The fund had been set up to honour those who died when the Centaur, a World War 2 hospital ship, was torpedoed off the South Queensland coast by a Japanese submarine on 14 May 1943. Only 64 of the 332 people on board survived. The fund was used to provide scholarships to Queensland nurses to assist with their training.
