'Fighting Voices from Downunder' www.radioheritage.net/story197.asp is an important review of Australian and New Zealand military radio covering the conflicts from World War 2 through to Vietnam. 'ANZAC Day Salute' www.radioheritage.net/story105.asp features some of the broadcasters and stations familiar to Australian and New Zealand forces. 'Australian WWII Pacific Radio' www.radioheritage.net/story69.asp takes a detailed look at the network of radio stations across the western Pacific, Papua and New Guinea, Netherlands East Indies and the Straits Settlements that broadcast entertainment and information for Australian forces. 'This is Station WLKT Miho' www.radioheritage.net/story246.asp is a rare recollection of broadcasting in occupied Japan from one of the mobile radio trucks that was shipped from Australia in late 1945. The US Armed Forces Radio stations played a major role in introducing radio broadcasting to much of the Pacific and a large collection of features about AFRS stations can be found at www.radioheritage.com as well. AFRS broadcasts were also heard from 1ZM Auckland [NZ] and 4QR Brisbane [Australia] during World War 2 and both Australian [WLKS Kure] and New Zealand [AKAA Yamaguchi] were amongst the ANZAC military stations broadcasting in occupied Japan in close co-operation with AFRS. On this day of reflection, the Radio Heritage Foundation thanks all those who have contributed their personal stories, photos and audio collections from times of conflict so that they can be remembered at www.radioheritage.com.
