Here in New Zealand we're less than 24 hours from ANZAC Day, the day when
jointly with our mates across the pond in Australia, we remember those who
served in various conflicts around the world.
We've put together some
radio memory features you might enjoy:
* www.radioheritage.net/Story69.asp looks at Diggers On Air, the
stations run by the Australians in the South West Pacific and Japan in WWII and
has many rare images
* www.radioheritage.net/story105.asp was
first released in 2007 to commemorate ANZAC Day and remains just as relevant 9
years later
* www.radioheritage.net/story 197.asp is Fighting
Voices from Downunder and covers conflicts in Korea, Malaya and Vietnam as well
as those of WWII
The Radio Heritage Foundation also has rare stories and
images of British forces radio in Japan, Dutch East Indies [mow Indonesia],
Malaya [now Singapore and Malaysia] and Ceylon [now Sri Lanka] and US Armed
Forces Radio throughout the Pacific, Japan, Alaska and found at www.radioheritage.net
Come and
visit us this weekend as we showcase our ANZAC stories and share these radio
memories with you in memory of ANZAC Day April 25
