Hi all, Thanks to those who responded kindly to my query. Another question. Was HMAS Lonsdale a ship, a naval headquarters or both in WW2?? From what I understand, it was a Naval Headquarters based in Melbourne. My GG Uncle Thomas De Carteret was an officer who served there. Cheers, Steve in Melbourne. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail is now available on Australian mobile phones. Go to http://ninemsn.com.au/mobilecentral/signup.asp
