Good Service by Soldier Brothers

Mrs. E. J. Williams has written to us from Suva about the Military Cross which was awarded to one of her brothers during World War I. PIM, a couple of years ago, stated that Mr. Francis Faddy, who had become a citizen of the United States, was a son of the late Mr.

Frank Faddy, of Fiji; was a member of the Fiji Contingent; and had won the MC and Bar.

Mrs. Williams says there were two brothers at the war—Frank and Norman. But it was not Frank who won MC and Bar: it v/as Norman, who died in Fiji, 1934.

But Frank gave fine service in those dark days, too. He rose to the rank of captain. In the final days of the war, and for a long period after the armistice, he served on the Indian frontier.
