About This Item
Adelaide: Avonmore Books. 2016. Small Quarto Size [approx 17.5cm x 24cm]. MINT - a NEW copy. Illustrated with Colour and Black & White Photographs. Colour and black & white illustrations. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 317 pages. Teddy Sheean was part of the evacuation of his warship, the corvette Armidale sinking fast while around it swarmed Japanese aircraft, shooting with abandon. Teddy turned back to his gun, an Oerlikon 20mm anti-aircraft cannon with a broad leather strap to secure the gunner. He began firing... a courageous Tasmanian determined to do his best to save his mates and his ship. He should have received a VC. Also compares the bravery of Sheean with other Australian naval heroes who should have been decorated with the Victoria Cross. Reveals that the RAN was proud of the âArmidaleâ and her fight and did not cover up her lost. . New. 1st Edition. Softcover.
