Be inspired by the courage of this hard-working Southland farmer who led the First Commando Fiji Guerrillas in World War II.

This is the remarkable true-life story of Major Charles W. H. Tripp aka “The Boss”.

My parents were an exceptional couple. Their characters and their influence in the local community, the farming world and in a much wider sphere were significant. Father’s contribution to the war effort in the Solomon Islands well deserved the Silver Star given him by the Americans—this story is unique and is one that you will not find in many of the war histories. ~Dick Tripp, author.
