Evacuation of Missions and Isolated Stations Northern territory 1942

Katherine
27th March, 1942
Dear Mr Giles
I forward herewith a list of people who are
being evacuated from Katherine by train this afternoon (Friday).
A copy of this list has been handed to Fr. Henschke who is
travelling as Welfare Officer. They will, I expect, leave Larrimah
tomorrow morning and you can get advice of their subsequent
progress from Army.
As we need a number of lists here, I can only
send you one copy to work from but you will no doubt be
able to get other copies typed in A.S..
There are still about 20 people, six white
women at Mataranka including .... boy and about
140 to be evacuated from Pine Creek. These will all be
on the next train which at present I expect to leave
Pine Creek on Sunday morning.
I propose to go on to Pine Creek tonight by
train and get things in operation there. I propose to send
Miss Halberstater and Miss Haynes as Welfare Officers
with that convoy and also Mr Tambling if arrangements
to his release are completed. From Pine Creek
I will return to Darwin and send you a list of that
train load from there.
You will see that they are a very mixed bunch
and therefore I have shown what they are. You will have the
job of sorting them out for accomodation and informing
Adelaide and Interior. Will you also please send a list
to Brigadier ....... DSO MC, Movements Section, Army HQ
Melbourne.
All well. Cheers
. G Carrington
Will arrange Lampe's? transfer to A.S. as soon as possible
after my return to Darwin.
