In Need of a Home Away from Home: the Royal Netherlands Navy in Australia, 1942–1947 / Jones, Mark C   Journal Article
Jones, Mark C Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Royal Netherlands Navy (Koninklijke Marine, KM), after being driven from the Netherlands East Indies (NEI) by the Japanese, stationed forces in Australia from 1942 to 1947. The article addresses prewar naval contacts between the KM and Australia, activities of KM ships and aircraft stationed in Australia during the war, and the KM’s postwar efforts to increase its forces and return to the NEI. The article argues that the KM presence in Australia was more important than is conveyed by the extant literature, because of Australia’s role as a wartime refuge, administration and training center, and supply source for the NEI.
