One hundred years ago today Australia's most significant battle up to that time, was fought. It was between HMAS Sydney and the German raider SMS Emden.
I have already briefly covered some aspects of this battle on a previous post:

ReplyDeleteWhat a great post to commemorate a significant event. I am really enjoying The ANZAC Legend, Dave, what a sensational achievement. I'd not see the 100th anniversary site for Battle of Cocos too - nice one.
Thanks for the feedback Oswald. I'm glad you're enjoying. I'll put another post up soon.
