Terrorists Routed

×

In a dense clump of bush in the hills surrounding Richmond, a group of terrorists established a camp and from it were able to observe troop movements at Nelson airport. They had to be dislodged from this observation post. But how? That was the problem set about 30 cadets from Waimea College at the close of their barracks week. The cadets split up into three sections and attacked the post (at right top in bush in photo at left) from different angles.
