- Jan Senbergs collaborated with Col Madigan, one of the Armidale survivors to create this work which forms part of a series of ten pastel drawings depicting the sinking of HMAS Armidale on 1 December 1942. Here Col Madigan is shown plunging into the sea off the flat side of the ship as Japanese aircraft continue to attack the Armidale.
