Remembering Operation Jaywick (WWII) (Stage 5, Stage 6)
80 years ago during WWII, a daring raid targeted Japanese shipping in the port of Singapore.
Hear extracts from first person accounts and learn about this inspiring story through primary sources.
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
In September 1943, fourteen men in a captured fishing boat made a perilous undercover voyage to strike at the heart of Japanese occupied Singapore. They had sailed 3,960 km from Exmouth, Western Australia, deep into enemy territory aboard the captured Japanese-built fishing boat Krait. The action was called Operation Jaywick, and it became the starting point for Australia’s Special Forces.
In this Virtual Excursion, students engage with extracts from diaries of some of the men who were involved with this top-secret mission, and hear the fascinating story read by actors. They discuss the value of these primary sources and consider how we remember these actions today.
