    More information about the engagement of the enemy ships by the Royal Garrison Artillery can be had from the Royal Artillery Museum, Firepower, based in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. For his gallantry during the action, the commander of one of the guns was awarded the first Distinguished Conduct Medal won in Britain. I think some mention of the defence should be included in the summary of the bombardment or else it looks as though it was a one-sided action.

    The Manley, Australia Library blog has an article detailing the highlights of Seizo Kobayashi's career in Japan: " [...] Kobayashi (1877-1962) had an extraordinary career. He visited Australia several times. In 1912, he served on the Royal Navy ship HMS Collingwood as an attache. During WWI, he was awarded the US Navy Cross, for his actions in support of the Allied fleet. After WWI he represented Japan on the committee for disposal of enemy vessels, and no doubt saw to it that Japan received her share of Germany's naval fleet. He returned to Sydney in 1928 commanding the Idzumo, and hosted the NSW Premier, T R Bavin, to a dinner on board. He inspected the guard of honour at Government House. Clearly, he would have spoken English fluently, and the succession of diplomatic postings he undertook may well have had a deeper espionage role. Kobayashi rose to become an Admiral in the First Fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and was a Rear-Admiral during the Japanese campaign in Manchuria. From September 1936 to November 1940, he was the Governor-General of Formosa (now Taiwan), where it is reported that he carried out a policy of 'Japanization'. He must have had blood on his hands. It must have been rare indeed for a Japanese combatant facing the US forces in WWII to have been decorated by them in WWI. Kobayashi resigned his post of Admiral in early 1945, and attempted to lead a group of officers of uncompromising bent, the Imperial Rule Assistance Political Society, hoping to persuade the Emperor not to surrender. The defeat of Japan put an end to his political hopes." manlylocalstudies.blogspot.com/search?q=kobayashi
