5/7RAR, Born Again

by Stewart McLeod

Here is a song I put together after I heard that the 5th and 7th Battalions were again going to be linked as one, 5/7 RAR.

I first served in 5/7 RAR from Jul 1976 to Jan 1980, in Charlie and Admin Coys. After being posted away for one year, I marched back into the battalion in Jan 1981. Up until early 1985, I was in Delta Company then was sent to BHQ until April 1985 and then posted to 1 MCE.

I did not know what to put into the video until I found out that the re-linking parade was going to be live streamed. I think the song captures the spirit of the occasion and compliments the heavily edited video.
