Afghanistan, Iraq & Middle East Area of Operations Commemoration Service 2026
The Cronulla RSL Sub-Branch was honoured to be represented by our Senior Vice President, Ross Edwards, and General Committee member, James Moody, at the Engadine RSL Sub-Branch’s Third Annual Afghanistan, Iraq & Middle East Area of Operations Commemoration Service held on Friday 23rd October 2026.
This year’s service holds special significance as we mark the 25th anniversary of Australian service in Afghanistan and honour the more than 46,000 Australians who served across Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East Area of Operations between 2001 and 2021.
We pause to remember all who served, acknowledge the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families, and pay tribute to those who continue to live with the lasting impacts of their service.
We thank the Engadine RSL Sub-Branch for hosting this important commemorative service and for ensuring the service and sacrifice of our veterans are never forgotten.
Lest We Forget. 🌺
