Seven Section is a 1951 Australian radio drama by Shan Benson, about Australian soldiers in New Guinea.[1]

It won second prize in the ABC's 1951 Jubilee Year Play Competition (won by Colin Thiele for Edge of Ice).[2][3]

Benson was a filmmaker with Film Australia. The play was based on Benson's experiences in World War Two, where he served in the Australian army from 1940 to 1944. Seven Section was Benson's first radio play for the ABC. He wrote it specifically for the competition and said he was influenced by the plays of Douglas Stewart.[4]
