Today we remember the sinking of Australian Hospital Ship (AHS) Centaur, which was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine off the Queensland coast on this day in 1943. Bound for Port Moresby, the shipโ€™s passengers included Royal Australian Navy crew, members of the 2/12th Field Ambulance and civilian nurses and doctors. Of the 332 people on board at the time of the attack, only 64 of them survived.

The 2/12th Field Ambulance was practically wiped out in the sinking, and Sister Ellen Savage was the only surviving nurse. She provided medical care to other survivors despite being badly injured herself and was later awarded the George Medal.

Few disasters during World War II impacted Australians as deeply as the loss of the Centaur. Its sinking caused widespread outrage and became a symbol of Australiaโ€™s determination to continue fighting the war.

RIP

The RSL extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Warrant Officer Class Two Lachlan Muddle, a Special Air Service Regiment soldier fatally injured during a parachuting training course at Jervis Bay Airfield on 11 May 2026.

RSL National President, Peter Tinley AM, said: "Every Australian who puts on a uniform accepts a level of sacrifice that most of us will never be asked to make. WO2 Muddle was training to serve and protect our country, and that commitment deserves our deepest respect and gratitude. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and fellow soldiers at this incredibly difficult time."

One other soldier was injured in the incident but did not require hospitalisation. We wish them a full and swift recovery.

The RSL stands ready to support veterans and their families through these difficult times.

If anyone in the veteran community needs support, please reach out to Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling on 1800 011 046 or Lifeline crisis support on 13 11 14.
