They decided to attack by sea, and assembled an amphibious expedition for the purpose, which set out early in May 1942. They were, however, intercepted and heavily defeated by American air and naval forces in the Coral Sea, and what remained of the Japanese expedition returned to Rabaul.

Hi,

i am looking for my grandfather, Stanley O'Connor, he wasn't buried @ Bomana but his name appears on one of the pillars of the Stone of Remembrance. Do you have a list of those names?

Thanks!
