My dad served with Australian special forces response operations and he was a long distance sniper with the Australian special air service regiment in Swanbourne perth Australia
Thank you for sharing this story.. it's at 1st place in the RAN Divers branch .. before I was born yet was the best tale I share quietly thank you all. Whoo hoo
My father was a member of Z - working the back-end onshore.
Initially promoted to Captain in artillery, then seconded across to Z intel as the unit was being formed.
His service covered Malaya, Singapore and the Philippines, along with Z training on Fraser Island and in Canungra in Queensland.
A lot of great stories, and a few group holiday trips around Pittwater in the late 1960s.
Despite my being quite young, I have great memories of meeting a few of the Jaywick crew on those dat trips.
(I loved those!)
Thanks.
The men who are remembered by the next generation.Best men I ever heard about the story. So few men did so much.
My grandfather John Roberts was a telegraphist in Darwin post office during the second world war at bombing of Darwin 19th February 1942
truly amazing what was accomplished by these men. true heroes indeed
Have applied for my Great uncles service records..he was a Scottish Royal Marine that survived the sinking of Repulse,defended the withdrawal thru Malaya with the Plymouth Argylls,then managed to evaded the surrender of Singapore and continued fighting the Japanese from Australia till they surrendered. Was part of the allied Navy crew at the signing of the surrender.
My uncle Bernard kilgarriff served with 2/16 Australian infantry battalion at wewak and gona and balikakpan nthern shore Papua new Guinea 1942
On this side of the planet (Europe) we often consider the raid on St Nazaire one of the greatest raids of WWII (it certainly took brave men to execute the St Nazaire raid, however, IMHO the raid on Singapore, Operation Jaywick, surpassed the St Nazaire raid for it's bravery and audacious execution. I hold those men who took part in this raid as some of the bravest I have ever heard about, frankly they all deserved to be awarded a VC. Although perhaps operation Rimau was a step too far and not really necessary considering the position of the war in the far east at the time. FYI Jaywick is a small town on the Suffolk coast where Ivan Lyon and his wife used to go sailing prior to WWII, unfortunately is currently one of the most deprived towns currently in the UK.
How come the documentary produced and copyrighted by Schindler Entertainment is being claimed by The Queensland Maritime Museum? I am a producer fo this documentary and find it appalling that this can be claimed by The Queensland Maritime museum who had no association with this documentary.
so unnecessary such a waste-they could have achieved the same effect with a carrier strike
They Want a documentary about their father for belated recognition of his and his cobbers exploits, then tells the camera man to piss orf out the way, i know ozzy's have class humour, but that was'nt it im afraid..
