Extract from the RAAEC Newsletter, August 1971


The August 1971 RAAEC Newsletter was found amongst Sgt. Graham Leader’s memorabilia. Graham served in 1970-71 at Taurama Barracks. Only the pages relating to the PNG Command have been published.

When reading the newsletter, Sgt. Bill Larsen, who served at Moem Barracks, read about the football team at Moem and kindly forwarded the relevant photos that have been added.
