Rabaul
RABAUL ex-servicemen who are entitled to wear the African Star, rneMn the ruins of the old New Guinea Club, on September 6, for an informal smoko.
Only short notice was given but the function appears to have been an un qualified success. Those present ex pressed the hope that a similar gathering will be held each year.
The organisers point out that this is not in opposition to the RSL or any other servicemen’s organisation—that it is “just a gathering together of chaps who have something in common and who would like to swop yarns and recall ‘battles’ that took place in Cairo and Alexandria.”
Among those present were Messrs. Tony Corlass, V. Pearson, Allan Gordon, H.
Read, J. Gilmour, Jr., “Nip” Bourke, J.
Clayton and J. Parry.
