Please forgive this post which may not belong here, but I do not know where else to try. It is military but certainly not aviation related.

My brother-in-law served in the Royal Australia Navy in Oberon class submarines. I know very little of his service details.

He passed away recently and I would like to give any shipmates notification of his passing, and a chance to pay their respects.

Can anyone tell me please where to post a notice? I have contacted the Submarine Association of Australia. Any other suggestions?

Adrian,

Department of Veterans' Affairs (http://www.dva.gov.au/)

May be a good start, I am south-side Canberra and I know there is an office in Woden opposite the plaza, i assume there are others.

If he was in the RSL, then that'd be a good place to make enquiries...

Thank you.

Skeleton, I will try DVA.

Buster, I think he travelled around too much to belong to anything, but I will see the RSL.

I have managed to gain access to a RAN facebook page and a notice will appear there soon.

Fair enough. It's not for everyone. Good luck! :ok:
