Description

The Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps (RAAOC) units throughout the Australian Army are celebrating the first anniversary of the bestowal of the title ‘Royal’. At the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) Ordnance Depot in the Kure naval dockyards, special dinners were held in the officers’, sergeants’ and men’s messes to mark the occasion. Junior non commissioned officers (NCOs) and men do not lack for good fare in their mess.
