At Tobruk Lines, Holsworthy on 3 Dec 73, 5 RAR and 7 RAR linked to form the new
battalion, 5/7 RAR. Soldiers, non-commissioned officers and officers were drawn from both
battalions to form the new battalion. The 5 RAR mascot, then SGT Quintus, and the
7 RAR Pipes and Drums were adopted by 5/7 RAR.
My battalions birthday.

Scott,
Thanks. Silly me did not look closely enough at the picture. I thought from a brief glance it was American Revolution.
Either way I would be on the Redcoats side !!
One of the reasons I like the forum is always learning new stuff.
Wayne had a significant one also and those two battalions have recently been reformed again and are again 5 and 7. Now 8 Battlions in the Australian Army. It may be small but punches above its weight.
Regards
Brett
PS That image looks like it was the inspiration for a Wilson Edward set.
