Lieutenant General Angus Campbell, AO, DSC, was recently honoured by the United States for exemplary s...ervice with the award of the Legion of Merit - Commander. The United States awards the Legion of Merit for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements to members of the seven uniformed services (see note below) and also to military and political figures of foreign governments. The Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, General Robert B. Neller, veteran of Operations Restore Hope (Somalia) and Just Cause (Nicuragua), bestowed the honour upon LTGEN Campbell in a ceremony in Washington DC. The Legion of Merit is awarded in four various classes: Chief Commander (to heads of state); Commander (service chiefs or similar); Officer (star rank to colonel (E)); and Legionnaire (all others). The Legion of Merit - Commander, as awarded to Chief of Army, is the second of only two US neck order medals, that is to say they are worn around the neck. Congratulations to Lieutenant General Campbell. ----------------------------------------------------------- Images of Ceremony by CPL Braun, USMC.

13.01.2022 It took two years and more than 450 professional photographers from across the country to produce the portrait collection, Reflections - honouring our WWII ve...terans. Working with the Australian War Memorial and the Returned Services League of Australia, the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP), undertook the largest photographic project ever undertaken in Australia with over 6,500 portraits of Second World War veterans. These portraits are now projected in the Memorials Second World War Galleries for the appreciation of visitors and are available online as part of the National Collection. Take a look at some of the photos online: https://bit.ly/2lbKYYQ

10.01.2022 ANNE LEACH | 1914 - 2017 102 years It is with a heavy heart that RSLWA acknowledges the passing of World War II Veteran Anne Leach OAM. Each ANZAC Day Anne dons... her old nurses uniform with its white veil and red cape, grey dress and brown shoes (with stockings), and a chest full of medals, to join the March. For a while now Anne has no longer been stepping out in the March but, in a concession to age, takes pride of place in one of the veteran open air jeeps which lead the parade. Please enter an image description. Anne enlisted as an Army nurse in Perth in 1940 and served for two years in the Middle East in Egypt and Palestine. There she made friendships and gathered memories to last a lifetime. On return home she married a young officer from the 2/16th Battalion, Vernon Leach, whom she had met on a blind date in Gaza. As a married woman she was no longer eligible for overseas service and so transferred to what later became known as Hollywood Hospital. Post-war, Annes sense of service and commitment to her community remained undiminished.

07.01.2022 UNITED KINGDOM Qualifying time for Accumulated Campaign Service Medal reduced The Queen has approved an amendment to the Accumulated Campaign Service Medal,... with the qualifying time criterion to be reduced from 36 months (1,080 days) to 24 months (720 days). Service personnel will now be eligible for an Accumulated Campaign Service Medal (ACSM) after two years of operational service instead of the three years previously required. The change to the qualifying time criterion for the medal for members of the Armed Forces, MOD civil servants, and Contractors on Deployed Operations (CONDO) came into force on 1 July 2011, following approval from Her Majesty The Queen. The Medal will remain unchanged but a new ribbon will be awarded. The ACSM was instituted to recognise individual repeat operational service in those theatres where the General Service Medal (1962) with clasp was awarded since 14 August 1969. In May 2000, the Operational Service Medal (OSM) replaced the General Service Medal 1962 (GSM 62) as the United Kingdoms campaign service medal. Consequently, the ACSM ribbon and qualifying period have been amended to recognise this change and the range of qualifying service amended to reflect the contemporary operational and medallic environments. Holders of an operational service medal or other specifically designated multi-national campaign medals serving on or after 1 January 2008, be they military, MOD civilian or Contractors on Deployed Operations, serving or retired, are eligible for the ACSM 11 provided they meet the qualifying criteria. To be awarded the ACSM 11, an individual must hold a qualifying operational medal from the list below, or other specifically designated multinational campaign medals, and have completed more than 24 months (720 days) campaign service. Bars are to be awarded for each additional period of 720 days approved operational service. A month is defined as 30 days, and part-months may be accumulated. The following campaign service counts towards the ACSM 11: a. GSM Northern Ireland 14 Aug 69 - 31 Jul 07 b. GSM Dhofar 1 Oct 69 - 30 Sep 76 c. GSM Lebanon 7 Feb 83 - 9 Mar 84 d. GSM Mine Clearance Gulf of Suez 15 Aug 84 - 15 Oct 84 e. GSM Gulf 17 Nov 86 - 28 Feb 89 f. GSM Kuwait 8 Mar 91 - 30 Sep 91 g. GSM N Iraq & S Turkey 6 Apr 91 - 17 Jul 91 h.

OSM Democratic Republic of Congo 14 Jun 03 - 10 Sep 03 l. The Iraq Medal 20 Jan 03 - 22 May 11 m.

