Regimental Annual Reunion 22 November 2024
The Association’s Annual Reunion was held on 22 November 2024 at Forestville RSL Club.
A total of 25 members and 2 guests attended for what was a very enjoyable evening. It was good to catch up with mates that we haven’t seen in a while.
Our main guest speaker on the night was ex Bombardier Bruce Irvine, a former full time national serviceman, who served with Det. 131 Divisional Locating Battery in South Vietnam from 1967 into 1968.
Bruce spoke in detail of his time on active service in that country, the first time he publicly did so. That he was speaking to fellow gunners made that easier than otherwise would have been the case. The presence of Bruce Johnston, another Vietnam veteran, was an added help.
We were also briefly addressed by LT COL Phillip Wong, outgoing CO of 9th Regiment who gave us an account of the Regiment’s activities over the past 12 months and some of the changes happening in Field Artillery.
