HMAS Sydney: Eight Bells-- Stories Based on Nothing

1. Eight bells tolled for the crew of the HMAS Sydney across Australia at yesterday's Remembrance Day. A special service was also held at St. Patrick's Basilica in Freemantle.

2. STORIES BASED ON NOTHING-- Claims that bodies of the Sydney's crew were buried in the sand hills along the West Australian coast have been dismissed by an inquiry as "mere stories based on nothing.

A claim was made by David Angwin who describes himself as "a digger with a shovel." He also claimed that the captain of the Kormoran, which sank the Sydney, had the crew of a Japanese submarine in the area executed.

The article seemed to indicate that the Kormoran's crew killed the Sydney's survivors and buried them on land.

Kind of Hard to Believe. --Cooter
