Memorial Service

Hidden Valley honours late Mauri

Final respects were paid to the revered landowner, chief and leader of the mining communities in the Wau-Waria district. 

The ceremony, which was one of three services conducted at Lae, Winima village and Hidden Valley Mine to honour the leader, took place on-site amidst the serene surroundings where Rex Mauri had dedicated his life to the welfare and progress of his people.

Tomorrow we remember our heroes

But despite it being a welcome break from work and school, last year’s parade host for the Remembrance Day celebrations, PNGDF Commander Brigadier General Gilbert Toropo, is calling on citizens to take time out and pay homage to the heroes that make tomorrow possible.

Last year while the Commander expressed disappointment at the lack of fanfare and awareness on such national holidays, this year he says that it’s up to each and every one of us to carry the story of the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels and be brave as citizens of this great thriving independent state.
