About Walter Herbert Schache

Walter joined the RAN in 1919 and served in the Navy until his death aboard the cruiser HMAS Sydney in November 1941. He rose to the rank of Chief Petty Officer - Cook during his 22 year service.

Walter's sons Douglas and Leonard both joined the RAAF as soon as they reached entry age during WWII.

Leonard tragically died after a traffic accident in Melbourne in 1951. His older brother Douglas married but had no children. Douglas was an avid supporter of the " Find the Sydney" Foundation - he donated quite a considerable amount of money for that fund. Sadly, he died a few years before the wreck of HMAS Sydney was finally located.
