Description
Sunnyside Memorial at Camp Terendak, dedicated by Overwatch Battle Group (West)-4 (OBG(W)-4) on 1 January 2008. The Memorial commemorates the first two Australian soldiers killed in action in the Engagement of Sunnyside (1 January 1900) during the Boer War. It is a replica of the stone laid in South Africa.
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.
