Anzac Memorial Services, 20th April 2008

Every year the unit Command Team provides Catafalque Parties, Flag Bearers, Prayer Readers, Flag Orderlies and Guards of Honour for our local RSL Supporters on their Anzac Memorial Services. These invents are an ongoing part of our annual unit program and serve as an important link between veterans of past conflicts and the new generation of the youth of Australia. 

206 ACU is proud to be invited to participate in such events and looks forward to the opportunity to commemorate both Anzac & Remembrance Day's.

The Kirribilli Club very kindly hosted a 5-star sit down luncheon after their morning service.
