Jan Grosvenor: Life with David Whiteman

Posted on: Mon 11 Feb 2019

Jan very generously shares her memories of life with David, including how after his death she and Vicki Crowley visited the little town of Strahan in Tasmania, where David’s ship HMAS Strahan had visited in 1945. It was there that HMAS Strahan suffered its only fatal casualty of the era.
