Full o ww2 vets, one of the guys who passed away a few years before had fought at Jutland ed: ed: ed: ed: ed:
Just to put this into American perspective, thats like some guy in 1950 talking to a guy who had fought in the American Civil war, for the Aussies this would be like talking to some guy who fought at Gallipoli.
Some of them had a few interesting stories to tell, one of the guys there had a brother who served on HMS Barham, this is HMS Barham

They had a very extensive library, full of world war two books, I was kindly invited back there & I plan to interview some of the guys there about their stories. If I do find anything interesting I'll post it.
Have any of you guys done anything like this before?
