Crace, Rear Admiral Commanding the Australian Squadron was the officer sent to Fremantle on 30 November by the Chief of Naval Staff to take overall responsibility for the interrogations. This letter to Crace from an interrogation officer whose signature is indistinct (possibly that of Commander Ramage, the senior naval intelligence officer in Western Australia), reflects a view of the events not apparent in other official accounts. NAA: K997, 1/15/2 – HMAS Sydney/Kormoran action, November 1941.
