Description
Exterior view of the chapel on Ali Air Base. The Red Cross and Red Crescent emblems embellish the T-Walls screening the chapel. One of a series of photographs taken by Mike Cecil, Head of Military Heraldry and Technology, as part of the Memorial's Curators in the Field program. Mike travelled to Iraq in May 2008 to record the early stages of withdrawal of the Overwatch Battle Group (West) (OBG-W) before the cessation of combat operations in June 2008. Photographs, oral histories and objects were collected to document the experience of Australian Defence Force personnel during Operation CATALYST.
