4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

SA. Paybook photograph, taken on enlistment, of SX4394 Private Edward Emanuel Robertson, 8th Division Salvage Unit, Australian Army Salvage Service. He was one of over 2000 Allied prisoners of war (POW) held in the Sandakan POW camp in north Borneo, having been transferred there from Singapore as a part of B Force. The 1494 POW's that made up B Force, were transported from Changi on 7 July 1942 on board the tramp ship Ubi Maru, arriving in Sandakan Harbour on 18 July 1942. Private Robertson, aged 44, died as a prisoner of the Japanese on 23 May 1945. He was the son of William and Johanna Robertson and the husband of Emily Robertson, of Port Wakefield, SA. He is buried in the Labuan Cemetery Section V, Row D, Plot 1. (Photograph copied from AWM232, items 4 and 5. Personal information from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Database.)

There is also a bench seat in the memorial park so it makes for a great place to stop and take a break especially if your travelling through. There is a park and public toilets not far away.

*Exact location is in the hints so there is no disruption to the surroundings. There is no need to step in garden beds - Think like a geocacher and you will nab yourself an easy find. Also keep cache container opening down so water can't penetrate.*
