Norbert "Norb" Ruff mentions in Ruff Stuff:
"The French Ace of WWI was 'Borqua' (sic). He became a missionary and was sent to New Guinea to this location and died a few years later of malaria. Whenever the French Fleet was in the area, they would put a wreath on his grave. Nick Patrick, our Flight Surgeon supposedly found his grave."
