World War 11 Casualties

If you could spare a few dollars to help with the running costs of this website would be very much appreciated. Thank you from Gravesites of Tasmania.

Sharman Ivan Stanley

Born 23 June 1918 Smithton Tasmania to Isaiah and Harriet Sharman (nee Wigg)

Able Seaman Sharman was living and working at Marrawah Tasmania when he enlisted in the RAN. 

He was a crew member of H.M.A.S. Australia which on the afternoon of the 5^th January 1945 was hit by kamikazes as they targeted the ship time and time again. The results were devastating – 25 killed and 30 seriously injured.

Please note that there might be information from other websites or brochures "reprinted" here- under the laws of "fair use". In every instance -we hope- we have provided a direct link to the owners web site. We do not claim rights or ownership to any of their information. We do thank them sincerely for their efforts. We have in every instance made a good faith effort to contact and request 'reprint' permission. Nonetheless, we do want to be certain that nothing gets lost due to web site disappearance and the like, so it appears duplicated here.
