Default HMAS Sydney (d. 11/19/1941) Sailor Identified

HMAS Sydney Mystery Solved: 11/19/1941 - 11/19/2021

After 80 years, the mystery sailor from "Sydney" whose body washed up on Christmas Island has been positively identified through DNA analysis and forensic archaeology. The results will be announced at the time of this year's

annual commemoration in Australia on November 19th.

There was speculation in 2019 about one name in particular, but now we will be 100% sure.

80 years ago, he and his mates saved hundreds of lives at the cost of their own; hopefully this development will be some comfort to their descendants.
