A Day To Be Proud of
The first Sunday in November is celebrated as Gunners Day (4 Nov 07) and is a day revered by current and past Army Reserve members of 7 Field Battery and its traditional links with other elements of 3 Field Regiment.
This year was the 79th celebration of the event which is organised by the RAA Historical Society, a small band of hard working members who put their heart and souls as well as a great deal of pride in preserving it as a premium date on the Artillery calendar in Western Australia.
Current serving members of 7 Field Battery attend the service which combines a short march, a memorial service, a church service and a buffet afterward.
Support also comes from the Cadets at 59 ACU Rockingham, the Police Pipe Band and members of the Fire and Rescue Service.
President Bruce Campbell said that planning for next year's significant milestone.
Guest of honour was Mrs Ronnie Roach and the Parade Salute was taken by Colonel Commandant MAJ Bill Ritchie.
