@JonPiccini Agree more important is that nothing is mentioned about the Fall of Rabaul,especially the loss of the Montevideo Maru. And the loss of the civilians not evacuated in time
I was privileged to represent the Rabaul Historical Society at the Montevideo Maru Last Post Service , the AWM yesterday. It's still a marginalised part of both countries' history
@Ed_Pinfield Agree. Also, there is the issue of the bombing of Rabaul for 365 days, including an attempt to set off the volcanoes. Little thought was given to the local people or for the POW's.
