Wednesday 2 April 2014 - David Howell and Reg Yates

Following a telegram from Britain a few days after the outbreak of war in 1914, the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force (ANMEF) captured the German wireless station at Bita Paka in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. The Shrine’s David Howell will be joined by Reg Yates who recently uncovered the original foundations of this wireless station. Together, they discuss this important but little known campaign of the First World War.
