Hello.
 
HMAS Warramunga an Australian built Tribal class destroyer was present in Tokyo Bay for the Japanese surrender on Sunday September 2 1945, as I was in the cruiser HMAS Shropshire.

I suggest that WW Moore was serving in Warramunga at that time had been ashore called in at the school and signed the book then.

Here is a picture of Warramunga:

I served in her post WW2.
