I put up this photo elsewhere on the Internet, and there was surprising interest. It was taken on Banaba (Ocean Island). It would be easy to miss it -- the grave expressions on the faces of Takeiti Teriuea (left) and Rev. Eritaia Tabutoa (right). They are standing at a monument to Albert Fuller Ellis. Ellis was knighted for his deeds -- yet he brought ruin for the people and environments of Nauru and Banaba.
OBSERVATION: Today, most Banabans live on Rabi island in Fiji, where they were relocated. This may be the only photo of the monument on the Internet. I was here on this day.
