English: Collection relating to the Second World War service of H1617 Ordinary Seaman Edward (Teddy) Sheean, Royal Australian Navy, Hobart, c. June — December 1941.
Collection contains one undated letter from Sheean to his mother, the contents of which suggest was written whilst he was posted to HMAS Derwent in Hobart for initial training in 1941. In the letter Sheean speculates on the date of his embarkation to mainland Australia or service overseas, and reassures his mother that he and his brothers will return from their service. He goes on to enquire about the well-being of family members and notes he is unlikely to visit his hometown of Latrobe to see brother Thomas (Mick) Sheean before the latter embarks for service. The collection also includes a label attached to the back of the frame in which the abovementioned letter was housed. The label states «This letter has been kept lovingly by Teddy's sister Ivy Hayes, who passed away 2nd September 2004, aged 95. It was her wish that it be given to the HMAS Sheean for safe keeping.». This letter is believed to be the last letter written by Sheean. |
