Tribute to Lieutenant Bourjade (Fr Leon Bourjade, msc) in Papua New Guinea
Friday March 8, 2024
Very beautiful tribute paid by the sailors of the French ship Auguste Benebig during its stopover in PNG, to Lieutenant Bourjade (Fr Leon Bourjade, msc) buried on Yule Island.
This army pilot, also a missionary, distinguished himself during the First World War by his piloting prowess which made him famous. He died 100 years ago among these missionary brothers.
The tribute, as well as the welcome on the island, by the community and by the brothers and sisters succeeding our missionaries was very moving.
