ANZAC Day 2007
25 April 2007 In a moving Anzac Day Dawn Service conducted at Cultana Field Training Area in South Australia Chief of Army Lieutenant General Peter Leahy told the members of OBG(W)-3 (Overwatch Battlegroup (West)-3) that they will soon join other ADF members who are writing a new chapter to the proud tradition of Anzac. Chief of Army addressed the 450 members of Battle Group Tiger and 70 members of the AATTI-8 who comprise OBG(W)-3 in an emotional tribute to all Australian Service personnel who have fought in defence of the nation since the Anzacs stormed the shores of Gallipoli in 1915. Lieutenant General Peter Leahy said OBG(W)-3 soldiers and all ADF personnel carry forward the values of the nation and the Army. "You are among the best soldiers in the world...and now it is your turn to make history," he said. Lieutenant Colonel Jake Ellwood said the men and women of OBG(W)-3 are training hard to meet the challenges of the deployment on Operation Catalyst, which is part of the ADF’s contribution to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Iraq |
