Here, told in simple language, is the story of the gallant cruiser HMAS Perth, which went down in World War II. Written by Yeoman of Signals Rowland Roberts.
The whole story of the Perth is here from the day when the crew sailed from Sydney to England to take her over from the Royal Navy, through days of peace and the dark days of war, her great work in the Mediterranean and off Crete, to her final days in the Java seas. (Border Watch 4th August 1942)
