There is a history channel documentary on the Montevideo Maru airing in Australia on Remembrance Day.

Do you know of this program Rod?

Look forward to watching it.

Cheers

Hi Geoff

Yes.
John Schindler has a done a marvelous job locating survivors from Rabaul and the families
of those who lost loved ones. The productions web site is here. The Tragedy of the Montevideo Maru - A Documentary Film
Jeremy Harrison who has been assisting with this production maintains
Montevideo Maru
It is also well worth a look.

Throughout my 15 years researching the Rabaul nurses and the Montevideo Maru, I have always wondered why the Chifley

Government were reluctant to hold an inquiry into the loss of the Rabaul men aboard the Montevideo Maru, as it would have brought closure for so many.

For me, the answers finally dropped into place during my recent visits to the National Archives. I circulated a paper describing my findings in May of this year. I've now made it available on my web site: OpenDNS

It's the first new theory, backed by evidence, that has appeared in the last 64 years.

For those of you who have read "Lost Women of Rabaul", this paper explains the arrival of the
Japanese Prince and his aid to Rabaul, noted by Gordon Thomas and the nurses, just prior to the sailing of the Montevideo Maru.

I believe there is still more to be revealed, but this will have to await further research in the Archives.

Thats very " thought provoking " Rod ...... I wonder why nobody has seen it before !!

Thanks for sharing it with us !
