RAN Involvement in the Korean War

[Dvine]

I am currently reading "The Korean War" by Cameron Forbes (which is an excellent book by the way), and was wondering if anyone knows if there are any books out there that detail the RAN's involvement in this war. I've seen lots of books about the RAN in the two world wars and Vietnam, but none on Korea.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

There is a good, if relatively brief, account of the RAN's involvement in the Korean War in Colin Jones' "Wings and the Navy 1947-1953".

These are quite large pdf files so downloading may take some time. I hope you find them worthwhile.

Thanks for those links Rob, my old ship was mentioned . There may have been a war going on, but also, there were some good runs ashore.
