HMAS Sydney II: The Cruiser and the Controversy in the archives of the United Kingdom (2001) By Peter Hore
 
In 2000/2001 Captain Peter Hore RN (rtd) conducted a search of various British Archives in an attempt to locate certain documents relating to the loss of HMAS Sydney (II). In particular, he was tasked to address the following specific questions raised in the March 1999 Report on the Loss of HMAS Sydney by the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade:
 
that a search be undertaken by the Australian Government at the Public Record Office in London for any records of a court or board of inquiry report into the loss of HMAS Sydney? (Recommendation 2)
that the Australian Government continue inquiries to determine if, within the records of the Public Record Office London, there are any records relating to a coronial inquiry undertaken on Christmas Island on the unknown sailor? (Recommendation 4)
 
The results of these investigations were published by the Sea Power Centre - Australia in 2001 as 'Papers in Australian Maritime Affairs No 9: HMAS Sydney (II) - The Cruiser and the Controversy in the Archives of the United Kingdom'.
