, during World War 11, were: Killed or died of wounds or illness.

Wounded, or were reported POW.

Decorated, or commended for dis tinguished service.

We shall include, also, the list of civilians who have disappeared, presumed dead, as a result of the Japanese occupa tion of the Rabaul and New Ireland areas. This will be the same list as was published here in October, but with cer tain corrections.

The “Honour Roll” —as the lists were called—was first published in the “PIM” in June, 1940. It then contained only two names —those of Flying Officers Moresby Gofton, of Wau, New Guinea, and K. J. A. Johnstone, of Suva, Fiji— both reported missing in air fighting m Europe. Now, the lists contain hundreds of names, and have been published regu larly for 5i years. They will be pub lished for the last time in December.
