[?]Home From The

British Army

Home after five years service with the British Army in postings all over the world these Fiji men leave their chartered Britannia at Nadi airport to begin two months leave.

More than 100 of them— mostly Fijians but including some Indian and mixed race person alities—were given heroes' wel comes by a crowd of about 1,000 which milled about the airport hours before the turbo-jet's arrival.

First off was Lance-corporal Samarsam Pillay, from a Germany posting. A crowd of Fijian women grabbed him and it was sometime before he could disentangle him self from their kisses and join his swn family waiting nearby. Five fears in the British Army had nade the men confident and smart.
