You're Top Poster: #4 | watcha hedwig. Your dad was on the mine laying ships or the mine sweepers? Do you have more details? I am sure we can turn up dozens of Bill Hislops if we tried in the Navy. Popular name.

You're Top Poster: #3  | Welcome to the forum Caz. Hope you can get some good info here!

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?
