 | | Leaving Australia in February 1941, barely one month after her commissioning, HMAS LISMORE steamed to Singapore, where she provided anti-submarine patrols outside the harbour before proceeding on to the Red Sea to become part of the Red Sea Force which was responsible for blockading the coast of French Somaliland. |
 | | In 1943, HMAS LISMORE was summoned to the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet to participate in "Operation Husky", the invasion of Sicily, the first major assault on German occupied Europe. |
 | | The town became a city, HMAS LISMORE became a memory, her crew became HMAS Lismore Association and its members, in diminishing numbers because of the ravages of age and illness, continue to make an annual pilgrimage to Lismore every Anzac Day from all parts of Australia. |
