7th June. JJ lands at Darwin, an entire Division no less! The Emery Point Battery wreaks haoc amongst the ladning ships. I do wonder if they actually reconned the place before paddling ashore. I would have thought a better plan would be to land at Darwin, pin down the troops and THEN attack at K. But what do I know?
