Portrait of General MacArthur and General Thomas Blamey, New Guinea, October 1942

  • Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:
    The gent standing between MacArthur and Blamey looks like Major-General Cyril Clowes - www.awm.gov.au/collection/026705 Clowes won the first land victory against the Japanese in the Second World War, at the Battle of Milne Bay, New Guinea. Like many other senior officers involved in the Papuan campaign, he was then transferred to a less important posting by General Sir Thomas Blamey. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Clowes He was known as "Silent" Cyril Clowes. In A Bastard of a Place: The Australians in Papua, Australian historian Peter Brune explained why; Clowes was a man of few words to those he knew and even less to those he did not. His quiet, calm disposition merely masked a professional, highly trained and courageous officer who was at his best in a crisis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Clowes
