SOUTH KOREA: KOREAN WAR VETERANS: AUSTRALIANS
English/Nat
Fifty years after North Korea attacked the South, Korean War veterans from Australia, Asia, the United States and elsewhere have been gathering at former battlegrounds to remember.
Canberra was one of the government which sent soldiers to support the United Nations forces who helped fight the Communist forces from North Korea in the 1950s conflict.
The war lasted three years, cost (M) millions of lives and left the small peninsula nation divided.
But because it fell between World War II and Vietnam, it became known as the Forgotten War.
Among those taking part in remembrance ceremonies was a contingent of Australian veterans, most of them now in their 70s.
The former soldiers expressed satisfaction that their efforts resulted in a modern, prosperous Korean society.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
We were together fighting the threat of communism and to this day we are still supporting South Korea and we look forward to the time when peace will finally be declared after 50 years.
SUPER CAPTION: Commodore Alan Dollard
SOUNDBITE: (English)
So I was a professional soldier.I knew exactly what I was doing, why I was doing it and it was my pleasure to come here. And I wasn't dragged away kicking and screaming like some people who had been trotted off to Vietnam. But this was the permanent army soldiers and no regrets. I got wounded, all part of growing up, but no regrets.
SUPER CAPTION: War veteran Bill Hall
As the veterans reminisced, revisited old battle sites and peered across the Military Demarcation Line to communist North Korea, official celebrations for Sunday's anniversary were muted.
Both Koreas are seeking small but symbolic ways to begin repairing five decades of enmity.
During last week's historic inter-Korean summit, North Korean leader Kim Jong Il announced that he had cancelled war anniversary celebrations.
The South cancelled its military parade and battle reenactments as well earlier this week.
Even at the truce village of Panmunjom along the world's most heavily fortified border, propaganda broadcasts that earlier pierced the countryside quiet were halted.
However in the capital of Seoul, hundreds of uniformed veterans saluted the dead at the National Cemetery.
They prayed, burned incense and laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the most prominent monument in the vast cemetery where 50-thousand Korean War dead are buried.

Visit to the Australian War Memorial
The Australian War Memorial is Australia's national memorial to the members of its armed forces and supporting organisations who have died or participated in wars involving the Commonwealth of Australia. The memorial includes an extensive national military museum. The Australian War Memorial was opened in 1941, and is widely regarded as one of the most significant memorials of its type in the world.
The Memorial is located in Australia's capital, Canberra. It is the north terminus of the city's ceremonial land axis, which stretches from Parliament House on Capital Hill along a line passing through the summit of the cone-shaped Mount Ainslie to the northeast. No continuous roadway links the two points, but there is a clear line of sight from the front balcony of Parliament House to the War Memorial, and from the front steps of the War Memorial back to Parliament House.
The Australian War Memorial consists of three parts: the Commemorative Area (shrine) including the Hall of Memory with the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier, the Memorial's galleries (museum) and Research Centre (records). The Memorial also has an outdoor Sculpture Garden. The Memorial is currently open daily from 10am until 5pm, except on Christmas Day.

Canberra Tour guide (Day Trip)
1. War memorial
2. Parliament House
The Australian War Memorial is Australia's national memorial to the members of its armed forces and supporting organisations who have died or participated in wars involving the Commonwealth of Australia, and some conflicts involving personnel from the Australian colonies prior to Federation. The memorial includes an extensive national military museum. The Memorial was opened in 1941, and is widely regarded as one of the most significant memorials of its type in the world and was voted the number one landmark in Australia by travellers in the 2016 Trip Advisor awards.
The Memorial is located in Australia's capital, Canberra. It is the north terminus of the city's ceremonial land axis, which stretches from Parliament House on Capital Hill along a line passing through the summit of the cone-shaped Mount Ainslie to the northeast. No continuous roadway links the two points, but there is a clear line of sight from the front balcony of Parliament House to the War Memorial, and from the front steps of the War Memorial back to Parliament House.
The Australian War Memorial consists of three parts: the Commemorative Area (shrine) including the Hall of Memory with the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier, the Memorial's galleries (museum) and Research Centre (records).
The Memorial is a two-storey building with a floor plan in the shape of a Byzantine cross.
The upper level is dedicated primarily to World War I (the entire west wing) and World War II (the entire east wing). The World War I gallery, is arrayed in chronological order from the start of Australia's involvement in the war. The first two sections of the Gallery relate extensively to the Gallipoli campaign. The World War I gallery was redeveloped in 2014 for the Centenary of the First World War, and was reopened in November 2014. Between the wings lies Aircraft Hall, which contains a number of complete aircraft, encompassing air power in the Pacific and contains aircraft mostly from the World War II era including a restored Japanese A6M Zero, that was flown in combat over New Guinea.
At the 'heart' of the building resides the Hall of Valour, a display of 76 of the 100 Victoria Crosses awarded to Australian soldiers; the largest publicly held collection of Victoria Crosses in the world.[6] The gallery is built to resemble a Victoria Cross with the left hand side dedicated to the WW1 VC recipients, and the right to the WW2, Vietnam and Afghanistan. The Collection has on display the first and last Imperial VC's and all four of the VC's awarded under the Australian Award System. There is an individual display for the holder of each Cross shown there, with a photograph, an excerpt from the citation that accompanied the award, and usually additional medals awarded to that recipient. The relatives of Australian VC holders often donate or loan the Crosses to the Memorial for safekeeping and greater public awareness of their honoured kin. Architecturally the centre of the Hall of Valour is positioned directly under the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier.
The lower level contains the Afghanistan: Australia's Story Gallery which currently is the sole audio-visual Gallery in the Memorial, a research area, a gallery for Colonial and Pre-Federation Conflicts including the War in Sudan, the Boxer Rebellion and the Boer War, and the Conflicts: Post 1945 to Today, Cold War Gallery comprising exhibits for the Korean War, the conflicts in Malaya and Indonesia and the Vietnam War. This section also encompasses the Peacekeeping Gallery and exhibits dedicated to both Gulf Wars. It also has an area for temporary special exhibitions.
ANZAC Hall is a large annexe to the upper level of the Memorial, used for the display of large military hardware.
The building is large and the collections are extensive; a full day will suffice for only the most cursory examination of its contents, the conservative estimate is a minimum of three days is required to see every single item on display gallery item to gain any recollection.
A gift shop and two coffee shops are on site, one overlooking ANZAC Hall, named The Landing Place, and the other on the east side of the main building, named Poppy's Cafe.
Parliament House is the meeting place of the Parliament of Australia, located in Canberra, the capital city of Australia.It was opened on 9 May 1988 by Queen Elizabeth II.
Parliament House contains 4,700 rooms, and many areas are open to the public. The main foyer contains a marble staircase and leads to the Great Hall, which has a large tapestry on display. The House of Representatives chamber is decorated green, while the Senate chamber has a red colour scheme. Between the two chambers is the Members' Hall, which has a water feature and is not open to the public. The Ministerial Wing houses the office of the prime minister and other ministers.

