Today, remembers the 645 lives lost when HMAS Sydney II was sunk by the German raider Kormoran.

On this day in 1941 HMAS Sydney met the German raider Kormoran, disguised as a Dutch ship.

After Sydney got close, Kormoran struck by surprise erupting into a conflict that sunk both ships.

For decades, the mystery remained because of unanswered questions, and a wreck too deep to find.

Finally, on 16 March 2008, modern technology uncovered both wrecks about 100 nautical miles off Western Australia.

As Christmas is nearly upon us, once again I’m getting requests for my Brandy Christmas Cake recipe so here goes.

Please keep it in your files as I am beginning to get tired of typing this up every year. I made mine at the weekend.

Ingredients
1 cup sugar, 1 tsp. baking powder, 1 cup water, 1 tsp. salt , 1 cup brown sugar, Lemon juice, 4 large eggs, Nuts, 2 cups dried fruit, probably some other bits
And 1 decent bottle of French Brandy

Before you start
Sample the Brandy to check quality 😃

Take a large bowl, check the Brandy again to be sure it is of the highest quality then repeat (because it’s Christmas) 👍👍

Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point, it is best to make sure the Brandy is still OK.
Try another cup just in case.

Turn off the mixerer thingy.
Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor, wash it and put it in the bowl a piece at a time trying to count it. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver Sample the Brandy to test for tonsisticity.

Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something.
Check the Brandy.
Now shift or som’ert the lemon juice and strain your nuts. …….Add one table.
Put in a spoon of sugar, or somefink, whatever you can find. Greash the oven …..all of it I think.

Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner thing…… what? Finally, don’t pour the mix into the washing machine and throw the bowl through the window. Finish the Brandy and wipe the counter with the cat, before passing out……

DID YOU KNOW? The "Ode of Remembrance" is the fourth stanza of the poem "For the Fallen" by English poet and writer Laurence Binyon (1869–1943) which was first published in The Times in September 1914.

For the Fallen
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal,
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation,
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables at home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England’s foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

Laurence Binyon (1869 – 1943)
