H.M.A.S. Parramatta (II)Print Page

The right hand window, The Guiding Hand was erected as a memorial to HMAS Parramatta (II) and her crew who were torpedoed by a German submarine during World War Two. The window is part of a three-light window in the south wall of the chapel. 

HMAS Parramatta (U44) was a Grimsby class sloop of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Built during the late 1930s, Parramatta operated in the Red Sea and Mediterranean during World War II. The sloop was torpedoed by the German submarine U-559 on 27 November 1941, and sank with 138 of the 162 aboard.
