I have just stumbled across a thread from member Doug T (NT) titled "Sunday History Lesson", posted on 17/10/2010. It was about the sinking of HMAS Patricia Cam in WW2.

My father, Alfred Roy Tanner, was on this ship when it was bombed by the japanese. He was one of the survivors rescued from the island. Dad died 2 days ago, aged 89. I chanced upon the thread while researching/re-living his past.
He is the good looking bloke on the extreme bottom right of the photo of the survivors.
I am curious as to why you posted this story. I am wondering if Doug T has a personal connection with this event, and if so, I would be ever so grateful for a reply.
regards
