In last month's “ PIM”, Martin Clemens, the author of this article, told of his visit to the island of Malaita, BSIP, following the 20th anniversary celebrations in Honiara in August of the landing of the US Marines on Guadalcanal.
This month, Mr. Clemens describes a subsequent visit to the Western Solomons.
Mr. Clemens was an Admini stration officer in the BSIP before and during the war. He was a District Officer on Guadalcanal when the Japanese landed, and he organised a band of Solomon Islands scouts to harass them. This involved him in many adven tures, some of which he recalls briefly in his article.
