My Dad Jack was also on the ship and ended up in Australia, married another Dutch compatriot and went on to have eight children. I am the eldest and am now living in the UK. What a small world. i have just been on the phone to one of my sisters in Australia and we have been doing a simultaneous search on the web. best wishes Jackie French Very interested in your excerpt of the sinking of the Tjinegara.

The Ship was sunk by the Japanese submarine I-169. It and its crew were later lost in Truk in 1944.
