University of Tarafu Document 00-125-0967

See notes below document.

Notes:

1. This document was obtained from the Ministry of Commerce of the Seiber Islands, successor to the Seiber Islands Department of Commerce of the colonial adminstration.

2. "Louis Saint Louis-les-Bitche" is apparently the true name of the man more commonly known as "Bon Chance Louie". According to French Foreign Legion records, a "Bon Chance Louis", born in the Saint Louis-les-Bitche in Lorraine joined the Legion in 1914. Bon Chance Louis' service record indicates that he served both in North Africa and Europe from 1914-1920. This information agrees with that available for Bon Chance Louie from other sources.

3. A. E. Putnam was apparently a temporary employee of the Department from September to December 1938.
