THIS permanent mem orial has been erected at Tarawa, Gilbert Islands, to the 22 men—five of them residents of the Gilberts—who were mur dered by the Japs in Oc tober, 1942. This new memorial, made of granite in New Zealand, replaces the original memorial made of coconut trees and erected by the Americans soon after they recaptured Tarawa in November, 1943.

The new memorial closely resembles the original (see article this issue).
