A facinating site. Mind boggling research. A wonderful read to keep returning to time and time again.

Hi…what to say? A very informative site…
Well…in a GUEST book the guest should be kind…or not to sign…this is my opinion.
Always have respect of the other, if you want him to respect you.

I think this site is excellent and obviously far too mature for the rude person who bagged it a few entries prior. Ignore such childish remarks. You have done a great job and should feel proud.

Hi Mackenzie, what a great naval site, I am particularly impressed with your tribute to HMAS Canberra (1) and her gallant crew. I commissioned HMAS Canberra (2) in 1981, I went on to serve in HMAS Canberra on 4 different occassions for a period of 9 years, whilst I served in HMAS Canberra I was grateful to have the opportunity to visit the site where HMAS Canberra (1) sunk off Savo Island and be involved in Rememberance Ceremonies for the crew, I was a part of the crew when we dedicated the memorial for HMAS Canberra (1) at Vilu in the Solomon Islands in 1988, it was a moving ceremony, a flower was placed on the monument for every soul that was lost, I was selected to place a flower on the Memorial for W.J. McDonald.

Yours Aye

About the Neandertal and the City I come from

These are not my Websites, but they are about the Area I am from! Enjoy it!

By surfing trough WWII Pacific Theatre Sites

Germany / Düsseldorf Area / Mettmann (the City, the Neandertal belongs to)

I do have comments, for sure. My first is: Pls apologize, if my english is not that good. Its a long time, since I had to speak and write it in Business! So, who ever finds erorrs in spelling or gramma, could keep them! )

Many thanks for this really informative Page! I find it quite surprisingly, that you care for the Gustloff and other Refugee Ships, sunk by end of the WWII. Even your interest in German Marauders of WWI and WWII was quite surprising for me. I have, for reasons whatsoever, a special interest in the Pacific Theatre during WWII and so I found your site by looking for the SAVO Desaster. Your comments and additions are highly informative!

As you see, I am from Germany. So my first impressions from WWII where, what I have heared from elder People in my Family, which have served in the Wehrmacht or Navy or Luftwaffe. Later on, I read more and more about it and about, what the Nazis made the War for. So today I could say, we Germans did not loose the War, we where freed from a Regime, which the World has not seen before or since! So with proud, I have served in the German Army as Part of the NATO and as Part of a real democratic Germany. To be honest, one has to understand this, to understand why so many People in Germany where against the US/UK War on Irak, without sufficient Reasons to do so. Thats what you told us for more than 40 Years, we have learned at least!

Anyhow, many many thanks for your Work on this Site! I hope you will get the chance of another 20 to 30 Years, to keep the things rolling. As one said here in Germany: As long as we remember, they are still with us!

With very kind and warm regards from Germany, to you, your Family and your Friends "down under"

Ballarat

Very interesting story on the "Wolf". I have an urgent need to identify the Merchant mariners who were POW on Wolf. An All- Australian POW Memorial Wall is being erected in Ballarat, and we would like to put their names on the wall.Can you please help?

Does anyone know the names of the sailors in the survivors of the Canberra sinking in the last of two photographs in this site. One looks a bit like my Dad, would like to know.
