Here's some links to other related web sites. Providing links is good "Netiquette", enabling the Internet to
effectively become its own index. That way, even if visitors haven't found what they wanted on my site, it may at
least have pointed them in the right direction.

A Memorial To The Wilhelm Gustloff:
http://www.feldgrau.com/wilhelmgustloff.html
The "Wilhelm Gustloff" was a refugee ship that was sunk at the end of the Second World War, killing an estimated
6,000 to 8,000 or more people. This is four times as many lives as were lost on the "Titanic", making it the
biggest ever shipping disaster in terms of loss of lives. My partner, Inge, was one of only approximately 800
survivors.

Tony Palmer is one of my longest standing friends, who I have known since secondary school. This book, Tony's
first, is a moving story set around wartime Australia, whose young characters converge at the battle for Isurava
during the Kokoda campaign in 1942.
