Remembering those killed in the Japanese invasion of the New Guinea Islands, and the 70th anniversary of Australia’s worst maritime tragedy. On 1 July 1942 the unmarked Japanese prison ship, Montevideo Maru, was torpedoed by an American submarine off the Philippines. All 1,053 servicemen and civilian internees on the ship lost their lives.
