Hi Trostar,

Where abouts in Australia are you.  I am in Brisbane. Phone 07 54267398.  I will be in NZ in November in the South Island for some family catch ups with my Brother.  Last time we were chasing my dads world war 11 history.  I would appreciate anything you can post me and am prepared to pay you for postage and paper for copying.

I too would like a copy of the survivors, my uncle Eric Wilde may have been on Anking, it was his assigned ship but he was lent to other ships.  Sultan was the pay station so all would have history with Sultan but were on other ships.  I live in Australia but am from NZ as my mum married a RNZAF pilot but she always was trying to find her brother and what happened to him she thought he survived the sinking of his ship and was killed  on land.

Hi Hannah.

I am very interested in your project and would be interested in info in your relatives journals as I am looking for my uncle who was on the Anking but cannot verify if he was on her at the time of her sinking, his name is

WILDE, Eric, Ordinary Seaman, D/SSX 20700, MPK

Looking forward to the result of your project.

Thanks, that is a great help and now I know why the Navy have no record of him after the 28th of Feb 1942.  He certainly was on a number of different ships during that time according to his records.

Hi Phil, How did you go with your 'digging" to see if Eric was on Anking when it was torpedoed?  I think he would have been on it, as his records state he was 'lent' to the Anking until 28th Feb 1942, and as Singapore fell on 15th Feb I would be curious to know how he got back to Singapore and why.  Thank you for your help.

Hi Phil,

Eric's memorial states Sultan, but this is his pay station.  He was on Tenedos, but he was lent to FSA and DSA (I do not know what this means) and he was lent to Anking 26/1/42 to 28/2/42.  The last date for Eric on the Navy Ledger was 28/2/1942 and they are unable to locate him after the 28/2/42, that is why I am wondering if he was on the Anking when torpedoed.  They have noted Presumed D.D 31st March 1942 HMS Sultan (Batavia) on war service.
Mum thought he was captured, escaped, caught then killed but I have not been able to verify this.
It would be nice to have more correct information.

Thanks

I am trying to find info on my Uncle who possibly was on HMS Anking when she was sunk.  Do you know if there is a list of the crew at the time of her sinking.  I am not sure if he survived the sinking and taken captive by the Japanese.  Any info you may be able to assist me with would be appreciated.
