    John Curtin

    1885
    added by: MuddyWaters
    “  John Curtin withdrew Australian troops from Africa after they defeated Rommel at Tobruk and brought them back to defend Australia from what he perceived as a imminent threat from Japan. After the bombing of Pearl Harbour, he made sure American ships and aircraft were able to be refuelled in Darwin, Broome and Townsville therefore keeping the American Fleet from being forced to surrender. Darwin was bombed more than fifty times by the Japanese trying to disable fuelling operations but the Australians make various dummy fuel depots and installed the real fuel under the cliffs of Port Darwin. This continued until 1944.
