The Association Banner
Thanks to the Association Patron, Lieutenant Colonel Terry Irwin and the
Orange Ex Services Club, we have an Association Banner.
The banner was officially presented at the Orange Ex Services Club on
Saturday 8th March, 2000 by LTCOL Irwin.
Few serving personnel of 1/19 RNSWR are Association
members. Membership is actively encouraged
and will
be valued. We hope to see more names in the next Association
Newsletter.
The membership application is available for download
in a adobe acrobat PDF format. You will need the

Reader it is available for free from Adobe.
The application form is also available in
