I am an American military historian researching US casualties resulting from the 3 March 1942 Japanese air raid on Broome, WA. I am particularly interested in two RAAF Catholic chaplains, Father Gregory Abbott and Father William Flynn, who tended to the wounded both during and after the attack.

If either of these priests is still alive, I'd very much like to interview them. I respectfully request that anyone who knows/knew either of these men to contact me at the following address:
