HMAS Sydney 2 Virtual Memorial
« on: Thursday 30 October 08 03:56 GMT (UK) »
I have received from Headquarters Royal Australian Navy Letter detailing the creation of a memorial on the net for relatives of the Navalmen lost in the sinking of the RAN Cruiser HMAS Sydney in 1941
The controllers of the site are requesting family member to collate reminiscences  of the 645 souls lost in that disastrous event.
I think that this is a great way to honour these young men who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country and the free world.
I will be honoured to collate the story of my uncle Acting Petty Officer F(Arthur) Tabor.
A veteran with Six years service