Return to Anjo: revisiting Truscott, Australia's secret WWII airbase
Documentary film maker Dr David Smith and his father, searchlight operator Gordon Smith of the 67th AASL, visit RAAF Landing Ground Truscott for the 50th Anniversary of the completion of Australia’s secret World War II airbase. Truscott was a crucial departure point for heavy bombers making sorties over South-East Asia in the final months of the war. It was also critical in the defence of Australia following the extended bombing of Darwin from the 19th of February, 1942.
A grim feature of the base is the remarkably preserved wreckage of Liberator A72-160 which crashed on take-off, killing all of the crew. Pilot Frank Sismey’s wife, Enid, was pregnant at the time with their daughter, Helen. Helen Sismey, now Helen Brown, was tracked down just two weeks before the reunion and joined the more than seventy veterans and their families at the reunion in May 1994.
Remade using digital technology, Return to Anjo includes spectacular helicopter aerials and computer simulations of key events including Squadron Leader Keith ‘Bluey’ Truscott’s last flight, as well as the crashes of Liberators A72-160 and
A72-80. David and his father explore the rusty remains of the base together. Helen confronts the wreckage of the aircraft in which the father she never knew perished.
“A masterpiece of historical significance...
...destined for the Australian National Archives.”

Australian War Memorial, Award of Merit 2016 IALD Lighting Design Awards
The Australian War Memorial in Canberra, Australia, with lighting design by Steensen Varming, took home an IALD Award of Merit, accepted in person by lead designer Mirjam Roos, Associate IALD.
Positioned just across from the nation’s Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial is enhanced by a powerful lighting scheme that strikes a balance between subtle and commemorative lighting languages, exhibits respect for the building’s narrative, and dramatically highlights the memorial’s position as one of the world’s great national monuments. Based on a holistic masterplan, the scheme emphasizes the building’s sculptural form through light and shade with a commanding hierarchy comprehensible from all sides. The team’s design choices reinforce the importance of the building’s memorial hall, while embracing building features and statues as visual anchors.
“This is quiet, respectful, focused lighting, with just enough to aid visibility after dark,” said one judge.
Utilizing concealed sources, the lighting designers from Steensen Varming applied light to radiate from the inside out, coming through stained glass windows, the gate, and other openings, symbolizing the heart of the building and creating a night time image to emphasize the space’s meaning. The importance of the dome is intensified by lighting – precisely aimed and with careful beam control – that enhances shape and material through striking contrast at night time and making a respectful impression even when competing with daylight.
The inner courtyard houses the Roll of Honour, featuring engraved names of the fallen. Names projected in light on the façade create a personal and intimate connection for visitors who have sent loved ones to war. The Eternal Flame’s warm glow is balanced by sensitively adjusted lighting levels, bathing the courtyard in a soft uniform glow from within cloistered walkways.
“Sensitive use of low light levels throughout the project consciously welcome darkness as a part of the composition,” another judge observed, “allowing the space’s solemnity to be clearly understood.”
Mounting details allowed for access and satisfied stringent heritage and architectural requirements for integration. While making a minimal impact on the building fabric, the final positioning achieved optimal light distribution and conceptual integrity.
