Australia

F. O. Moody of Roboul

ANOTHER, old Territorial!, Mr.

Frederick O. Moody, has died while an evacuee in Australia.

Mr. Moody was in his sixties, and he went to the Mandated Territory first in 1922, later becoming a senior member of the Agricultural Department in Rabaul, where he was well known and

popular.

He had a serious illness at the end of 1941, and was still recuperating when the Japs invaded the Rabaul area. In spite of this handicap, however, he and his young son, Graham, escaped and made their way through the bush, after much hardship, to the south coast of New Britain, and finally to safety.

From the time of his escape until his death on January 29, he lived in Bris bane. He is survived by a wife and a son.
