HMAS Sydney vs SMS Emden, 09 Nov 1914

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:

  2. Sorry, first message went astray!

    What 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.
