From the Feb. 19, 2013 Global Times.
Darwin, the capital of Australia's Northern Territory had a commemoration February 19th to remember those killed in Japanese attacks 71 years ago.
The commemoration in Darwin included the opening of a new memorial wall at Darwin Military Museum lists the name of all 1,672 people killed during Japanese attacks on the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia.
In 2011, the Australian government proclaimed February 19th thenceforth as a national day of observance to be known as Bombing of Darwin Day.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
