We were out of town for six days April 18-23rd, so am catching up with updates.
April 18th-- Sydney relatives and descendants receive permission to join the march in Sudney. They will be behind the RAN band and in front of crew members of the present HMAS Sydney. Up to 1500 currently-serving Australian Navy personnel will take part.
The German ambassador, Martin Luk, expressed gratitude for being allowed to participate in the wreath-laying ceremony at the wreck of the HSK Kormorran.
April 23rd, Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd will attend a memorial service at St. Andrew's Cathedral in Sydney. The church bell will toll 645 times, one for each crew member. At 12:25, three RAAF Hawk aircraft will do a fly-over.
