Hi Matt: compliments of the season, and I trust all's well with you. Have just found your comment on Helderline.com regarding your uncle's service aboard ESTURIA and yes, I'd love a copy of your .pdf for some research I'm doing on the RAN. If you're happy to proceed, can I ask you please to send it to neil.westphalen@bigpond.com. cheers / thanks / best wishes Neil |

My Uncle, Chief Engineer John Noel Le Neve Arnold, was awarded a Gold Watch and a Lloyd's Medal and Certificate for extinguishing a fire that broke out aboard the SS Esturia (1910) on October 5, 1925, near Marseilles, while cleaning the tanks after having just unloaded a cargo of benzine . He had been aboard since WWI, when the ship was chartered for service by the Royal Australian Navy as an oiler and supply vessel (operating in Australian and Malayan waters). I have prepared a PDF document that enrichens the history of this vessel but I know no way of making it directly available. I would be happy to send it to any one who requests. |
