Who Is W. Harrison Moore?

WHEN a party of Australian service men took possession of an aban doned camp near Port Moresby in 1944, one of them found there a copy of the First Edition of Rudyard Kipling’s Five Nations. A pencilled note indicated that the book had been worth 21/-, and on the fly-leaf was the name “W. Har rison Moore.” It is supposed that the book had been looted from one of the Port Moresby houses in 1942. If the owner should see this paragraph, and will identify himself to Mr. W. R. Moore, Box 41. GPO, Sydney, he can have his book returned to him.

Governor Georges Marc Pelicier, who was recalled to France by order of the Vichy Government, a few days before Henri Sautot landed in New Caledonia to take over as Free French Governor, in September, 1940, has been deprived of his rank as officer of the Legion of Honour, and other decorations. He was Governor from October 1939 to August 1940, when New Caledonians criticised him severely for sitting on the fence waiting to see which way the cat would jump.
