Christmas Island - A Japanese Naval Group Shelled The Island

Time: Saturday Mar 7, 1942

Place: Christmas Island

Details: In late February and early March 1942, there were two aerial bombing raids. Shelling from a Japanese naval group on 7 March led the district officer to hoist the white flag. But after the Japanese naval group sailed away, the British officer raised the Union Flag once more.
