John Gilmore, D.C.M.

THE tall, red-headed, muscular young man here shewn is John, son of the well-known New Guinea couple, Jack and Flo Gilmore of Put Put Plantation, Kokopo. Back to TNG to get the family estate in working order, he has a stren uous job ahead of him.

John Gilmore fought against Italians, Germans and Japs during the war. On special and highly dangerous duty with Allied Intelligence Bureau, he was one of those few gallant lads who carried out operations against the enemy on Gazelle Peninsula—working all the time behind the Japanese lines. For his activities he was awarded a richly-earned Disting uished Conduct Medal.

Bred in New Guinea, John possesses a rare faculty in whitemen—he can beat the natives at their own game and shin up coconut palms.
