00:42Their sons or brothers or husbands were never officially recognised. It would have been awful.
00:48So there was no memorial even for their comrades to go and visit because they have disappeared.
00:53And some are buried at sea. One went down with a Sydney.
00:57And there was no memorial service for that person here in Coginup. And we're having that today.

01:34Like, this is where they will be remembered.
01:37You know, they don't have a grave.
01:39Closing a chapter of West Australian history.
