N.G.V.R.

interim Lists From Readers' Notes

LAST August, following unsuccessful application to Army Records for a complete list of personnel of the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles, we asked readers to supply us with the names of such members as they remembered.

We are grateful to a number of Ter ritorians who responded to our request.

From their letters we have been able to compile the following list. This is still incomplete, particularly in respect of those areas outside of Rabaul and New Britain.

We would be grateful to any reader who could supply additions to the pre sent list. A revised list will be published in a few months’ time.
