Can anyone help with information on any family members who may have returned to Yugoslavia on two ship that were chartered by Marshall Tito just after WW2 to repatriate the people of Yugoslavia back to their home country.
However, most of them after a short period wanted to return to Australia. Dr Criena Fitzgerald is trying to find family stories of these people to include in her upcoming book on the ‘Italian and Slavs on the Goldfields of Western Australia’.
They are the :-
Partizanka in 1947 and then again in 1948
The Partizanka
and
The Radnick in 1948
Leave a Tip!
If you would like to support my work sharing stories of the Western Australian Goldfields, a small tip – starting at just $2 – would mean a great deal. You're welcome to give more if you feel inclined.
Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps me continue researching and preserving these important stories for future generations. Your generosity supports the ongoing costs of running the website. Thank you so much.
