 Dear Gunners (Readers) -
WELCOME TO AIRBURST
NO 30 - 2018
The end of 2018 bears down upon us and with its demise we have seen the last of the
Firepower Seminars that formed part of the RAAHC's efforts to mark the ANZAC Centenary.
Since 2015, the RAAHC has delivered the Firepower Seminar Series on behalf of the RAA as its
official contribution to the Centenary of Anzac. Over four years, eleven seminars and 44 lectures,
Firepower has brought to life the immense challenges confronting the predecessors of today's RAA and their compatriots, one hundred years ago. This analysis of the mastery of artillery and prosecution of
firepower has revealed many pertinent lessons
for today's Army
The last seminar was held at the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) on 8 November 2018. At its conclusion the Head of Regiment presented the RAAHC's seminar manager, Lieutenant Colonel Nick Floyd, with XXXXXX. The photo below shows the presentation.
The ANZAC Centennial Gun is also winding down although it was a memorable day at the Liverpool Remembrance Day 2018 Ceremony.
It was a great sight as the Team rumbled along Liverpool streets
Then into Bigge Park the scene of the ceremony.
Horses and Detachment had to stand in place for over an hour. Both did extremely well.
After the ceremony a static display was set until 3 pm
The next outing for the A
NZAC Centennial Gun Team will be ANZAC Day 2019. Discussions are underway with a number of venues so watch the newsletter.
The time will come when the Board will decide what the final fate of the ANZAC Centennial Gun will be. It is planned to have a final decision by June 2019
Ubique,
Ian Ahearn
Deputy Chair
