When serving in the Solomon Islands I initiated an annual Remembrance Service at Rove when wreaths were laid to the fallen at the statute of Sir Jacob Vouza, KBE, GM. CPM.
Today, despite age and infirmity, I attended the Remembrance Service held at the British Club in Bangkok.
I very much hope the tradition of annual remembrance is continued in the Solomon Islands and the heroism and courage of Sir Jacob Vouza and his fellow Scouts during the war time occupation of the Solomon Islands is not forgotten.
Yours sincerely
Frank Short.
