DID JAPANESE LAND AT JURIEN BAY, WA
DURING WW2?

visits since 17 July 2001

Over the years there have been stories told about Japanese military being killed at Jurien Bay, between Perth & Geraldton in Western Australia during WW II. The information always seems to be third or fourth hand, though! 

Lindsay Peet advised that he looked at 'Jungle' Jim Davies' book, -The Lady was not a Spy -, The Author, n.p. [Sorrento, WA]*, 1992. The book covers Jurien Bay during WW II. There is no mention of any reference to Japanese being killed there during the war, although Jim mentions a number of Japanese naval activities around Australia, mostly submarine.
