  • The Vietnam War an Australian Perspective
    THE VIETNAM WAR AN AUSTRALIAN PERSPECTIVE [Compiled from records and historical articles by R Freshfield] Introduction What is referred to as the Vietnam War began for the US in the early 1950s when it deployed military advisors to support South Vietnam forces. Australian advisors joined the war in 1962. South Korea, New Zealand, The Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand also sent troops. The war ended for Australian forces on 11 January 1973, in a proclamation by Governor General Sir Paul Hasluck. 12 days before the Paris Peace Accord was signed, although it was another 2 years later in May 1975, that North Vietnam troops overran Saigon, (Now Ho Chi Minh City), and declared victory. But this was only the most recent chapter of an era spanning many decades, indeed centuries, of conflict in the region now known as Vietnam. This story begins during the Second World War when the Japanese invaded Vietnam, then a colony of France. 1. French Indochina – Vietnam Prior to WW2, Vietnam was part of the colony of French Indochina that included Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Vietnam was divided into the 3 governances of Tonkin, Annam, and Cochinchina. (See Map1). In 1940, the Japanese military invaded Vietnam and took control from the Vichy-French government stationing some 30,000 troops securing ports and airfields. Vietnam became one of the main staging areas for Japanese military operations in South East Asia for the next five years. During WW2 a movement for a national liberation of Vietnam from both the French and the Japanese developed in amongst Vietnamese exiles in southern China.

  • An Analysis of the Loss of HMAS SYDNEY
    An analysis of the loss of HMAS SYDNEY By David Kennedy The 6,830-ton modified Leander class cruiser HMAS SYDNEY THE MAIN STORY The sinking of cruiser HMAS SYDNEY by disguised German raider KORMORAN, and the delayed search for all 645 crew who perished 70 years ago, can be attributed directly to the personal control by British wartime leader Winston Churchill of top-secret Enigma intelligence decodes and his individual power. As First Lord of the Admiralty, then Prime Minster, Churchill had been denying top secret intelligence information to commanders at sea, and excluding Australian prime ministers from knowledge of Ultra decodes of German Enigma signals long before SYDNEY II was sunk by KORMORAN, disguised as the Dutch STRAAT MALAKKA, off north-Western Australia on November 19, 1941. Ongoing research also reveals that a wide, hands-on, operation led secretly from London in late 1941, accounted for the ignorance, confusion, slow reactions in Australia and a delayed search for survivors . in stark contrast to Churchill's direct part in the destruction by SYDNEY I of the German cruiser EMDEN 25 years before. Churchill was at the helm of one of his special operations, to sweep from the oceans disguised German raiders, their supply ships, and also blockade runners bound for Germany from Japan, when SYDNEY II was lost only 19 days before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and Southeast Asia. Covering up of a blunder, or a punitive example to the new and distrusted Labor government of John Curtin gone terribly wrong because of a covert German weapon, can explain stern and brief official statements at the time and whitewashes now, with Germany and Japan solidly within Western alliances.

M. MCDONALD*, E. M. TODD† Sydney, New South Wales SUMMARY The Medical Officer’s Journal of HMAS Sydney was a record kept by the ship’s surgeon, Leonard Darby, of the conditions on the ship and the health, diseases, injuries and treatment of the sailors under his care. Records of anaesthesia and surgery indicate chloroform was mostly administered, as was ether occasionally. There was some use of intravenous and subcutaneous fluids for resuscitation. The journal also provides an eyewitness account of the Sydney–Emden battle on 9 November 1914 which occurred off the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and was a famous first victory for the young Australian Navy, making headlines around the world. The treatment of the many injured, mostly Germans, is described with the two Australian surgeons and the surviving German surgeon working together. Key Words: HMAS Sydney, naval, medic, anaesthesia, World War I Carefully stored and treasured at the Australian senior surgeon, Dr Leonard Darby, covering the War Memorial in Canberra is the Medical Officer’s period of World War I.

  • HMAS Sydney II Commemorative Football Match
    HMAS Sydney II Commemorative Football Match The Finding Sydney Foundation, the Australian Football League and the Royal Australian Navy in conjunction with the Sydney Swans and West Coast Eagles Football Clubs are pleased to announce that the inaugural Annual HMAS Sydney II Commemorative Football Match will be held on Saturday 24th April 2010 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. HMAS Sydney II was a proud and distinguished fighting ship so it was with a profound sense of loss that the nation learned that she had been sunk with all 645 crew in a mutually destructive engagement with the German Auxiliary Cruiser Kormoran on 19 November 1941, some 112 miles West of Shark Bay, Western Australia. The tragic fate of Sydney and her crew remained a mystery until she was found by the Finding Sydney Foundation on 16 March 2008 sitting upright on the ocean floor at a depth of 2,500 metres. Hosted in 2010 by the Sydney Swans, the Match will be held annually between the Sydney Swans, representing her home port, and the West Coast Eagles, representing the State of her final operations and resting place. The Match is in memory of the Sacrifice made by Sydney’s men and by their families. The HMAS Sydney II Trophy has been donated to the AFL by the Finding Sydney Foundation and will be flown in to the ‘Bounce- Down Circle’ by a Navy helicopter. The trophy is in the form of a Ship’s Battle Honours Board showing Sydney’s distinct badge and campaign and battle honours in polished bronze on a jarrah base and backboard as illustrated above.

  • The Indonesian Confrontation 45Th Anniversary Commemoration Malaya & Borneo Veterans Day 2011
    The Indonesian confrontation 45th ANNiversary Commemoration malaya & borneo veterans day 2011 On the 25th May 1964, at 0001 hrs, HMAS Sydney weighed anchor at Garden Island in Sydney. On board were troops from 111 LAA Bty RAA, 21 Construction Sqn RAE, Iroquois helicopters and crews for RAAF Base Butterworth, and enough stores and ammunition for the Army units for 3 months. These were the first troops to be transported by HMAS Sydney after conversion to a Fast Troop Transport Ship. Well before being known as “The Vung Tau Ferry”. The destroyer escorts were HMAS Yarra and HMAS Parramatta. The Australian public in general will have no knowledge of this, or, the two undeclared wars that were fought on the peninsular of Malaya and on the island of Borneo, post World War 2. You will find scant reference to these wars in the Australian Military archives, and there is little information to confirm these wars in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. The Indonesian Confrontation with Malaysia commenced in 1962 in Sabah. The Indonesian dictator Sukarno had declared the formation of Malaysia was not valid, and as such, would vigorously attack the Malayan peninsula and targets in Borneo.
