24.01.2022 This Anzac Day will be different for all of us. Even though we cant physically stand together, it is still a chance for each of us to reflect with gratitude on... the sacrifice of those serving now and of those who have served before us. To commemorate this Anzac Day, we ask you to share your images, or the images of a loved one, with us, showing Armys mateship and comradery. These stories will be compiled to form part of our Anzac Day video this year. If youd like to be involved, please send your image, along with a story up to 50 words and the members rank, name and year of photo via email: [email protected]. We will be accepting submissions up until 11:59PM on 16/04/2020. As these images may be shared on our social media pages, please ensure you have permission for them to be shared publicly.

24.01.2022 #NoOrdinaryJob At 11 am today the nation paused for Remembrance Day, marking the 102nd anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War on 11 Novembe...r 1918. Between 1914 and 1918 a newly federated Australia sent 414,000 of their citizens to face the horrors of modern industrialized war. By 1918, almost 62,000 Australians lay dead among the mud and destruction of the trenches in Europe, the sands of Sinai, Palestine and Syria. Remembrance Day this year was unique for Australia's Federation Guard, whilst we had a smaller ceremonial presence, the significance of the occasion remained. Instead of the Royal Guard that usually occurs, the Guard provided an Honour Guard and a Colour Party at a smaller service held at the Australian War Memorial. During the ceremony, we tuned in with the rest of Australia to observe a minute’s silence in memory of those who have died or suffered in war and on peacekeeping and humanitarian operations.

23.01.2022 Today we shared a very different ANZAC Day. Here are some images of members past and present, & how we commemorated the dawn service. It was incredibly moving to hear the last post from over the hill, but playing right on cue. This was the first time on over 20 years where I was not in Army or Ambulance uniform for the day, but it felt right to be there in RSL attire. Thanks also to 2LT(AAC) Jacqui Grievson, CDTCPL Jack Newman, CDT Douglas Day, CDTREC Iszak Stewart & (former... CUO) OCDT Tayla Young. If any other member of the unit wishes to share a photo, please add them in the comments. LTAAC) Alen Lucic. Administration Officer, 205 Army Cadet Unit. #205ArmyCadetUnit

20.01.2022 At the Dawn Service ANZAC Day 2015, small wooden crosses were placed around the Mudgee War Memorial (Cenotaph) by family members to remember the Mudgee fallen d...uring the 100 years commemoration of the Gallipoli landing. The crosses were renewed over the years but as they had seen better days, it was decided to remove them and give them an honourable discharge. They were ceremoniously burnt recently and their ashes will be respectfully spread around the Cenotaph. We will remember them. See more

19.01.2022 Dame Maud McCarthy was one of the most highly decorated womens leaders of the First World War. The Matron-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force in France... and Flanders from 1914 to 1919, McCarthy sailed on the first troop ship to leave England. She remained in charge for the entire war and became known as the nurses general, but what many do not know is that McCarthy was Australian. She was an outstanding woman of her time, her great-niece Kate Sevier said. Sevier would learn more about her great-aunts extraordinary achievements when she began researching her McCarthy family history. She took on enormous challenges under difficult conditions, and was an outstanding leader, a great role model and a pioneer in the field of nursing and military leadership. [She] dedicated her life to military nursing services. Read more: https://www.awm.gov.au//dame-maud-mccarthy-the-nurses-gene #AnzacAtHome #AnzacDay2020 #MuseumAtHome

16.01.2022 A message from the Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Rick Burr AO, DSC, MVO to the Army: COVID-19 is a serious challenge that will impact us in many ways. It i...s real, it is serious, and we all have an individual responsibility to act. There are many things we will need to do, but first and foremost we must protect #OurPeople you, your families so that we can preserve our capability. We need to be fit to fight. There is a lot of guidance and direction out there that we all need to follow. Put simply, your actions must demonstrate that we are all committed to stop the spread of this pandemic that is so threatening to our society. This virus does not discriminate, and the only way to reduce its spread is to strictly adhere to the direction given, which is regularly updated on the COVID-19 app the Government recently released. It is simple and it is clear and applies to everyone. Across Army, and across Defence, we need to adjust to the new environment. We have a responsibility to continue to function within these necessary restrictions. On 31 March, the CDF released direction regarding ADF essential functions, social distancing measures and training. Subsequently, I have issued instructions to meet this direction and prepare the Army for an operation to assist the national effort to protect citizens against this threat. I do not know the details of the tasks that Army will be asked to do in the coming weeks and months. Many of them will be different to the tasks you are specifically trained for. However, I am completely confident that you will step up, adapt to the problem, serve the nation with pride and selflessly support our communities during what will be difficult times. The themes of Army in Motion and Good Soldiering should resonate with you as you perform these duties. This will be a tough time, and we will ask a lot of you and your family. So please, use the time that you have now wisely. Get yourself organised, help build family readiness and resilience and help your team become more ready to deal with these forthcoming challenges. Lead by your example and improve your confidence and capability to respond when needed. If you need help just ask. Your chain of command are here to support you. Working remotely will require innovation and self-discipline. Teams need to stay connected, learning needs to continue, the obligation to serve and be ready is undiminished - indeed it is ever more important. The nation and our communities associate the reassuring presence of our Army with safety, security and hope. It will be no different with COVID-19. Thank you for all that you are doing. Look after your teams, your families and yourselves. #GoodSoldiering. For more information on Armys response to COVID-19 visit: https://www.army.gov.au//media-r/operation-covid-19-assist

