United Nations and Overseas Policing Association of Australia QLD Branch
Our branch is seeking members and support staff who have served on United Nations Missions, Capacity Building and Humanitarian Operations, and Investigations. Our members are serving or former police officers who have or are currently serving under the United Nations flag. We organise social events in south-east QLD and promote the welfare and care of its members. Let's meet friends and make new ones.

This group is for women veterans who live in the Illawarra, Wollongong, South Coast area. The group provides a chance for past and present women who have served in the Australian Defence force to come together. It's very informal, and all services and ranks are welcome. We meet at the Albion Park RSL, 3rd Sunday of each month at 2:00pm. No RSVP's needed. Visit the website for more information or just drop in.

I am ex-army and now a science teacher and I make these kits as a volunteer. The kits contain everything you needs to make a bear. The bears are non-toxic and 100% washable. If you're a veteran and would like your kids (or grandkids) or yourself to have one of these kits, get in touch. At most I'll ask for postage to be covered. The materials are excess from a prior grant. There are many positive benefits to engaging in the art and craft. Limited amounts available.

I am seeking to make contact with Dieter, last known at Giralang, ACT, and Ian, last known at Silvania, NSW. I have information of interest to both.

Seeking photos from the parade. I was LT Bronwyn Jones and carried the Prince Phillip Banner for Adelaide Workshop Company.

Enlisted - Parkside (SA) Oct 1916, joined the 27th Battalion, 9th Reinforcements. Trained as a signaller and then was transferred to 28th Battalion Dec 1917. He was with 28th until he died in a bombing raid at 1.30am, 1 June 1918. Buried Franvillers Communal Cemetery Extension, France. I have service records from NAA/AWM, unit diaries for 27th and 28th Battalions, history of the 27th.
