being declared for the Battle for Australia, the story of the men and women who served on Australia’s coastal defence to protect the nation, is an aspect of the war that has been overlooked. The Hon Phil Edman MLC has been working to see recognition of this forgotten battlefield and is featured in this short film with Veteran Gunners Mr Peter Hackett and Mrs Veronica Roach.

This log was microfilmed by the Australian Archives and made available in the Public Domain in October 1989. With the help of Mr E.S. Trigwell (Trig), formerly a wireless operator and navigator aboard Lockheed Hudson bombers during WWII operating out of the RAAF Richmond Airbase in Victoria, the jargon of signals operations was explained.
Matters relating to the wreck of the HSK Kormoran, an attack on the SS Siantar, SS Narbada and SS Tongariro and the bombing of the USS Sargo are mentioned.
