Army Chiefs turn Blue for Blue September

Army’s senior leadership paused briefly on Friday September 17 to take part in the Blue September cancer awareness initiative for men.

Chief of Army Lt-Gen Ken Gillespie and his senior major-generals painted their faces blue to highlight the need for men to take their heath seriously – particularly cancer.

Lt-Gen Gillespie has had his own battle with prostate cancer and paused before his monthly Chief of Army’s Senior Advisory Group meeting to speak up about men seeking timely preventative health measures.
