p. 155 · Read in the full issue

ONE of the streets of Duntroon —the Australian Military College near Canberra—has been named Page Street, after the late Captain R. Page, DSO.

Captain Page was the son of the late H. H. Page, Government Secretary of New Guinea at the time he was lost in the Montevideo Maru in 1942, and of Mrs. Page who now lives in Sydney.

Captain Page was engaged on secret raids on enemy shipping and installations in Japanese-held areas north of Australia. He and his small unit carried out a number of raids successfully—but from one of them they did not return.
