Hi Keith,
tried last night to find out about kalinga. There was a
town site there , but no info or leads, so found place where he was born. Manilla in NSW. They had a good page with many links.
Sent off short email to one section requesting any info on relatives. Ross Charles Cole had put down his father as next of kin. Did you know he signed up only the year before ? 24! Way too young to die like so many others. I hope to hear back from them in Manilla soon . shall keep you posted .
All the best . shereden.( Australian Associate ).
Remembered with honour

NEWS.
G, Day Keith,
I was in Queenscliff a couple of Sundays ago and on the prom there are a number of plaques dedicated to Australian ships that perished, the Tregenna is one of them.
Not quite sure where you can start to look for information but there is a very good historical society in Port Melbourne that may be able to point you in the right direction. Not sure of their e-mail address as I go in to the centre but if you 'Google' Port Melbourne Historical Society I think you will find them, good luck.. happy daze.
