50th Anniversary SASR

[Tiger-pie]

Hundreds of former members of Australia's Special Air Service Regiment and their families have spent the week at Perth's Campbell Barracks celebrating the unit's 50th Anniversary. For many it was the first time that they had set foot in Campbell Barracks since their serving days. It was the chance to meet up with old mates that had these diggers coming to Perth from all over Australia and overseas.

What ceremony would be complete without the handing out of hats? The GG hands out berets to newly inducted SAS troopers.

Great photos!! You know-in a few years a good portrait photo of these guys will be worth cash. Those gongs are amazing.

Excellent photos!!

Did you notice that the para in post #5 is wearing the Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM) that we disscused in another thread on his award bar?

The officer in post #9 too.

regards Eddie.

I'm wrong, Ken Bladen was a 1 SAS Company officer when the red beret and Infantry Corp badge was worn, prior to permission for the sandy coloured beret to be worn.
