Title: Darwin Raid, 19 February 1942
Caption: "Stick" of bombs bursting around the Australian hospital ship MANUNDA. A most deliberate attack as can be seen. She was very clearly marked and carried no fighting personnel other than wounded. One nursing sister and four crew members were killed in the attack. One bomb only hit the ship and she was not badly damaged.
