Help Needed - ANZAC Day 2026

We have 'A' Battery /'A' Field Battery Double-sided Dual-Purpose Banners in every Australian Capital City.

The 'A' Association are still in need of a ‘A’ Few Good People to assist us in coordinating the ‘A’ Banners in their respective capital city’s on ANZAC Day.

We require a few individuals in:

Perth, Hobart, and Melbourne.

As a return for your time, we can almost guarantee that your standing amongst the wider Gunner community will be elevated to “LEGEND” status, and you’ll no doubt receive a few “selfie” requests from those “less fortunate” Gunners whom have never served with our beloved Battery…

If this is you, and you can collect and return our Banner to the parade marshalling area on the morning, then please contact Paul Johnston on 0411 166 904 and/or email a155@abtyassn.org.a
