The Wild and Woolly Places — Our Men Overseas

The Wild and Woolly Places

Our Men Overseas.

In England, Paul Powell and Cedric Wright are with the Navy; George Culliford and Kingi Tahiwi with the Air Force. Lea. Gandar has now left England, and the last news of him is from South Africa. Arthur Oliver, visiting Suva recently on one of H.M. Ships, met Stan. Lowe and Jim Croxton, who has tramped and clambered over most of the island. Hep. Downes is also in Suva.

Lloyd Stuchbery is in Canada, where, in gaining his commission, he registered the highest average marks yet to be obtained on Uplands air station. Garth Wallace has joined the hordes of V.U.C. men in Egypt mentioned by Lara Sandford in a letter to "Salient" last year, and Roy Johnstone has joined the Public Relations Service there.

The Prison Song echoes from Germany, where Henry Ngata, Bruce Ashe, Bob and Bill Bradshaw are prisoners of war. In a certain Oflag Frank Benouf has attained the giddy rank of Dean of the Faculty of Commerce.

Ron. Baird is now safe in Colombo.

The Records Officer, V.U.C.S.A. is at present compiling an official list of V.U.C. students and ex-students on active service with H.M. Forces, and would be grateful to receive names and present addresses of such.
