The bravery of Solomon Islanders under Australian command during World War II has finally been recognised with a memorial in Honiara.

Their service to the Allies was credited with helping turning the war in the Pacific against the Japanese.

But while they've been acknowledged at home, the last of the Solomon Island veterans feel they've been forgotten by Australia.

Stefan Armbruster reports from Honiara.
