Roll Of Ngvr

p. 28 · Read in the full issue

A CORRESPONDENT in the Bulolo district of New Guinea has informed us that a copy of the Mainland Section of the roll of the NGVR is in existence, but “most of the NGVR re cords were destroyed during the burn ing of the Wau-Bulolo Valley in August, 1942. The remainder were carried with us up the Bulldog Trail and into Papua, and eventually were handed over to Queensland and New Guinea Records Office, at Warwick, Queensland.”

We complete in this issue the publica tion of as full a roll of the NGVR as we have been able to compile. It appears to contain all the mainland names, but we fear that many of the New Britain and New Ireland names are missing. We have been unable to obtain the New Britain and New Ireland section of the roll. There may not be one in existence.
