I am trying to contact a distant relative Shane Logan. The only reference I have of him is from a Xmas card (probably 1976) sent to us by his Auntie Dorothy Clayton (nee Logan) where she states when mentioning the Xmas - New Year celebrations " all our family will be there with the exception of my nephew Shane Logan who usually spends Xmas with us if he is in Aust. but who serves on the H.M.A.S. Sydney in charge of the engine room, at the moment is up in the gulf has been there for the last 7 months cleaning up."
I take it from that she is referring to the clean up after the Darwin cyclone but am a but unsure of that because I see that H.M.A.S. Sydney was de-commissioned in 1973.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Wallace Logan

I'm seeking shipmates who were on HMAS SYDNEY in Vung Tau between 4th and 6th May 1966 and also 6th and 8th June 1966.

I was an OD at the time involved in dog bodies duties.

We were moving an electric motor which slipped out the sling crashing two of us to the deck. I can't remember the other blokes name. I recieved a back injury. It wasn't reported as I was told to get up and get on with it.

This injury is well recorded with subsequent flare ups documented in my naval medical records and now I'm restricted to using a walking stick.

DVA won't entertain my claim without a witness.

If you can help please call me on 0409 515 441 or send an email to:

Regards

From Sheldon Setter - I am looking for old friends of my great uncle, Levison Carr. I was told he served on the HMAS Sydney just after World War 2 and that they were patrolling for U-boats. Other than that I have not been told much else and would like to find someone or a few people that served with him. Unfortunately my uncle has passed away and I never got to ask him about those days in the navy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My e-mail is saving.lives@shaw.ca and please feel free to post it for anyone who may have known him. Thanks for your help.
