Borden Battery Posted 18 June , 2006 Share Posted 18 June , 2006 Fiji in the First World War In August 1914 Great Britain declared war on Germany and the small colony of Fiji rallied to the call. About 400 young men living and working in the colony from Australia, New Zealand or Britain returned to their homelands and enlisted. This small and specialized website provides photographs, details on some of the volunteers and enlistment, the Fijian Labour Corps, a brief reference to the overseas placements, a listing of Medals and Awards and a list of those who died in association with Fiji. There is even a photograph of “Ladies' Machine Gun Corps” of Fiji. [C. Liava'a. Website][July 2006] http://www.freewebs.com/fiji/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
