As a junior aircraft technician, V. Sokurenko was sent to the military unit no. 8690 in Baku, and later to Maradnyany for further military service in the USSR Air Force.

Sokurenko played an important role in initiating the study of an important discipline at the Faculty of Law of the Lviv University – History of Political and Legal Studies, which has been studying the history of the emergence and development of theoretical knowledge about politics, state, law, ie the process of cognition by people of the phenomena of politics, state and law at different stages of history in different nations, from early statehood and modernity. Professor V. Sokurenko actively researched the problems of the theory of state and law, the history of Ukrainian legal and political thought. He was one of the first legal scholars in the USSR to begin research on the basics of legal deontology. V. Sokurenko conducted extensive research on the development of basic requirements for the professional and legal responsibilities of a lawyer, similar to the requirements for a doctor. In further research, the scholar analyzed the legal responsibilities, prospects for the development of the basics of professional deontology. In addition, he considered medical deontology from the standpoint of a lawyer, law and morality, focusing on internal (spiritual) processes, calling them «the spirit of law.» The main direction of V. Sokurenko's research was the problems of the theory of state and law, the history of legal and political studies. The main scientific works of professor V. Sokurenko include: «The main directions in the development of progressive state and legal thought in Ukraine: 16th – 19th centuries» (1958) (Russian), «Democratic doctrines about the state and law in Ukraine in the second half of the 19th century (M.

V. Sokurenko died on November 22, 1994 and was buried in Holoskivskyi Cemetery in Lviv. Volodymyr Sokurenko left a bright memory in the hearts of a wide range of scholars, colleagues and grateful students. The 100th anniversary of the Scholar is a splendid opportunity to once again draw attention to the rich scientific heritage of the lawyer, which is an integral part of the golden fund of Ukrainian legal science and education. It needs to be studied, taken into account and further developed.

This dissertation explores the anomaly of Horn Island, Torres Strait, being classified a non -operational area during World War Two. It explains why this designation was wrong, and why it needed to be changed in order that the men and women who served there be accorded the recognition that they had been striving for since the war concluded. The concrete measure of that recognition comes in the form of the 1939- 1945 Star Medal. This prestigious award is for duty in an area that came under enemy attack during the Second World War, until 1993 restricted to those who served overseas. The dissertation plots the activities of Air Force and Army squadrons and units at Horn Island, both Australian and American, draws on an extensive bank of oral evidence, and focuses on the experiences of those who served there. Their histories portray what life was like at that Advanced Operational Airbase, and demonstrate the effect Horn Island service had on veterans. These are tangible demonstrations and are attested to by the fact that 60 years later the men and women have begun to return. They are being drawn back to their island of service, to walk in the steps of their youth, recapturing a past that will soon be lost to memory. Many bring their descendants to pass down their family's wartime heritage. On 26 October 2001 the 1939-1945 Star Medal finally was awarded to qualifying Tones Strait veterans, a decision that affected thousands of men, and a handful of women, who now hold the physical symbol that their wartime service has been acknowledged. However, for many other Horn Island veterans there is still unfinished business.
