Caving Exploration Group Bougainville

Thomas, as you may remember we had an active caving exploration group on Bougainville started and organised by Hans Meier Senior Chemist at the time.(1972 to 1986)
Hans started working on Bougainville during the exploration days and was involved in setting up the laboratories and training local employees.
Hans coached the cave group members in safe exploring these caves.
He was the main person to map these caves and has meticulously recorded these mappings.
Hans want to give his records to the autonomous Bougainville Government and it seems to be that you are in a position to pass on the maps to your Minister.
Hans and I both love the people of Bougainville and like to see an independent Bougainville.
The would be of historic and scientific interest as these caves are amongst to largest and most beautiful in the world.
Please send Hans your mail address and organise.
The attached photos have been made by Hans.
Regards,
John van der Linden
