A KAMIKAZE "NEAR MISS" HMAS SHROPSHIRE
At 1205 6th January 1945
A Ron Russell masterpiece



Kevin Day - Captain No.2 Bofor - must have got a fright? Rex Halliday - Fore control - saw it all.
Stan Nicholls - Captain's EBI - ducked down - self preservation - saw pilot's face clearly - wing dipped between bridge and "B" turret - thought it was all over in a flash - close to dying? - still alive - great relief.
