Commander Herbert Gordon Whitebrook
1907 - 1995
Commander Whitebrook was the first Royal Australian Naval reserve officer to be given command of a RAN vessel, HMAS GLENELG. The series conveys Whitebrook's experiences of the surrender of the Japanese second army in Ambon to Australian forces, and of the repatriation of Australian prisoners of war (the survivors of Gull Force). The collective images provide a rare personal glimpse into the darker side of Australia's involvement in the war in the Pacific.
