"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts? Check out this site:

This is a good article. My Uncle Ray E Biddle was lost in the sinking of the Shinyo Maru. It wasn't until about a year ago that I found out what the name of the ship he was on.

Intelligence

I did intend to look for the Ultra Intelligence on these sinkings but up to now the time hasn't been available.
The National Archives Catalogue shows that many Japanese signals have been retained by the Relevent Department under one rule or another. The files aren't so orderly and in sequence as those concerning the German and Italian Signals.
Perhaps one day there will be time to take a look.
