CAPT PETER MCCARTHY AWARD
On 12 Jan 1988, Captain Peter 'Bags' McCarthy RACT was killed whilst on service with UNTSO when his jeep was blown up by a landmine during a patrol in southern Lebanon. To mark the 20th anniversary of his passing and to recognise Peter's service and ultimate sacrifice, Mrs Sue McCarthy agreed to the proposal to name the Perpetual RACT prize at RMC Duntroon in his honour. The HOC extended an invitation to Mrs Sue McCarthy to present the award for the first time at the RACT Lanyard Ceremony on 10 Dec 07.
The 2008 Captain Peter McCarthy Award was presented to SCDT Sally Williamson. Many congratulations.
