24.01.2022 Today we remember, not in the traditional way, but still we remember. We remember our veterans who have served across the seas, we remember their families and all those who have served. We thank you for your service and commitment to our nation. We thank all of those who have served in 25/49 Bn(s) and the tremendous legacy they have left us. We thank those who currently serve and continue that legacy. Our thoughts are particularly with the members of our battalion who are d...eployed on operations, both domestic and overseas. Most of all, today we remember all of those who are no longer with us. Lest We Forget.
24.01.2022 In June, Commanding Officer and Regimental Sergeant Major 25/49RQR were proud to return the ‘Fortescue Trophy’ to Mr Graham Dornbusch. The trophy was awarded to Mr Dornbusch’s father Cororal Percy Dornbusch in 1931 by Colonel Fortescue who instigated the annual award for shooting. Colonel Fortescue landed at Gallipoli with the 9th Battalion, served with 49th Battalion and then commanded the 25th battalion. Corporal Dornbusch served in the Australian Army Medical Corps prior t...o WW2, then in the Middle East (Palestine and Egypt) during WW2. Corporal Dornbusch was awarded the 39/45 Star (with 8th Army Clasp), Africa Star, British War Medal 39/45 and Australian Service Medal 39/45 for his service. The battalion is proud to have participated in the return of this trophy to the Dornbusch family and is grateful for the investigative work of Lieutenant Colonel Tim Dawe and his team to enable this return.
