Contingent members visit Kranji War Cemetery and the Memorial to the Missing in Singapore.
A contingent of 35 Army personnel, principally drawn from the 2nd Division, are supporting a dedication service in Be’er-Sheva (also known as Beersheba), Israel on 28 April 2008.
The activity will dedicate the Park of the Australian Soldier and unveil a memorial commemorating the charge of the Australian Light Horse at Be’er-Sheva and the broader contribution made by Australian soldiers to the region over the last century.
Soldiers from the 4th/19th Prince of Wales’s Light Horse Regiment and 12th/16th Hunter River Lancers (the descendant units of the 4th and 12th Australian Light Horse Regiments who conducted the charge), make up the majority of the Army contingent.
The park, donated to the Be’er-Sheva municipality, has been developed by the Pratt Foundation and features a landscaped recreational area and innovative playground catering for children with disabilities.
The central feature is a life-sized bronze sculpture by Australian sculptor, Peter Corlett, commemorating the charge of the Australian Light Horse.