06.01.2022 Michelle Suzanne Claire "Chuck" Norris MC, RAMC is a British lance corporal and medic noted for heroism in the 2003 Iraq conflict. She is the first woman to be ...awarded the Military Cross, while attached to The Princess of Waless Royal Regiment in Iraq. Norris was awarded her medal personally by Queen Elizabeth II on 21 March 2007 as the result of her actions in Iraq on 11 June 2006. Military career On 11 June 2006, Norris saw the most intense and largest battle in Iraq since 2004. A search operation in Al Amarah saw Norriss company group come under heavy sustained and accurate fire from a well-organized enemy force of more than 200.[4] Private Norris was serving as a Combat Medical Technician attached to the 1st Battalion Princess of Waless Royal Regiment,[1] Norris (then aged 19) jumped out of her Warrior Patrol vehicle and climbed up the side of it to rescue the vehicle commander, Colour Sergeant Ian Page, who had been shot in the mouth, all while being heavily fired upon by snipers at night. One bullet hit the radio next to her knee while she was treating the wounded soldier.[5] She then helped drag the sergeant back into the vehicle while still being fired upon. Her commanding officer recommended that she receive a medal for her bravery, and the award of the Military Cross was gazetted on 15 December 2006. She is the first woman to be awarded that decoration. She received the decoration from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace on 21 March 2007. Norris and Page were evacuated by a British Lynx helicopter, which was being flown by Lieutenant-Colonel William Chesarek USMC (then a Captain) as the result of an officer exchange programme. Chesarek was subsequently awarded the British Distinguished Flying Cross as a result of his actions on this occasion, receiving the award at the same time Norris received her Military Cross.

06.01.2022 Johnson Gideon Beharry carried out two separate acts of great courage while serving in Iraq with the 1st Battalion Princess of Waless Royal Regiment leading to him becoming the first living soldier in nearly half a century to be awarded the Victoria Cross.

05.01.2022 Today in Australian military history - 19th May, 1915 - Lance Corporal Albert Jacka, 14th Battalion, Victoria Cross action at Courtneys Post, Gallipoli. Jacka...s was the first VC to be awarded to an Australian in the First World War. He also went on to win the Military Cross and Bar. Albert Jacka was born on 10 January 1893 at Layard in Victoria. He completed elementary schooling before working as a labourer, first with his father and then with the Victorian State Forests Department. He enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on 18 September 1914 as a private in the 14th Battalion. After training in Egypt Jackas battalion landed at Gallipoli on 26 April 1915. Just over three weeks later on 19 May, with the ANZACs now entrenched above the beaches, the Turks launched large-scale frontal assaults against their positions. Some Turks captured a small section of trench at Courtneys Post. Early attempts to drive them out failed, until Jacka, taking advantage of a diversion created by bomb throwers at one end of the Turkish position, leapt in, killing most of the occupants. For this he was awarded Australias first Victoria Cross of the First World War. Jacka quickly became famous - his likeness was used on recruiting posters and his exploits featured regularly in newspapers, particularly in his native Victoria. He began a rapid rise through the ranks, finally becoming a captain in March 1917. Jacka having risen no higher has been attributed to his frequent disputes with superior officers. After Gallipoli the 14th Battalion was shipped to France, where, at Pozires in August 1916 and at Bullecourt in 1917 he won the Military Cross and a bar to that award. The Australian official historian, Charles Bean, described his actions at Pozires, during which he recaptured a section of trench, freed a group of recently captured Australians and forced the surrender of some fifty Germans, as "the most dramatic and effective act of individual audacity in the history of the AIF." He was severely wounded during this action and was hit by a snipers bullet in July 1917. On each occasion he returned to the front, always furthering his reputation as one of the AIFs most respected warriors. In May 1918 he received the wound that ended his combat career, this time during a German gas bombardment near Villers-Bretonneux. Jacka returned to Australia in September 1919. Greeted by a large crowd upon his return, Jacka was described in one newspaper as "the symbol of the spirit of the ANZACs." After being demobilised in January 1920 he went into business with two former members of his battalion. He married the following year and he and his wife later adopted a daughter. In 1929 Jacka was elected to the St Kilda Council becoming mayor the following year. His political career was characterised by his strong interest in assisting the unemployed. Meanwhile his business, which had performed well until the late 1920s, was forced into voluntary liquidation in 1930. At the same time Jackas health began to deteriorate. He entered Caulfield Military Hospital in December 1931 and died from kidney disease the following month. More than 6,000 people filed past his coffin as it lay in state and his funeral procession, flanked by thousands of onlookers, was led by over 1,000 returned soldiers - the coffin was carried by eight Victoria Cross winners. Jacka was buried with full military honours in St Kilda cemetery. Victoria Cross Citation: For most conspicuous bravery on the night of the 19th-20th May, 1915, at "Courtneys Post" Gallipoli Peninsula. Lance Corporal Jacka, while holding a portion of our trench with four other men, was heavily attacked. When all except himself were killed or wounded, the trench was rushed and occupied by seven Turks. Lance Corporal Jacka at once most gallantly attacked them single handed, and killed the whole party, five by rifle fire and two with the bayonet. Source: London Gazette No. 7279 Date: 23 July 1915 Military Cross Citation: For conspicuous gallantry. He led his platoon against a large number of the enemy, who had counter attacked the battalion on his right. The enemy were driven back some prisoners they had taken were recovered, and 50 of the enemy captured. He was himself wounded in this attack. Source: Commonwealth Gazette No. 62 Date: 19 April 1917 Bar to Military Cross Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He carried out a daring reconnaissance of the enemys position, and obtained most valuable information. Later, he rendered invaluable assistance in guiding troops to their assembly positions.

04.01.2022 As the sun sets over Sydney Harbour, and the guests from the 7th and final Investiture Ceremony make their way home, the Governor has reiterated a Call to Actio...n made over the past four days - Nominate New South Wales Women! Out of the almost 300 News South Wales recipients invested at Government House this week, approximately 30% were women. His Excellency said "this does not reflect the large numbers of women who are performing extraordinary service to the community, nor those whose outstanding achievements are making significant contributions to our State, our nation, and to our wider society. In short, we need many more women to be nominated. Find out more here: https://bit.ly/2KAzhqv #honourawoman
