With regards the Japanese attack on SS Augustina in Java Sea, March 1st 1942 (and subsequent massacre); for those of you well read (probably very well read actually) on WWII events / books, can anyone recall what the name of the book the attached pages may have been extracted from and / or the authour’s name.

Any help much appreciated!!

Answered elsewhere i.e. "Japan's Blitzkreig" by Bernard Edwards, however…...

………. take no notice whatsoever of the highlighted lines in the pages I posted as that part is pure fiction, we discovered the wreck of Augustina south of Cape Puting Borneo, and just somewhat south of the wreck of USS Pope as a matter of fact.

Had found the name of book earlier, but had completely forgotten about that thread on other forum, or that I myself was even involved in it! :oops:

Thanks for the link!

And hi Matt, got your PM message from IJN forum, will reply today
