A feature of another interesting exhibition at the Magnetic Museum, starting on Saturday, will be two WW ll flags-one Australian, the other American .
During the war, Americans who came to Townsville at times went to Magnetic Island on a kind of R and R . One place they stayed at was the Horseshoe Bay Guest House , from whence the flags have come .
It seems an American Serviceman married the daughter of the establishment.
Research on the flags for the exhibition called Magnetic Attraction -The Island of Magical Charm -turned up the love story .
Another item of interest which will be on display will be a view of the government launch Woy Woy which took part in a WWl grand aquatic carnival.
