p. 51 · Read in the full issue

A MEMORIAL to Coastwatchers who were killed during the war in the South-West Pacific, is to be erected. The form of the memorial and the Islands site have yet to be chosen.

The matter was discussed recently in Rabaul, NG, when Mr. W. H.

Brooksbank, of Navy Office, Mel bourne, met ex-Coastwatchers.

A memorial to men of this

organisation, which gave such ex traordinary service, should have full public support.

Mr. S. Cupples joined the Maui Pomare as Third Officer in August.

He replaces Mr. E. C. Keven, who had been in the vessel since March.
