sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/06/2012 05:26 am My Grandfather would havre appreciated a memorial medal for the blowing up of four of his prize chooks by a Japanese submarine! He died way back in 1964, but in 1942, he was living in Vaucluse, Sydney. A shell from a Japanese sumbarine exploded in a nearby neighbour's backyard as a diversion to the raid in Sydney Harbour by Japanese midget submarines. His chookyard was showered by shrapnel, and killed four of his prize chooks. According to his daughter (my mum), boy was he MAD! Before WW2, you could have chooks in Vaucluse, nowhere near as exclusive as it is now. He considered suing the Japanese government after the War for compensation! Report this Post to the Staff
