T> OBBIE” —or to give him his proper IV name, R. A. ROBINSON—is known to everybody who ever lived in New Guinea. For many years he has been associated with Burns, Philp & Company and is the Big Firm’s Senior Plantation Inspector in New Guinea. After narrowly escaping capture when the Japanese invaded Rabaul he managed to get to Australia and there joined the RAAF.
His wide knowledge of New Guinea and the Solomons was quickly availed of and Robbie’s experience and ability proved invaluable at Guadalcanal.
“Robbie” is one of the most popular men in the Territory—and the esteem in which all men hold him is deserved for his outstanding characteristic is his un selfishness. The full extent to which R.A.R. has given a helping hand to his fellow-men will never be known, for “Robbie” will talk about anything else on earth but himself.
Mr. James Fulford, formerly of New Guinea, has been appointed Merchandise Manager for Morris Hedstrom Ltd., at
Lautoka, Fiji.
