Hope Hornby was just a child when her father Arthur Hadley returned from World War II, having survived the wrecking of HMAS Perth (I) followed by years of hardship in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. In this poignant discussion, Hope shares her insights as the descendant of a WWII veteran, and the impact HMAS Perth (I) and World War II had on her family. 

Hosted by Dr Natali Pearson, The University of Sydney.
