I thought you might have heard about the British Coast Watcher on Guadalcanal.
Martin Clements. I visited him at his house in Clendon Rd, Toorak, many years ago. His stories of the Guadalcanal campaign enthralled me. On his mantelpiece was a figure made of ebony of Joseph Vouza. In 1953, Martin Clements wrote his memoirs in "Alone on Guadalcanal." It is one of the finest books I have read. He died in 2009
