Men Who Served with Courage and Distinction In World War II
Part 11.
FOR some months we have been endeavouring to collect a complete roll of names of members who served in the New Guinea Volunteer Rifles. The Australian military authorities would or could not supply us with an official list, but with the help of readers, we have been able to compile a list which we believe is reasonably complete. For the sake of convenience, we have published it in two parts—Part I appeared in October issue of “PIM”; Part 11, which follows, completes the roll.
Surname is given first, then the Christian name, followed, when these details were obtainable, by next-of-kin and/or address, military number and rank.
The following contractions are used: Rfn., rifleman; pte., private; I/cpl., lance corporal, etc.
