Might be interested to know that Jack Bacon planed on living in Aussie after the war as he had married a Sydney girl, prewar if i remember correctly. Also was present and survived when Seagull Mk V was shot down during bombardment of Bardia while being flown by F/L Thomas Macbride Price RAAF who was awarded the DFC for his actions after returning to Australia where he was later relived. Jack Bacon had been with HMAS Sydney since the Prewar Days as had Tom Price. Tom Price survived the war and flew Catalina's for the remainder of the War in the Pacific with the RAAF. Tom Prices replacement was one of the 2 relations we had on board HMAS Sydney when she was sunk with all hands in November 1941. The first Don Ross was a First War Veteran and had joined the RAN in 1925, joining HMAS Sydney in 1939. The other was F/O Ray Barrey RAAF 407000 who took over from mid 1941 as Tom Prices replacement as the RAAF Detachment Commander and Seaplane Pilot on board Ship. If anyone has ANY photos of Ray or his Aircrew Jack Bacon or his TAG Fibs Fibbens RAN or the RAAF Detachment i would love to hear from them. Also any next off kin would also be welcome to make Contact. The Airman/Sailors that Ray undertook his duty with on HMAS Sydney were - Lt Cmdr JC 'Jack' Bacon (O) RN Aged 36 Telegraphist WS (Bill or to his close mates Fibs) Fibbens RAN Aged 22 F/O RB Barrey RAAF - Pilot and RAAF Detachment Commander Aged 25 F/Sgt S Marley RAAF - Fitter Engines Aged 29 Corp AJ Clarke RAAF - Fitter Armament Aged 34 Corp RE Foster RAAF - Fitter Airframe Aged 36 LAC R Dodds RAAF - Fitter Airframe Aged 26 LAC K Homard RAAF - Photographer and Developer of Aircraft Films Aged 27 Oh and how do i get a copy of this great photo????

IN MEMORY OF HMAS SYDNEY II By Paul Bownas For soldiers there are crosses marked To show just where they fell. For sailors there is nothing But the silent ocean's swell. No mark upon those rolling waves, The ripples bear no sign Of how those brave men fought and died Upon the ocean's brine. His family have the memory Of when he was alive, But cannot pray above his grave No matter how they strive. So, pray now for those matelots Who fought upon the sea, Who bravely died in battle So that we could all be free. Let us guard their memory, Record their names in gold, And show that we cannot forget Those sailormen so bold.
