Name the place, north of Broome Australia, that was strafed by a Japanese Zero in WW2, killing a few aboriginals and their priest - an incident kept quiet at the time and little known about today.

CPL. WILLIAM DUNSTAN and CPL. ALEXANDER STEWART BURTON received the same citation for their VC's (09.08.1915 - Lone Pine, WWI)

LT. FREDERICK HAROLD TUBB received a VC for bravery at the same place and time as Dunstan & Burton, but recieved a different citation.
