SOUTH PACIFIC HIGHLANDERS. The pipe band of the Pacific Islands Regiment left Port Moresby on August 10 for Brisbane where the band was to make an appearance during the Military Tattoo, Show, etc. The boys of the band, like the two above, caused considerable comment wherever they went —the combination of Pacific islanders and Scottish bag-pipes seeming an incongruous mixture. However, the boys have a natural talent for coping with this primitive type of instrument and the plaintive music it produces. The band was to return to Port Moresby mid-September.
