From the diverse files of Darwin agronomist Robert Wesley-Smith has emerged this tattered WWll Japanese flag from New Guinea on which are some Japanese names. His father had been in New Guinea during the war . The flag , found while sorting out a carton of miscellaneous items, had been in Wesley-Smith's possession since about 1985. He has passed it to Darwin's War Museum at East Point where it is being examined by a Japanese woman ; the museum has a similar flag on display .
