Greetings from Timor Leste

WO2 John Garton, from Timor Leste:
A Happy St Barbara
’s Day from the Gunners currently deployed to Timor Leste.

---The association may not be aware that over 80 personnel from 16 Fd Regt deployed to Timor over the period 20–27 Nov for a six month tour. They have been rounded out to a Infantry Coy size group by territorial personnel from throughout the North Island. We are operating as Infantry platoons patrolling around the capital city Dili. 
---We will be celebrating with the Aussie Air Defence Bty (here as Infantry too) deployed with 5 RAR, the current Battle Group HQ. Col Graeme Williams RNZA will be joining us. He is currently the Chief Military Observer in Timor.
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with news of the day, John. Our best wishes to you guys too. Any photos will be very welcome!
