BRITISH NEW GUINEA, Armed Constabulary, binoculars in brass, on the side of one glass lens is the name, 'W.D.H.Palmer', and on the side of the other lens is the name, 'New Guinea'. Fine.
On 16 February 1893 W.D.H.Palmer took up duties as the Commandant of the British New Guinea Armed Constabulary, a para-military group comprising men from New Guinea, Papua and the Solomon Islands. Unfortunately he only lasted one year before ill health forced him to leave the country.
