Army poster competition makes its mark
27 March 2007
The Minister for Defence, the Hon Dr Brendan Nelson, and the Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Peter Leahy, announced the winner of a recent Army recruiting poster competition at a reception held at Russell Offices, Canberra.
The competition, an initiative of the Chief of Army, encouraged Australian soldiers to bring new and original ideas to the recruiting campaign to boost Army numbers.
Designed by Private David Eason, the winning poster features an image of World War One veteran Marcel Caux resting before the ANZAC Day march in 2004. His picture is superimposed over a photo of a contemporary soldier on duty in the Middle East.
Private David Eason is a young Army Reserve supply operator at 8 Combat Services Support Battalion, Sydney. David also works as a lifeguard at the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre in Homebush.