16.01.2022 Today we remembered the service and sacrifice of Corporal Cameron Stewart Baird, who was killed fighting in Afghanistan in 2013. The Last Post Ceremony was deli...vered by Lieutenant General David Morrison in his last official role at the Memorial as Chief of Army. The Governor General, Prime Minister and other dignitaries were in attendance. Cameron Baird was born in 1981 to Kaye and Doug Baird in Burnie, Tasmania. He grew up in Melbourne and attended the Gladstone Views Primary School and Secondary College with his brother Brendan with whom he shared a close bond. He became a keen and skilled sportsman, and as a school boy he excelled in discus and shotput, but his greatest passion was for Aussie Rules football. He was captain of the Victorian Schoolboys Team and won best and fairest awards at all junior levels. In one season he played only six games, but still received the maximum votes for each game. A fierce but fair competitor, Cameron soon came to the notice of the Geelong Football Club. In 1999, his final year of under-18s, he played a practice match in which he was injured in the shoulder. Requiring surgery, he was overlooked in the draft that year. Rather than wait a year for the next draft, Cameron chose instead to enlist in the Australian Army. He was turned down twice because of his injury, but succeeded on the third try. He proved a skilled soldier, and successfully graduated to commando training at the age of 19. He was posted to the 4th Battalion (Commando), Royal Australian Regiment later known as the 2nd Commando Regiment. Corporal Baird challenged himself constantly, and completed nearly 150 army courses, becoming proficient in handling more than 40 weapons and systems. He was known never to ask a soldier to do something he would not do himself. Where possible, he would personally provide support for families of soldiers serving overseas, and was involved in charity work to provide for families and soldiers who were struggling financially. Corporal Baird was deployed to East Timor and Iraq, but was disappointed with the lack of action required by Australian troops, and left the army in July 2004. After a period spent in private security, he re-enlisted in September 2006. On returning to 4 RAR (Cdo) Corporal Baird made four deployments to Afghanistan. In 2007, he was part of a commando company ordered to search and clear a Taliban stronghold. His platoon became engaged in a close-range fire-fight with the enemy, during the course of which his friend and fellow soldier Private Luke Worsley was mortally wounded. Despite being under heavy machine-gun and assault-rifle fire, Corporal Baird took Private Worsley to safety and went on to reorganise his men and neutralise the enemy machine-guns with grenades, continuing the fight until the stronghold was cleared. For his conspicuous gallantry, composure and superior leadership under fire, Corporal Baird was awarded the Medal of Gallantry. On the 22nd of June 2013, during his fourth deployment to Afghanistan, Corporal Baird and his team attacked an insurgent network in the remote Khod Valley of Uruzgan province. Shortly after insertion by helicopter, Corporal Baird and his team came under small-arms fire, which he was instrumental in subduing. Another special operations team nearby also came under heavy fire, and its commander was seriously wounded. Corporal Baird led his team in a charge towards their position, neutralising threats with grenades and rifle-fire. He personally charged an enemy-held building three times, at one point having to pause to fix his jammed rifle. The third time he tried to enter the building, selflessly drawing enemy fire away from his team, the enemy was neutralised, but during this last charge Corporal Cameron Baird was killed. It was determined that his acts of valour and self-sacrifice had allowed the Australians to regain the initiative and preserved the lives of his team members. For this he was awarded the Victoria Cross for Australia, Australias highest military decoration for valour. But in the process of charging that door he lost his life. Chief of Defence, General David Hurley, said of Corporal Baird: This man was a decorated soldier a modern-day warrior who set a standard that every soldier aspires to achieve. A commando later said, For such a big, intimidating dude a fearless warrior, he was actually a really gentle man and he did have a big heart. Warrant Officer of the Army, Dave Ashley, said, Corporal Bairds actions epitomised the courage and quick thinking needed to be a commando. He was just a dynamo in that unit I know that Cameron Baird is one of Australias greatest ever soldiers. Cameron Baird once told his mother: It could happen to me, it could happen to anyone, any time. We know the dangers, but its our job. His funeral service was held at the Reedy Creek Baptist Church on the Gold Coast. His parents and brother accepted his Victoria Cross from the Governor-General of Australia at an investiture ceremony in February 2014. Wishing to preserve the legacy of their sons Army service and the dedication to duty of those serving in the 2nd Commando Regiment, the Baird family immediately handed the medal to the Australian War Memorial, where it is now displayed in the Hall of Valour. His was the 100th Victoria Cross to be awarded to an Australian in any conflict. Cameron Baird died aged 32.

