Rare footage of WW2 Japanese pilots shot down over Darwin in 1942 graves in this film - and also some of the damage done to Darwin from the air raids in 1942 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rf1c4G74 ... P3ZUjTyECz

Very nice. Thanks

I don't think I've ever seen anything like those Japanese graves at 7:00. Are they made from stone or is it poured concrete?

I was based in Darwin with the RAAF in 1961 and the graves where still there.

Later on the men were interned in the Japanese war cementry which is located at Cowra in country New South
Wales. If you do a google search on Cowra war cementry.

Most the graves were unmarked for reasons I do not know.

The cementry at Cowra is very lovely

Regards Col
