Words From Our Navy Veterans - Panel Discussion

Recorded  Wednesday 9 Aug 2017.

Meet some of our last surviving Second World War navy veterans Jim Paizis, Norm Tame, Hiram Ristrom, Ray Leonard and Pamela Nicholls of the WRANS as they recount tales of their service. From taking part in the Battle of Coral Sea to decoding and encoding war-winning intelligence, these vets reflect upon their time at sea. Chaired by Shrine Trustee Tracey Curro.

This talk was part of a series of programs in support of the Shrine’s special exhibition Nerves and Steel: The Royal Australian Navy in the Pacific 1941–45. Nerve and Steel is on display until July 2018 and can be viewed daily (excluding Christmas and Good Friday) from 10am until close (last entry at 4.30pm).
