Ozzie Posted 25 May , 2007 Share Posted 25 May , 2007 Took this photo of a photo at the local RSL. Sorry for the poor quality but had to stand on a table and lean very sideways to get the photo. Can anyone give any further info on the ship or the man. I can go back and ask for it to be taken down for a better photo. Cheers Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Kim no problem, it seems tss nester was a troop ship from sept/1915 till 1918 carrying the Australian expeditionary force and in ww2 sept/oct 1940 carried australian sailors to England to man the n class destroyer HMAS NESTOR.

Ozzie Posted 26 May , 2007 Author Share Posted 26 May , 2007 Thanks Tony. Should be able to write up something for the RSL. Wish I could get a name and history on the soldier in the photo, but I don't think even Sherlock could manage that one. Cheers Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