14.01.2022 #DYK that when the slouch hat is worn at Royal Military College Duntroon, it is traditionally worn with the chinstrap buckle on the right side of the face and... the brim down? The hat is worn this way as a mark of respect and remembrance to General Bridges, the first commander of the 1st Australian Imperial Force, found wearing his slouch hat back to front when he was fatally wounded at Gallipoli. With historical roots predating 1885, the slouch hat became a famous symbol of the ANZACs during the First World War and continues to be worn by all Australian Army personnel. Today the slouch hat singularly and unambiguously defines and describes who we are. To read more about the history of the slouch hat, head to: https://www.army.gov.au/our-histo/traditions/the-slouch-hat.

10.01.2022 This is from SA AAC BDE HQ, but same rules apply to NSW.

09.01.2022 In the lead up to ANZAC Day next Saturday we have some info and updates we will be posting over the coming week. With the kids at home, now is the perfect time ...to show them the Respect the Day video and start a conversation with them about the importance of keeping the ANZAC spirit alive during these difficult times. Its a shame our Returned Service Men and Women wont be able to gather at Club Mudgee this year, there wont be a service or march - but we can still show our respect and honour them in many ways between now and ANZAC Day. It is so important that we reflect on the traditions and talk about memories of ANZAC days in the past. It will be different this year - but the day has no less importance. #westandtogether See more

06.01.2022 Which Cadets can tell me about this photo?? Who is the portrait of? What did he do??

05.01.2022 This comes across as a little abrupt but good information anyway. From a Serviceman. Dear Australian media and the general public, its time for an ANZAC Day ...education. Below is a list of things that current, and former members, of the Australian and New Zealand Defence Force would like to point out prior to ANZAC Day: 1. ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign of WWI. ANZAC is an acronym for Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. Its written as ANZAC, not Anzac. 2. Each year on the 25th of April we reflect on all Defence Force personnel, past and present, and the sacrifices theyve made. It is a solemn day, treat it as such. 3. ANZAC Day is one of Australias most important national occasions. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during WWI. 4. Traditionally, Rosemary is worn on ANZAC Day. Rosemary is found growing wild on the Gallipoli peninsula. Thats why its significant. 5. The RED Poppy symbolises peace, death and sleep of the fallen servicemen/woman. While the PURPLE Poppy represents remembrance of the animal victims of war. The ORANGE Poppy represents the acknowledgement of the Service families, and also acknowledges the families loss due to veteran suicide. The WHITE Poppy worn between 1918 - 1939 symbolises the wearers commitment to peace. Learn the difference! 6. We commemorate ANZAC Day, not celebrate it. Its not a bloody party. 7. At dawn on the 25th of April 1915, soldiers rowed ashore in boats called lighters during the Gallipoli landings, under fire and without outboards motors. 8. Its a bugle, not a trumpet. The Last Post is sounded, not played. Its not a dance tune. 9. Not every serviceman/woman were soldiers. Some were Sailors and Airmen. Please take the time to ascertain what Service they served in, and use the correct terminology. It means a hell of a lot to us!!! 10. Theyre medals, not badges. Theyre citations, not pins. Please learn the difference. 11. Medal recipients wear their medals on the left side of their chest covering their heart; family members/descendants wear the medals on the right side of their chest. 12. No, I am not wearing my fathers or grandfathers medals, they are mine. I earned them during my Service. 13. Medals, ribbons and Unit Citations are EARNED, not WON. Its not a chook raffle. They are awarded to the recipient, not given to them. 14. Yes, I am allowed to wear my Return From Active Service badge on any bloody day of the year that I choose to wear it. Get over it. And no, its not a bloody Medal. 15. Australian and New Zealand soldiers did not retreat from Gallipoli, they withdrew. 16. It really doesnt matter which side you wear your Poppy on, as long as its worn with pride. Traditionally, men on the left breast and women on the right breast. 17. Please, dont try to draw comparisons between sports players and war veterans. Ive never seen a sports player perform acts of heroism whilst under fire, to protect their fellow Service personnel, flag and Country. 18. ANZAC Day isnt a day to go and watch, or play sport. Show some bloody respect to the brave men and women in uniform, past and present, who fought for the blanket of freedom that you currently sleep under. 19. Having a few drinks and playing 2 up is an ANZAC Day tradition. Getting shit faced, picking fights and acting like a bloody yobbo isnt. 20. Lest We Forget isnt a throwaway line, it actually has meaning: its an expression of remembrance, par excellence. It has dignified origins, a rich history. Dont misuse or disrespect it. 21. The Ode comes from the poem "For the Fallen", written by Laurence Binyon. The verse, which is commonly known as The Ode Of Remembrance, is as follows: "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them." Lest We Forget Here endeth the lesson.
