AMC/LSI Association of Victoria
|
| Navy Descendants’
Association has changed its name to AMC/LSI Association of Victoria. |
| You may be wondering AMC/LSI
represents. The answer is simple. Originally a number of
descendants of the HMAS WESTRALIA wanted to form an
association to ensure the memory of relatives who served on
the Westralia. We felt as descendants of navy personnel it
would be appropriate to name the association “Navy
Descendants”. We then met with the NCCV where it became
apparent that we needed to reduce the scope of the ships we
would be representing and thus we chose AMC/LSI Association
of Victoria. AMC/LSI stands for Armed Merchant
Cruisers/Landing Ship Infantry. Our association represents
veterans, descendants and serving members of HMAS WESTRALIA,
KANIMBLA, MANOORA and ASSAULT. We are a not-for-profit group made up
of volunteers who would welcome the input and support from
others who wish to help carry and develop our aspirations in
the name of those gone before us. If you would like to
contribute in any way to support our endeavours, please
don’t hesitate to email us at: amclsivic@gmail.com |
To always be faithful and bold
To the very end and beyond
In whatever sea we may be.
Lest we will never forget our friends,
shipmates and Navy old or new
for our love of them has always been true.
For we are the very few who knew
MANOORA, WESTRALIA & KANIMBLA
And the men who sailed with all of
Them to the very end of WWII.
