2025 – 30th ANNIVERSARY RWANDA REUNION (ANZAC Day WEEK) – for all members of ASC 1 and ASC 2 ‘Back To Townsville’ (Supported by Townsville RSL)
The deployment of troops to Rwanda occurred in 1994/1995 and was a significant mission with ASC 1 and 2 deploying to provide the UN Medical support to the Mission.
A few members who served in Rwanda, with the generous support from the Townsville RSL, have organised a reunion to commemorate this significant deployment and occasion. The Townsville RSL’s support to the reunion has enabled it to be a low-cost affair. The only cost is for the dinner, which pays for the food, there is no facility, equipment hires or security cost on top, these have all been met by the Townsville RSL. The ‘Meet and Greet’ facility and food has been generously provided by the Townsville RSL.
The culmination of the Reunion is the Townsville ANZAC Day march, where the Rwanda Reunion Contingent will be the Lead Veteran Group. The Townsville RSL are generously providing a specific banner (pictured below) for the Rwanda veterans to march under.
