For anyone interested: ----- ANZAC Day 2007 Radio Salute __________________________
The Radio Heritage Foundation [ www.radioheritage.net ] has released it's ANZAC Day Radio Salute for 2007. [note: ANZAC Day is the shared Australia & New Zealand war memorial day held on April 25] This year, it's a photo gallery of the various Australian Army Amenities Service radio stations that served listeners throughout the South West Pacific in 1945, as well as the NZ National Broadcasting Service Mobile Recording Units based in the Middle East and the Pacific. Popular radio announcers from the ABC, NZBS and Australian commercial radio stations served at these units, entertaining troops with music, news and sports and taking their voices back home. Stations such as 9AC Torokina [Bougainville] were heard by many. Returned servicemen who were involved with these entertainment units, who have memories of listening to them, or who served with radio communications units are invited to contact the Radio Heritage Foundation. Also at www.radioheritage.net you'll find a full list of these AAAS stations in the article 'Diggers On Air', as well as lots of information about the US Armed Forces Radio stations from the Jungle Network, China-Burma-India theater, Japan and Alaska. Many of these were also familiar listening to ANZAC forces in the SW Pacific and elsewhere [such as Japan], as well as the Mosquito Network stations such as WVUS New Caledonia and 1ZM Auckland....and you'll easily find items on many of these stations at the website. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered charity protecting old radio memorabilia and sharing stories about Pacific radio. In coming months, watch out for Ulric Williams story of setting up the NZ Radio Station AKAA in Japan, as well as items about the more recent Armed Forces Korea Network, and the popular Armed Forces Vietnam Network. Please let your readers know about the ANZAC Day 2007 Radio Salute and invite them to visit www.radioheritage.net to find out more. We're grateful to the editorial team at 'Stand To' - National Newspaper of the Australian RSL [Returned Services League] for their coverage of our activities in their February-March 2007 issue.
