(See Article, Page 58, this Issue ) DR. G. H. VERNON, widely known throughout Papua, died in Samarai Hospital on May 16, after a short illness. His body was interred at Rogea Island.
After his discharge from the AMF he had resided at his property at Port Glas gow, where he was joined recently by his sister, his niece and nephew-in-law.
Dr. Vernon will be missed by all old residents of this country. His many kind acts and unfailing courtesy endeared him to all. Many a soldier and native owes his life to “Doc.”
If ever a mortal earned a place in
Heaven, Dr. Vernon did so.-
