City of Benares - RAAF
Dear Mac and Pip Byrne,
If you access www.lawnswoodhighschool.com then go to Miss Armes’ story then go to The Yorkshire Post of 27
Sep 1940 you will find that the Royal Australian Air Force are given credit for finding the last life boat (No.
12) from City of Benares.
Hope this is of use.
Kind regards
Capt. Mike Kinnear
Mike,
My thanks for that.
Best regards,
Mac.
