Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

Thank you for your efforts to help us remember brave men. I developed and distrubuted the HMAS Sydney 11 with Navis for relesase on her finding. Expensive exercise but many relatives of crew were so happy. Keep up good work
