Suva War Graves
p. 28 · Read in the full issue
THE Imperial War Graves Commission has taken over the responsibility for the military cemetery at Suva.
Tne Secretary-General of the Anzac Agency of the Imperial War Graves Com mission (Brigadier A. E. Brown), recently visited Fiji to inspect the cemetery.
It is intended to erect a stone cross with a bronze sword superimposed. A stone wall will be built along the road
boundary of the cemetery, the pathways will be dispensed with and the whole cemetery laid out in lawn.
More than £BOO worth of the new 10/and £1 Fijian stamps were disposed of, mostly to dealers and philatelists, on the first day of selling at Suva. The design of the stamps (a peculiar pawpaw tree and a stereotyped Police bugler) have been strongly criticised in many quarters.
Admiral A. Radford, Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet, and High Commissioner of US Pacific Trust Territories, is shown here with his pilot (right) during a brief visit to Western Samoa in April. He later went via Fiji to Australia, where he was the guest of the Govern ment during Coral Sea Week in early May (in commemoration of Coral Sea battle in May, 1942). —Photo by Superflash.
