Today we mark 100 years since the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli and pay our respects to those who selflessly risked their lives fighting in World War 1 for our country.

Rats of Tobruk

Sun, 12 Apr 2015 12:54:08 +0000

74 years ago the “Rats of Tobruk” defeated Rommel & the Nazis.

Today Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove joined us to honour our 6 remaining “Rats of Reid.”

A wonderful celebration by Five Dock RSL in honour of ordinary Australians that did extraordinary things in WW2.
