The 9th Battalion AIF Living History Unit from Rockhampton will be travelling to France for three weeks in July 2016 to attend and participate in commemorations in Fromelles, Pozieres and several other locations where Australians served during World War 1. We will be marching in full AIF uniform and Marching Order kit, along with our Australian Army Nursing Service members, remembering and paying tribute to all members of the AIF. Among the thousands of names, we will recount the actions of John Leak, who enlisted in 9th Battalion at our home town, Rockhampton. In August last year we visited his grave where a small service was held with his family in attendance. This year has been busy with our Battalion providing interactive historic content for the 2015 ANZAC Troop Train from Winton to Brisbane with the week culminating in our participation in the Brisbane City ANZAC Day Dawn Service where we formed the Honour Guard. We also marched proudly in the Brisbane City ANZAC Day parade.

This year, with the support of our local RSL, our Living History Unit will be raising funds to assist all members of the Battalion to meet the costs involved in the France commemoration events.
