19.01.2022 In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.... We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. Lest We Forget

13.01.2022 In just over 12hrs - SA Brigade will be holding our Leadership and Instructor course. Stay tuned for daily updates! This is super exciting as it only 1 of 2 activities authorised nationwide for Army, Navy & Air Force Cadets. We are the trial activity for the ADFC to transition back to face to face training in the COVID-19 environment. Many factors have been implemented to ensure the safety of the Cadets & Staff whilst on the course but also their families once they head home.... If you are dropping off a Cadet tomorrow, we ask for some patience as the drop off process may be longer then you are used to. We will have plenty of staff on the ground to make it a painless process. We hope to see you all fit & healthy tomorrow ready for a fantastic week of learning, friendship & fun!

01.01.2022 LCPL Jayden Beukers was presented the 2019 RAEME Outstanding Contribution to 43ACU Award. Beukers has been a major influence in the running of 43ACU throughout 2019. He had a very important role to wrangle this year and considering his rank he did an exceptional job with training a new section of recruits. He has held the position of unit medic, he attended Tier 3 at this years AFX and from all accounts had an absolute blast throughout. This year is his final year in the Australian Army Cadets as he ages out. We wish him all the best for his future endeavours and hopes he remains in contact with his friends. Congratulations LCPL Beukers
