Summary
| Description |
English: HMAS Hobart, Tuesday 07/08/42. "Action Ensign" on main mast, Australian flag broken when first gun is fired during invasion of Guadalcanal (Solomons).
Eyewitness statement: I was a signalman on "Hobart" at the time we invaded the Solomons and the ship photographer took this snap after I came back down from securing the flag. The guns kept firing while I was still up there, and that mast shook like crazy. |
