We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. I suppose the whole attack was over in 20 minutes. Aftermath. The number of refugees has previously been given as 8000,The Japanese fighters destroyed at least 22 Allied aircraft.
It was a day when 80 people lost their lives, countless others were injured, and much property was destroyed.
