Joseph Alenge (1910-1969) was born at Piniri (Munda), New Georgia, Solomon Islands. He was trained as a medical dresser by the Medical Mission at Kokeqolo and served the Church as dresser at Mono, part of the Shortlands group. In 1940 he joined the Government Medical Service as a dresser at Korovou, near Faisi and continued there until after the war. Alenge kept a work diary in English until after his capture by the Japanese. His diary was then kept in his own language Roviana. Fragments from Oct. 1940 survive
