| Summary |
This book is based on the window titled Independence. The window features a naval captain with a gyro compass, a navigation device that enables a ship to maintain a steady course. He represents the stability and steadfastness displayed by those who have served in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). This book contains stories about and images of people who have served in the RAN. It is about their experiences, determination, resilience and commitment, overcoming challenges and withstanding adversity to achieve common goals. The book contains a map to illustrate where each story took place. It also contains a glossary to explain the mean of unfamiliar words. |
