History / Summary

Petty Officer 'Jack' Daniels is featured in an artwork by the Official War Artist Peter Churcher (ART91787). These overalls however do not appear to be the overalls from the painting, but another pair he wore during his service in HMAS Kanimbla as part of the International Coalition against Terrorism.
