| | Update on Savo Island |
 | | At the time of Savo, Bruce Loxton was the Captain's Midshipman on Canberra's bridge, he was severely wounded and, I did not think he could survive, but he did, to complete a distinguished Naval career, and retire as a Commodore. |
 | | As most of the RAN's records about Savo were housed in archives in Melbourne, I did a good deal of research for Bruce here in Melbourne. |
 | | In "The Shame of Savo", Bruce Loxton, with track charts, using both Bagley's and Canberra's turning circles, the position of Bagley, on our starboard side, the timing of her firing her torpedoes etc, mounts a compelling argument for one of Bagley's torpedoes finding us. |
