    Our friend Jack died on 13 August    
 

Darwin Military Museum regrets the death in southern Australia of Gunner Jack Mulholland, one of the defenders of Darwin on 19 February 1942. Stationed on Darwin Oval – now the Cenotaph area of the Esplanade – Jack and his gun crew fought fiercely against the 188 aircraft of the first Japanese carrier raid, and in subsequent attacks.

Jack will live on in a permanent looped interview film at the Darwin Military Museum; inone of the 48 Character Cards within the new Defence of Darwin Experience displays, and in his excellent book Darwin Bombed.

Jack was a very brave soldier, but always modestly described his times in action as doing no more than his duty.

Gunner Jack Mulholland will always be remembered at the Museum and by its parent body the Royal Australian Artillery Association (NT) Inc
