ANZAC Radio Heritage 2011
Fighting Voices from
Downunder
____________________________  Radio was still a teenager when called up for active duty in 1939
with the outbreak of World War II but had moved into respectable
middle age by 1970 when the Vietnam War was raging says the Radio
Heritage Foundation in the latest feature at website www.radioheritage.com.  Released to remember ANZAC Day on April 25 2011, this new feature
looks at how Australian and New Zealand military forces took radio
along with them on their journey to battlefields as far flung as the
Middle East, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, South East Asia, the Pacific, and
even within Australia's Northern Territory. "Fighting Voices from Downunder' visits the extensive ABC Radio
facilities at Gaza in Palestine, RAAF Madang 'The Voice of the
Islands', 5DR Darwin, 9AF Labuan in the Straits Settlements, AKAA
Yamaguchi 'Voice of the 2NZEF', WLKS Kure, Radio Commonwealth near
the North Korean border, RAAF Butterworth and AFR Vung Tau. This new feature places ANZAC Radio into context with US Armed Forces
Radio networks in the Asia and Pacific region, and British Forces
Broadcasting and Radio SEAC services. There are extensive links and references to nearly 40 other AFRS and
related features throughout www.radioheritage.com. Illustrations from
the Australian War Memorial collections accompany the feature, as
well as a previously unseen photo from New Zealand station AKAA.  If you have your own memories, memorabilia and more you'd like to
share about ANZAC Radio or any of the other stations featured, Radio
Heritage Foundation wants to hear from you. It may be some old photos, booklets, newspaper or magazine articles
or even some recordings. Memories of listening to ANZAC Radio over
the years are also important and wanted because they help people
understand the important role played by ANZAC Radio stations over
several generations. The Radio Heritage Foundation is a registered non-profit organization
connecting popular culture nostalgia and radio heritage across the
Pacific and its website is www.radioheritage.com where full contact
details can be found. Email: info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Suggested annual supporter donations of A$50 are welcome to help
continue ongoing radio heritage projects including those connected
with ANZAC Radio. Donations can be made by creditcard at www.radioheritage.com.
