Also on display will be storyboards outlining the sequence of events that threatened Australia’s survival, including the details of the numerous bombings conducted by the Japanese Imperial Forces against Australia.
“When viewed in its entirety, the vast collection of artefacts and visual aids assist in telling the story of these brave Australians who defended our coastline during the Second World War,” Mr Edman said.
“I would encourage anyone who is interested, to visit the exhibit over the ANZAC Day week and see firsthand how our soldiers, steadfast in the idea that Australia would not fall, sacrificed so much so that our future could be secured.”
