MR. HUGH M. BIRCH writes from Madang: There have been refer . , ences in the “PIM” to the mem orial which was erected on Emirau Is land, north-west of New Ireland, by Mr.

Wilde, to his well-loved wife, who died there. I was in Emirau recently, and I took this photograph of the grave and the memorial. The grave is beautifully maintained, and surrounded by flowers.

These words are carved on the mem orial: “Ich Hatt’ Einen Kameraden Einen Besseren Findst Du Nicht”.
