Description
Rabaul (?), New Britain. c.1915. The RAN destroyer HMAS Warrego docked at a wharf with RAN members of the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force (AN&MEF) sitting on the wharf's steps next to the ship. HMAS Warrego took part in operations in German New Guinea including landing a party at Kabakaul on 11 September 1914 which culminated in the capturing of the Bitapaka wireless station. In December 1914 HMAS Warrego took part in an unsuccessful search for a reported German raider in Madang, New Guinea, along with SS Nusu on which Petty Officer Hubert Laurence Maynard Greaves RAN was aboard.
