I retrieved the following from the Australian War Memorial, under the title Annexure to intelligence Summary No.9 of 4 April 1942 “History of Espionage in NEI”. In the previous post, I noted that Japan's war in the Pacific really begins with the establishment of 'The Empire of Japan' with the restoration of Emperor Meiji. We must now begin to plant the seeds of understanding that along with political and military maneuvers, there were substantial and long-term supporting intelligence operations also taking place.
