On the formation of the NGVR in Sep 1939, the Chinese Community of New Guinea were very keen to play a part in it. There was no provision for their enrolment with the Unit.

The Regimental Medical Officer (RMO) Maj Norman Bennington WATCH, suggested they form an Auxiliary Stretcher Bearer Unit which could be unofficially attached to NGVR. This was organised early in 1940 under the guidance of the RMO and his most efficient medical WO2 NGX496 WO2 Bob Kennedy MSM. It was a most capable and efficient Unit of about 40 young Chinese Residents of Rabaul.

NGX496 WO2 KENNEDY was executed by the Japanese at the fall of RABAUL; Norman WATCH was captured and spent the rest of the war at ZENTJU Camp in Japan and Died in Sydney NSW in 1951.
