19 March 1942

Around 10am Moresby is hit with raid No 14 as 8 Japanese bombers drop 18 bombs near the stern of the Minaka near Paga Point without hitting it and another 20 near the wharf, with some near the wireless station. No real damage and no casualties.

Patrols from 5r3rd Battalion head off into the nearby mountains after reports that anti-aircraft fire has brought down one of the enemy bombers.
