Remembering those who died on HMAS Sydney

Today the governor-general will join politicians and family members in the West Australian coastal city of Geraldton to remember those who died on HMAS Sydney, 67 years ago today. The remains of the Sydney sailor who was exhumed from an unmarked grave on Christmas Island in 2006 will be buried in a ceremony in the Geraldton War Cemetery as 'the unknown soldier'. For many years Professor Tom Frame, former naval officer and current director of St Mark's National Theological Centre in Canberra has studied the history of the Sydney and its fate.
