Date of Establishment

[edit]

It is not clear to me that the Snake Bay Patrol was formed in the 1930s.

This reference:

includes a photo with the caption "SNAKE BAY PATROL COMPRISING MELVILLE ISLANDERS CIRCA 1939/." That same photo appears in

The photo has a link to https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C54124 which says "Date made 22 December 1943". So, it would seem that the photo is not best described as "CIRCA 1939" In contrast:

states that the units were formed after the first bombing raid on Darwin. I've taken the liberty of removing "Category:1930s in the Northern Territory". If someone has a citation for the patrol starting in the 1930's, then by all means please add that category back in. Cxbrx (talk) 03:00, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
