Talk:Snake Bay Patrol

Date of Establishment
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.
