From Matangi Tonga Magazine Vol. 15, no. 2, June 2000.

For Sale: one Corporal from the British Army, soaked in perfumed Tongan oil. Identified only as “Neil” he was bought by Billfish Bar manager, Liz Sullivan for $100 during an auction to raise funds for the Red Cross on May 16.

“Give me time to think what we can use him for,” said Liz, as the Corporal called for someone to untie his hands and legs.

Meanwhile, an electric typewriter was auctioned for $500, and there were no more volunteers from the British Army who were in Tonga on a military training exercise.
