Allen Redfearn: "In late 1941 and early 1942 most civilians were evacuated from Broome when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour.
So, Fred Redfearn (Snr) and his family rented a house in Subiaco, a suburb of Perth, for the duration of WW2. This photo was taken at the Lockhart house, also in Subiaco. Fred remained in Broome after evacuation to help run the Broome Powerhouse.Keith Lockhart and my father (Harold) were friends and they were on leave together at the time."
