The Kokoda Track campaign is remembered for how our diggers fought the 
enemy in the jungles of Papua New Guinea, and in doing so during WWII 
helped save Australia. 
Through VK100ANZAC on Monday July 27, Vince Henderson VK7VH of Hobart 
will commemorate the battle that claimed the lives of 625 Australians 
and wounded over 1,000 people.

In addition, VK100ANZAC will play short Kokoda Track veterans’ interviews. 
Meantime, the Eastern and Mountain District Radio Club is now using 
VI3ANZAC to also commemorate the Kokoda Track Battle. 
The Waverley Amateur Radio Society on Saturday August 1 commemorates 
the 2nd Australian Division Signals Company raised at Heliopolis, 
Cairo, with its No. 2 Section landing at the Dardanelles on August 20, 1915. 
It saw action in communications support of the Battle of Hill 60, 
the last major assault of the Gallipoli Campaign prior to the evacuation 
in December that year.

The 2nd Australian Division Signals Company also was on the Western Front 
in France and Belgium from 1916-1918. 
A descendant of the 2nd Australian Division Signals Company is based at 
Randwick in Sydney’s inner eastern Suburbs. 
The Waverley Amateur Radio Society from its Rose Bay Scout Hall club rooms 
will activate VK100ANZAC next Saturday August the 1st, 
until Wednesday 5th (UTC), on 40m, 20m, plus Echolink and D-STAR.

It starts with a message from The Honourable Malcolm Turnbull MP, 
Member for Wentworth and Minister for Communications.

Full details of the ANZAC 100 program can be found on the WIA website.
