2017 50th Anniversary Reunion

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!
