From Ross & Lesley Richard

We wanted to thank you very much for the wonderful reunion. There was no part of it that we did not really enjoy, especially meeting up with friends, old and new.

Your hospitality and welcome was second to none, you should all be very proud of what you put together.

Whatever Betty is on to keep her going for a week none stop please send a gross to us!

We are in equal parts keen to get home but also very sad it is all over.

Our love and thanks again to you all.

From Ted & Karyn Chitham

RARA SA has done the 9th Battalion The Royal Australian Regiment proud with its organisation and conduct of an excellent re-union. So full of 50 year old memories and reminders.

No doubt you and your Team have set the highest standard.

Duty First and Duty Done

Congratulations

From Tank & Lyn McKay

I have just been processing my photos of the reunion and via them reliving a wonderful few days in Adelaide in the company of the members of the 9RAR family.
I would like to thank and congratulate you and your helpers on an absolutely fantastic reunion. Everything was as advertised and ran like clockwork.
Please pass on my family’s gratitude to all who had a part in organising this memorable event.
I have attached a few photos of yourself that were taken during the reunion.

From the Kiwis

Just a quick email to thank you, your committee, and all the 9 RAR family for the great reunion that we all enjoyed. The 4 Kiwis, and their wives and partners, were given a wonderful welcome to your reunion, and we all spent time meeting up with old friends, and some new ones!

We never felt that we were outsiders – but always were part of the battalion just as we were in 1968 and 1969. This started when we went out to Brighton on Sunday for the C Coy get-together, continued on Monday night at the Dinner, and in particular, on Tuesday at the Commemorative Parade and Service at Keswick Barracks. It was a great honour to be included in the way we were.

All our very best to you all, and we are looking forward to hearing of your next reunion!
