ANZAC DAY - 5RAR MARCHES IN BRISBANE

I proudly watched my brother Paul Foley (B Coy 2nd Tour) and daughter Sarah-Jane (12 yrs) march in Brisbane on Sat 25th April with 5RAR. It was a hugh turnout and so good to see the chaps of 5 RAR again marching behind their TIGER banner. We yelled and called out to them 'GO THE TIGERS" and all the chaps looked around and smiled. We took photos of father and daughter beside the banner. Sarah wore her Grandfather's medals from WWII. Her Grandfather was a "Rat Of Tobruk" and we very proud of him as well. He passed away on 13th May 2008. My brother Paul will be in Canberra in June for the reunion of Battle of Binh Ba, so if you are going, go and say hello to him as it will be 40 years since he has seen any of his mates.
