On December 1, 1942, the HMAS Armidale, an Australian naval ship, was torpedoed and sunk by Japanese bombers during World War II. Days after the attack, on December 8, a Catalina flying boat spotted a group of survivors in a life raft and snapped what would become their final photo. Sadly, due to rough sea conditions, the plane couldn’t land and rescue them.

The Isis RSL Sub Branch is now the proud custodian of a piece of HMAS Childers history. In December, the Navy formally farewelled the Armidale-class patrol boats, including the HMAS Childers, in a solemn decommissioning ceremony at HMAS Coonawarra in Darwin. I'm hoping we can acquire some more memorabilia. #ServingYou #ServingHinkler #HMASChilders Isis RSL Sub Branch Inc. | David Batt MP
