A brilliant book on the subject is ‘A Very Rude Awakening - The Night The Japanese Midget Subs Came To Sydney Harbour’ by: Peter Grose - amzn.to/3HrFJy0

I knew that we had Japanese subs come into Sydney Harbour, but I didn't realise that there was any loss of life, other than the Japanese themselves. I'm impressed that we showed such respect to the Japanese submariners. I wonder how likely it is that Australian submariners would have been shown similar respect, were the shoe to be on the other foot? War, such a stupid waste of life and infrastructure!

My grandmother observed the sub attack on Newcastle, she lived on Tyrrell Street at the time. Probably ignored instructions to stay indoors and I'd say many others did the same.

A personal connection! I'm sure many ignored warnings and went to have a look.

I remember my father telling us kids about that night, he was an air raid warden in Mosman.

Our schools are a joke here. Few realize how close Australia was to imminent danger from the Japanese. Well always be with Australia.
