Sullivan, now senior engineer at Christchurch. Mr Reynolds was project engineer for the New Zealand Ministry of Works on the Nandi international airport reconstruction project in Fiji before he replaced Mr A. G. Ferry (now Director of Works in Western Samoa) at Timaru. A senior engineer in the Ministry’s Hamilton office, Mr Reynolds was stationed at Rotorua before he left tor Fiji in June at last year. Previously he had been at Nelson, a post he took over on arrival from Britain in mid-1951. During the Second World War he served with the Royal Engineers, mainly with a field company, landing in France on D Day and subsequently going on to Belgium, Holland and Germany. Mr Sullivan, who served in the 20th Battalion overseas during World War 11, was in Nelson after the war, and he was engaged on the Cobb Hydro-elec-tric scheme until five years ago, when he went to Christchurch.
