The Night of the Mini Subs in Sydney Harbour

Several  residents  were in Sydney on the night of the Japanese mini sub attacks on the Harbour; an evening vividly enscribed in  their memories of youth and early adult years.

Here's Marge on her step-father's response to the attacks  - retold with  amusement - a tale of a broken vase in Rose Bay and memories of visiting injured N.Z sailors hospitalized after the attack on  ships docked at Garden Island:
