Sister Vivian Bullwinkel - Sole survivor of the Banka Island Massacre
Today is the 75th anniversary of the Banka Island massacre.
22 members of the Australian Army Nursing Service and other survivors of the sinking of the SS Vyner Brooke massacred on Banka Island by the Japanese. The only survivor from this party of Australian nurses was Sister Vivian Bullwinkel. Lest we Forget.
