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
The following two tabs change content below.
